Tory Gilliam

Hi! My name's Tory. I'm from Powhatan, Virginia.

How long have you been watching Jeopardy!?
I've been watching Jeopardy! for about... maybe, seven years.

How did you find out you were going to be on Jeopardy!?
Um, the local news came to my house, and they told me. It was kind of a surprise.

How do you feel about being on Jeopardy!?
Um, I'm pretty shocked, kind of. And I'm excited, too.

How did you prepare for today's show?
I went over a lot of trivia to prepare for the show, and... that's it.

What do you want to be when you grow up?
I want to be a lawyer.
