POTENT POTABLES: The Time I Played Against Ken Jennings on Jeopardy
The world was saddened by the recent death of longtime Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek, who was a kind man and a total class act. I know this firsthand, because I actually appeared as a contestant on Jeopardy! myself once -- back in 2003! What's it like to be a contestant on this beloved game show? How did I get on? And did I win anything? Pour yourself a tall potent potable, sit back, and listen as I tell you all the details of this sordid skeleton in my closet. It's a HUMDINGER!

wonderhussy, wonder hussy, what it's like to be on jeopardy, what it's like to be a contestant on a game show, i lost on jeopardy, jeopardy story
Kool story!! Not only did you get to meet Alex Trebek, Alex Trebek had the privilege of meeting Wonder Hussey
Epic story. Much respect for anyone that got on jeopardy, let alone played against Ken Jennings
Epic indeed. One of her best, and that's saying something. In the last one you(Hussy) mention Huell Howser and in this one Alex Trebek... 2 of my favorite people of all time. That's 'AH-MAY-ZING'! :)
He crushed so many people's dreams lol
Ya ok , but what does Sara mean “ sausage fest “ ?
Hurl Howser by far...California gold.
a 1st class character
Alex, I'll take "Abandoned Mines" for $800
Haha! Very good!!
Bwaaahahahahahahahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣
We all know you are one sharp cookie.
And Yummier
And. Nuttier.
Such a great memory/story for you to share with us! You continue to crack me up! I like to think Alex & his wife watched you on youtube 17 yrs later & he commented...”I remember this gal... she was really charming on the show!”. You’re a winner to all of us Sara Jane❣️
For some reason, I wasn't surprised at all to hear you were on Jeopardy. I was surprised to hear that the great Ken Jennings also answered Lewis and Clark.
I could listen to your stories all day long...they definitely put a smile on my face..!!..😁💜💙💚💛🧡🧡❤
You’re a great storyteller!
Gosh Wonderhussy!! Is there anything you haven't done? Love hearing about your life 🤘👏
get married?
Unfortunately i can tell you one thing she hasn't done.
Well on one of her vids she may have been such, see the panty thief episode where she drove buy her pervious hovels in LasVagas.......
...settle down.

Alex, I'll take Wonderhussy for a thousand! You're the best! Now I can't wait to hear the stories about the other game shows you were on.
You really should write a book. I want to visit Nevada one day. I really love to visit through your lens. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us.
Just when I thought you couldn’t be more intriguing. Great story! Thanks for sharing
Great story! Rip Alex, he was a great guy. He visited us when I was deployed to Macedonia. I was on guard duty unfortunately and didn’t get a chance to see him. A bunch of my friends met him and said he was just an awesome guy. I gained a lot of respect for him that he supported the troops and took the time to travel across the world to visit us.
5ft 3 of perfection of which I could never get tired of hearing your thoughts and stories! Probably why I subscribed and do not regret it! Lot's of love from BC Canada. Hope you never stop doing videos 🤗 like the earrings 👀
Oh please show us that cd. It's a worthy trip down memory lane.
I used to have the jeopardy theme song on my answering machine( yeah that long ago)
I remember that "Weird Al" Yankovic song "I Lost on Jeopardy"
That's actually a cover of a 70s disco song
@@ACEDIAMOND666 Not a cover, a parody.
If anyone could get away with self parody, it's Al.
great story thanks for sharing. I grew up in Hollywood I worked for several stars myself. My grandmother was a seamstress for Paramount Studios and she had some good stories to tell.
There is A difference between Knowledge and wisdom. You have become wise, and you wear the gift well..
Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad
Yeah, back in the day, you passed all the tests for TV, "your cute, your likeable, and you are personable" everything a teenage boy needs to be mesmerized by... PUT HER ON TV...
But you are so much more, you are a wonderful spirit...
Sarah, you need to find that CD of you on Jeopardy (16:40) and post it!!
Hear, Hear,. YEET, YEET...
That plaid school girl mini skirt would have worked on me.
I'm sure you'd look divine wearing it.
Anybody got the video of it?
Specialty at Burningman
You really amaze me sometimes with the things you know about, so I am not surprised you made it on the show, but I'm sure they wanted you on the show, too. 😉 (but I'm biased)
What a great story! Thanks so much for sharing it with us! Patiently waiting for the rest of the chapters in WH's life!
Spanky-Spanky is the most 🔥 🤣🤣If that doesn't scream 80's themed high-school raunch I don't know what is. Love it!!
We demand to see the Jeopardy video!!
even with 3 decades, you are still a rare contestant. Getting drunk for the show is mind boggling.. LOL
Oh great! Now I'm humming "spanky spanky" in some weird German accent..
