Will returning champion Tom Devlin score a three-peat? It was another night of trivia triumphs, wordplay, and massive wins on Jeopardy! as Devlin returned to defend his title.
On the Thursday, October 23, episode, the attorney from Washington, D.C., defended his title against poet and podcaster Elijah Perseus Blumov from Evanston, Illinois, and teacher Jack Tomlin from Lynchburg, Virginia. Devlin hoped to add to his already impressive bank, a two-day cash earnings of $43,199.
