Pasadena Man Draws on Knowledge of Art and Wildlife in ‘Jeopardy!’ Win

A Pasadena man came up victorious on “Jeopardy!” last week after naming a fish contained in a sculpture in a Canadian city.

The clue on the Sept. 24 episode of the popular game show read “Revelstoke, British Columbia, on the Columbia River has a sculpture of a sturgeon with this other fish,” reported the Salmon Arm Observer. Salmon Arm is also located in the province of British Columbia.

It was the final clue in round two, under a category labeled “Sculpture.”

Contestant Sameer Gandhi, a writer from Pasadena, correctly answered “salmon.”

Gandhi received $1,200 for the clue, bumping his balance from $10,000 to $11,200 going into Final Jeopardy.

Gandhi ended up winning the game with a total of $22,200. He was competing against Sara Tayyar and returning champion Robert Kaine, the Observer reported.
