Prisoner of Trebekistan: a decade in Jeopardy!

Trama

Welcome to a world where obscure information is crucial to survival, vast sums of cash are at stake, and milliseconds can change not just a game but the course of your life. Bob Harris's comic account of one man's unlikely journey gleefully explores triumph and failure, the nature of memory, and how knowledge itself can transform you in unpredictable ways--all against the backdrop of the most popular quiz show in history.
