Re: The most famous person you met (and story )?
Alex Trebek. I was on Jeopardy in 1997 (one-day champ). You know how the contestants and Alex chat amongst themselves during the closing credits? He did actually talk with us, rather than telling us, "Just look like you're talking for the cameras." On the first day, during this segment he sympathized with one of the losers, saying, "I know how you feel, you know, you're trying to get some points, but you're like, 'S---, I just can't make any headway.'" Hearing the usually G-rated Alex Trebek drop any curse has to take a close second behind the actual win as highlights of the trip go.
