Willy Wonka's Mike Teavee was on Jeopardy! and didn't mention his chocolate adventure
Jeopardy! fans are well-versed in what makes for a good anecdote during the contestant introductions, since we’ve all suffered through too many boring stories about how someone’s spouse proposed in a weird way or how they’re a teacher and they like to play Jeopardy! with the kids in their class, but one contestant on the show this week actually chose not to share a legitimately good anecdote. As reported by USA Today, a man named Paris Themmen took his time in regular “awkward chat with Alex Trebek” segment to explain that he’s an “entrepreneur” and an “avid backpacker” who has hiked in six contestants, which is fine, but he neglected to mention that he also played Mike Teavee in Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory.
