An 11-year-old from Quantico, Virginia...

Jacob Joyner

What happened when you found out you'd be on the show?
I found out that I'd be on Jeopardy! when I got a phone call from Los Angeles. [Interviewer asks, "And who did you tell first?"] I told my dad.

How did your dad react when you told him?
My dad was like, "Wow, I can't believe it!"

Which categories are you hoping to see?
Well, I'm hoping to see a category on presidents, because I really enjoy studying the presidents.

What are you going to say to Alex when you meet him?
When I meet Alex, I'm going say, "Nice to meet you."

"As a politician, he plans on improving the lives of Americans. From Quantico, Virginia, welcome..."
