[autotag]Taylor Clagett[/autotag] had to fight to win on his first “Jeopardy!” episode. On his second episode as the returning champion, the Notre Dame men’s lacrosse alumnus didn’t have to break a sweat. Clagett had the game wrapped up heading into Final Jeopardy! and earned his second victory to bring his total winnings to $31,800.
Clagett pulled away in the latter half of the Jeopardy! round and never looked back. He hit both Daily Doubles in Double Jeopardy! while possessing a lead large enough that he could wager $100 on both. It’s unknown whether he was just trying to protect his lead or if he was just unsure of his knowledge about musical works and running mates of losing presidential nominees. Either way, he missed them both, but it hardly mattered.
During Clagett’s in-game interview with host Ken Jennings, he gave some insight into his plans for his winnings. He revealed that he will donate to the Taylor Anne Foundation, who was founded after his 7-year-old niece died of brain cancer in 2022. You can learn about the foundation and how you yourself can donate here.
