Super champion Mattea Roach felt compelled to let people know how the “Jeopardy!” family rallied by their side during “Jeopardy! Masters,” since her father died during the show's taping.
."As Ken said, as a dad I’d be incredibly proud of their accomplishments. My condolences to Mattea. It is very hard.“I wanted to acknowledge my dad in the context of tonight’s game firstly bc he was the subject of the first ever contestant anecdote I ever told on Jeopardy,” they . “My thought had been that if I only ever got 30 seconds of time to talk on the show, I wanted it to be about him.
Roach said seven episodes of “Jeopardy! Masters” had been taped before he died, with three more taking place after his death. Roach also said their dad got to watch the fourth episode in the studio. “I’ll say this on TV tonight but I want to express it again here — I was at the set of Jeopardy when my dad died,” they “Short of being at home with family, I cannot imagine a better place to be when receiving such horrific news.”
Roach will continue their run on"Jeopardy! Masters" during the finals that take place May 24 at 8 p.m. ET.
