Former Jeopardy! champ hosted his own category
On Sunday, October 23rd broadcast of Celebrity Jeopardy!, the champ chilled out in his ride. Ryan Long wore a green Philadelphia Eagles jersey. He looked cool as a cucumber as he gave the clues to his own category. Viewers were impressed and happy to see him on the celebrity spinoff series.
Host Mayim Bialik introduced him to the contestants and viewers at home. Ryan Long made an impression on fans during his long run in Season 38 of Jeopardy!. She revealed: “Around Philly with Ryan Long. Here’s Ryan!”
Ryan showed off his new goatee and shaved head. Some fans may not have recognized him because of his new look. He drove around his hometown as he shared the clues. He was given viewers the sights and sounds of Philadelphia.

The answer to that clue was the Liberty Bell. In another clue, Ryan said: “It’s important to sample the local cuisine. We’ll go to Pat’s which says it’s created this Philly sandwich then across the street to Ginos, a formidable competitor.”
On Twitter, Ryan Long admitted that he was “nervous” about his appearance. He wasn’t sure that they would actually feature it in the episode. Ryan thanked the game show for having him host the category. This was a shock for those who weren’t watching the regular episodes of Jeopardy!
I'm still floored that they let me tape in my jersey. So cool. Thank you to @Jeopardy for allowing me to host a category and making me feel comfortable while doing so. Ya boy was nervous, not gonna lie! #jeopardy #philly #FlyEaglesFly
