Arthur Chu, legend, leaves behind massive shoes for future competitors to fill. The third-winningest Jeopardy! competitor bowed out last night, opening up the field for similarly eager masters of trivia.

At the risk of turning our illustrious website into some sort of odd Jeopardy! blog, we’re happy to announce another Northeast Ohio player beginning his run tonight. North Royalton High School history teacher Matt Kish will appear on the show, which airs at 7:30 p.m. on WOIO.

Our fine greater Cleveland area treated Chu as a local hero; it’s time now to double down on support for those bringing the gold back home.

#TeamKish is now.

The game show – created by Merv Griffin – has been chugging along since March 1964…..though, he credits his wife with the idea of giving contestants the answers (instead of a typical question and answer).
