Chevy Chase Attorney Wins 'Jeopardy!'
Rachel Gordon of Chevy Chase won Tuesday night's quiz show.
Update, Tuesday, June 4, 9:30 p.m.: Chevy Chase's own Rachel Gordon, an attorney, won Tuesday's Jeopardy! game, according to FickleFame.com.
Her opponents, J. Tarter-Fox and David Moore, seemed to be doing better than Gordon for most of the show. Going into the final Jeopardy! question, "David [was] in the lead with $21,600. J was next with $20,000 and Rachel was in third place with $6,200," FickleFame.com reported.
But that final question was where Gordon really shone. Its answer was "Who is (Stephen) Hawking?" and only Gordon got it right. She bet $1,200 and finished with $7,400.
