Ann Arbor resident appears on 'Jeopardy!'

After the first round of the competition, Rishoi found himself with $0 in winnings. But he rebounded nicely in the "Double Jeopardy" round, at one point moving into first place, thanks partly to a successful $4,000 wager on a "Daily Double" response.

At the end of the second round, Rishoi was in third place with $9,600, while the other competitors had $11,600 and $12,000.

The "Final Jeopardy" category was Businessmen. The answer: "Thomas Watson Jr. appeared on the March 28, 1955 cover of Time with the caption 'Clink. Clank.' This."

Both Rishoi and the returning champion responded incorrectly, leaving Rishoi with $5,400. But the other challenger correctly responsed "What is 'Think'?," leading to a $19,600 total and a win for the day.

Earlier this fall, Stephanie Jass of Milan enjoyed a record-setting run on the program: Her seven straight wins was the most successful run ever for a female contestant.

Locally, "Jeopardy!" airs at 7:30 p.m. weeknights on WDIV, channel 4 in Detroit.
