‘Jeopardy!’ Player Makes Heartfelt Plea After Tragedy
A Jeopardy! contestant just made a heartfelt plea to the world after a horrible tragedy. Rather than use his platform to share who he was and what he liked to do in his spare time, he opted otherwise. So, what did he say and what was his plea for? Keep reading for more details.
Jeopardy! Player Makes Heartfelt Plea After Tragedy
When Ken Jennings comes back from the first commercial break on Jeopardy!, he takes the time to get to know the contestants. He usually brings up fun facts or interesting stories about them. The audience gets a sense of why they are on the show and it is often relatable or fascinating. This time, a contestant opted to share a very deep and heartfelt story with Ken and the audience. He then turned it into a plea which he hoped could further change his life. It was more than a game, it was an honor.
According to The Sun, Steven Czekala was detailing how he had been in an accident when he was headed to Indiana over the summer. He has some athletic friends so he had gone to cheer them on:
“Yes, I have some friends who were competing in the Olympic Trials this summer in Indianapolis for swimming.”
Unfortunately, what was supposed to be a good time turned terrifying when Steven, a retired dentist, ended up hurting himself:
“On my way to the venue, my scooter fell apart and I fell and broke my collarbone. Immediately a family stopped, put me in the car and drove me straight to the hospital emergency room.”
Once they got him to the hospital and he was safe, they all but vanished and he never got their contact information. However, Steven did learn of their love for the game show so he sent out a plea:
“And they said that they watch Jeopardy! And so to my Hoosiers good samaritans out there, thank you so much for the kindness you extended me. I’m on the Alex Trebek stage now!”
He seemed hopeful that they were watching and maybe could reconnect. Or, they would see him and know how grateful he was for saving his life.
