Posted Jan 10, 2024
A UNC sophomore came from behind in dramatic fashion to win on Jeopardy on Tuesday night. It was Rotimi Kukoyi's second time on Jeopardy. He was invited back to participate in a second chance tournament with other near winners. Kukoyi was first on Jeopardy nearly six years ago when he competed in the Teen Tournament as a ninth-grader.
