If you’ve watched Jeopardy! at any point during the last week, than you’ve seen Grant DeYoung accumulating thousands of dollars over the course of four wins.
If you paid close attention to the game show, you may have noticed there’s something different about how DeYoung plays the game compared to his fellow contestants.
The grocery clerk from Arizona has been sitting in a chair!
Many took to social media to express their curiosity – and in some instances their annoyance – about DeYoung’s accommodation.
On Monday, producer Sarah Whitcomb Foss spoke about DeYoung’s arrangement for the show on the Inside Jeopardy! podcast.
“Fans have been noticing that Grant is sitting in a chair during his games,” she said. “This is something that we always offer to contestants.”
“We don’t ask why; it’s not our business,” she said, adding, “If you want a chair, we’ll give it to you.”
