Allan Hancock College English professor Jim Read will be appearing on the Jan. 30 episode of the popular trivia game show Jeopardy! The episode will show on the local NBC affiliate KSBY-TV at 7 p.m.
Read, a longtime fan of the show and games like Trivial Pursuit, is contractually obligated to not reveal the winner of the episode. He did reveal, however, in a statement released by Allan Hancock College, that he was surprised by host Alex Trebek’s sense of humor with the audience and competitors during commercial breaks.
“We learned he hates email, rarely turns on his computer, and when asked what he listened to on his iPhone, he replied, ‘What’s an iPhone?’” Read said.
