Thursday-Friday 1/23-1/24/2025 Jeopardy! Fashion Recap
Will Yancey vs Drew Goins vs. Mehal Shah
Will Yancey
a lecturer of history from Banquete, TX
Will has the best jackets! (We won’t mention the quarter zip.) I think my favorite combo of his is tonight’s pink shirt and light blue jacket, although the lavender jacket from his original appearance is also my favorite. And the dark burgundy suede one… ok they are just all my favorite!
Drew Goins
a journalist from Honolulu, HI
Drew dressed up Thursday in a suit and tie! He seems to save his suit jackets for a special occasion, as I also have him wearing a jacket in the Second Chance finals.
I enjoyed Friday’s outfit with its juxtaposition of fun and formality. (And if you watch the ending credits, you may notice Drew enthusiastically shedding his jacket as soon as the game ends.)
Mehal Shah
a software engineer from Seattle, WA
I really like the color of Mehal’s Thursday sweater and his Friday shirt! It is similar in color to Paul Claussen’s shirt earlier in the tournament.
Ken Jennings
Ken is wearing a lavender plaid shirt tonight! He added a few plaid/checkered shirts into his wardrobe recently, which is exciting! I remember his stylist saying he had trouble finding patterned shirts that worked on camera.
This shirt design is subtle with the background and the pattern being very close in color. I think the camera issue happens more when the background is light and the pattern is dark (like navy lines on a white shirt) or vice versa.) I’m happy to see the wardrobe department is always adding small changes to keep Ken’s wardrobe interesting while also staying close to what is becoming his iconic style of navy or grey suits and a spectrum of ties from pink to red to purple to blue.

If you’re planning to take the Anytime Test soon, I have some resources for you!
Jeopardy has a Youtube Playlist with previous contestant tests from 2017-2020. I recently put some time into creating this spreadsheet to grade my answers and check my score while practicing with those videos. Feel free to make a copy and use it for yourself! There is a separate tab for each video test.
watch the test video with the spreadsheet side-by-side
type your answers into the spreadsheet
when you're done, unhide the answer column
check the boxes for correct answers
the sheet will calculate your score (35+ is widely rumored to be "passing")
