Paul Kursky

Has anyone recognized you from your previous appearance?
Has anyone recognized me? A few people have recognized me. One woman recognized me on the bus when my games were airing. That was kind of fun. Uh, I got recognized once or twice around town. A bartender gave me a free drink. That was nice.

Did you learn anything from your previous appearance that will help you this time?
What did I learn during my original run? I'm not as smart as I think I am.

Have you changed anything about your buzzer technique?
Buzzer technique? I'm looking to do the same thing, just be on the ball and, uh, quick as I can. There are some speedy people out here.

Have you spent any of your previous winnings?
With my winnings, uh, I took my fiancée on a real nice vacation to Hawaii, and, uh, I asked her to marry me. So Jeopardy! helped with my engagement ring. That was nice. Uh, and I put the rest away for a rainy day.
