CHESAPEAKE BEACH, Md. – Taylor Clagett, formerly from Chesapeake Beach and a graduate of DeMatha Catholic High School, will make his return to “Jeopardy!” tonight as he takes part in the Champion’s Wildcard game!
Clagett will face off against Justin White and Lisa Sriken.
Clagett secured his first win on the July 21, 2023, episode by facing returning champ Nik Berry, a teacher from Baltimore, and Ben Sasamoto. He then defeated Ian Foutz and Simona Fine during Monday’s game, bringing his two-day total to $31,800!
Unfortunately, on his third night, Clagett came up short against Andrew Knowles and Julie Sisson ending in third place after a controversial ending. He received a consolation prize of $1,000.
On his first episode, Clagett revealed to the host, Ken Jennings, that he intended to donate his earnings to a non-profit organization set up in honor of his late niece, Taylor Anne.
“Unfortunately, we lost my niece, Taylor Anne, to brain cancer last August,” Clagett told Jennings. “So, since that time, her mom, my sister, has set up a non-profit called the Taylor Anne Foundation. It’s an incredible cause, and if I win some money, I would love to contribute to that.”
Jennings responded by stating, “That would be great. Fighting Cancer with your winnings. Well done.”
If Clagett can earn some winning tonight, it is expected that he will once again donate the money to this great cause.
