Hen Hud Teacher Back On Jeopardy Tonight For Champions Tournament

MONTROSE, NY — Francois Barcomb, a Hendrick Hudson High School physics teacher who won the "Jeopardy!" Teachers Tournament in May, will re-appear Thursday night for the finals of the Tournament of Champions.

Here's what the show had to say about it yesterday:

It all comes down to this. In the final two games of the 2019 Tournament of Champions, 32-game streaker James Holzhauer gets his chance to avenge his loss against Emma Boettcher, who’s more than ready for a rematch. But Teachers Tournament winner Francois Barcomb won’t go down without a fight. Don’t miss the biggest showdown yet, beginning tomorrow!

Back in May, Barcomb's students kept asking him if he was nervous. Now he's going for his third appearance.

"Defending your thesis is very similar to answering random questions on TV," the Ulster County resident said in May.
