"We're also hoping to become the first-ever couple to have been married first and then gone on to both beJeopardy!champions, so some fun history is at stake," he revealed, later adding, "Tune in, root me on and laugh at some of my almost-certain-to-occur dumb answers. And thank you, as always, for all your love and support." The now-real estate agent cited his wife's success as preparation for his own part in the competition during an interview withhis local newspaper. "I've gotten to practice against the Michael Jordan of trivia every day of my life for the last 15 years, and that is an advantage that nobody else in the world has, because I'm the only person who's lucky enough to be married to Susan," he gushed. "I was always a dork. In elementary school, I would memorize the state and world capitals and the arithmetic tables." The PEOPLE Puzzler crossword is here! How quickly can you solve it? Play now!
