Marc Muneal, assistant professor of English at Gordon State College in Barnesville has been picked to compete on Jeopardy.
The show will air at 7:30 p.m. Monday.
Muneal has been watching the show since he was 11 or 12. After two unsuccessful auditions, his third landed him a spot on the episode airing Monday, according to gordonstate.edu.
The episode was recorded in August and Muneal said he didn’t have time to prepare for the audition and went into it without studying, according to the school’s website.
Of the nearly 100,000 people who take the qualifying test each year, only 400 end up being contestants, Muneal told Gordon State.
Muneal has been teaching at Gordon State since 2010. He received his Ph. D. from Emory University.
