NEW ORLEANS — We are excited for one of our co-workers here at WWL-TV; producer Ittai Sopher is the reigning champion on Jeopardy.
He says being on the show is a lifelong dream, and last night, he beat out two other contestants to win.
He correctly answered the final jeopardy question: "A 1931 charlie chaplin film and west coast bookstore -- open since 1953 both bear this name?"
Ittai answered, "What is City Lights?"
Ittai got a shoutout from CBS morning co-host Gayle King this morning. "You killed it, Ittai congratulations. Bravo," King said.
The episode was filmed a few weeks ago, but he could not tell us if he won.
We'll be watching to see how long he continues as champion.
"I am filled with so much gratitude, and I really just love you all!! Thank you for letting me into your living rooms, it means the world to me :) Thank you for everyone in my life who has made this possible!!," Ittai said in a tweet.
