He had the job for just nine days.

Joshua Saak is a Boise Traffic Engineer and is using his smarts to get him some serious dough on the show.

If you're lucky, and smart enough to make it onto the game show Jeopardy!, apparently you are warned in advance that there five wagers you are forbidden to make.

But be ready to cry.

In the wake of the loss of the great Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek, we take a look at three of Idaho's contestants you may actually know, who made it on the show.

Alex Trebek, the beloved host of Jeopardy!, has died following a battle with pancreatic cancer.

Idaho may not be the most popular state in the nation and some people don't actually know where we are or that we are not the same state as Ohio or Iowa.

He's 'somebody I have looked up to my whole life.'

The host says his “numbers went south��� following a switch to immunotherapy.

Alex Trebek is a cultural institution, a beacon of knowledge and grace under pressure. Everyone loves him. Which is why it’s always amusing to watch the unflappable host of Jeopardy say silly words and phrases in that reliable deadpan of his. A recent episode of the immortal game show saw him forced to say the name “Turd Ferguson,” which should amuse anyone with a passing knowledge of modern comedy.

If we ever get on 'Jeopardy!' but don't know the final answer, we hope we have the guts (and charm) to go out like Ari here.

Longtime 'Jeopardy' host Alex Trebek has a way with words ... or, at least, as Conan O'Brien imagines it, he has a way with saying his words. Trebek's consistent cadence makes it incredibly easy for Conan to splice together the game-show host's clues into a parody video of absolute gibberish, accompanied by a pack of slack-jawed contestants. Funny, right?
