Jason Singer, a journalist-turned-real estate agent, is set to appear on the popular game show 'Jeopardy!' on July 1, with a unique goal in mind - to become the first-ever husband and wife winners of the show.
Singer's wife, Susan McMillan, won the show in 2021, taking home a whopping $35,600. If Singer emerges victorious, they will make history as the first married couple to achieve this feat.
"We're also hoping to become the first-ever couple to have been married first and then gone on to both be 'Jeopardy!' champions, so some fun history is at stake," Singer said, expressing his excitement about the opportunity.
The couple, who met while working as journalists at the Sandusky Register, have been preparing for this moment for years. They bonded over their love for 'Jeopardy!' and even created flashcards and an online database to store answers to questions they didn't know.
When McMillan got the opportunity to appear on the show in 2021, Singer couldn't attend in person due to COVID-19 restrictions. However, he was inspired by her success and has been preparing even harder for his own turn.
"The experience I had made him want to prepare even harder, to have no gaps in his game," McMillan said, teasing her husband's determination.
'Jeopardy!' airs weeknights on ABC. Tune in to see if Jason Singer can make history alongside his wife Susan McMillan.