Btw my dad, sister and I were in the Gong Show on the late 1970s. 😂 Fun times.
I love Jeopardy. And will miss Alex. But that is one hell of a good story .Wow Ken Jennings. I too heard he might get the gig. Can't wait to hear your other game show experiences. You kick ass Wonderhussy!
Only You Sarah Jane would drink and go on the show!!! Way to go!!!! Take Care and Stay Safe Wonderhussy!!!
Your understated laugh you do is almost more than I can handle. You are amazing!
I love hearing all this stuff you have done
What a great story! Thank you sooooo much for sharing!!💕👍
"Fakebook" Funny.
I believe you 100% because you are brilliant!!!
I used to love to read your blog but hearing you tell your stories is the clear choice.
I just watched your episode on Pluto TV and you didn’t have much of a chance since you played against Ken Jennings. You were so close to finding the daily double. What a crazy episode!
Pete Rose... When my Wife worked at Stadium Hilton Hotel back in the 80's he asked her out so many times I Lost Count. He didn't know her mother worked there too!
What a great story! You are one amazing Wonderhussy!
What a great story! My Mom and Dad watched Jeopardy during Ken’s run, so they surely saw you! I’ll bet they liked you. ❤️ Thanks for sharing this interesting memory! 📚📚⏳⏱⁉️
I saw her for sure Ken was kicking butt back then!
What a great story teller! I laughed so much! Just what I needed. Thanks W.H.
Wonderhussy is the Star.
And yes the records are there to prove it Sarah a Photographer from NV. Cathy a Vet from MI. and Ken from UT.
I watched Jeopardy back then! I probably watched you get swatted away by that Jeopardy monster Jennings. RIP Alex.
Ken was a beast 💪
Your story telling charm and humor is amazing. More stories, please. Love your adventures.
Boy I would love for you to be in politics right now....honest, creative and beautiful. Wonderful story....beautifully told.. Bravo Sara!
I saw the Spanky Spanky video! I recognized you as the Teacher in the green dress. Right? 😂😂
Love your stories Sarah!
The pic of you and Trebek is priceless, so to speak. Love the hair!
Just watched this again. You are my Shero!! I love,love,love this story!!
Thanks for posting into history of Wonderhussy...
Awesome! Great punch line about your answer and Ken’s being the same!! So funny!
Great story! I love the way you're able to talk with minimal edits! Very impressive!
Very sad to loose Alex. RIP ALEX! Thanks for sharing. Take care and God bless you all.
What a great story! Thanks for sharing it.
The song was a motown song "Jimmy Mack".
This is so weird. This is the second video, I've seen of yours. I have no idea, who you are. But I'm a huge Jeopardy fan. The second you talked about the swimming pools, I remembered your interview. When you recalled final Jeopardy, I remembered it immediately. What was that, 18 years ago? At that time, I had just finished a new, and very popular biography on John Adams, and was screaming at the t.v. "Jefferson, Adams, Jefferson, Adams." They were rivals forever, and mended fences, later in life. I'm so happy, you got to meet Alex.. You scratched off one of my "bucket list moments", I'll be following you. Thanks for the memories.
Omg!!! Your life girl!!! I think I remember that episode! 😂
Absolutely amazing story. You are always entertaining.
Thanks 😊
I Always enjoy your stories
That was a wonderful story, Sarah Jane!
Thanks!
(ps: The Spanky Spanky video was hilarious! 😂 )
Big fan of Jeopardy! Big fan of Wonderhussy!
That story was epic!!!! Can't wait to hear another one. 😃
You are quite the unforgettable character what a great story you tell it so well you made my week thanks thank you Miss hussy
Oh that was a good one! And what a combination of beauty and humor! You always bring a smile to my face, but I had some good hearty laughs hearing this, cool story.
You keep calling it a "Seedy Motel in No Hollywood", like they have any other kind in NoHo
Oh man, I really want to see that Jeopardy episode !
What a story! Your honesty is so cool :)
I loved the story can’t wait for the next one.
Beautiful voice when open the pipes!!👍👍👍👍
I love the term, "Sausage Fest". You cracked me laugh. I searched for old episodes of Jeopardy with Ken Jennings from 2003, but only found a few, and none that you might have been in.
I watched the "Spanky Spanky" video, IN IT'S ENTIRETY! Another item checked off on my bucket list.
In 2002 I went to the valley auto mall and tried out for wheel of fortune, and after several rounds of auditions, I made it onto the show. I too failed and received $1000 consolation prize. I've still got my name tag and all my paperwork to this day.
you never stop to amaze me.
Thanks for the great story WH; really enjoyed that!
What a great experience thanks for sharing your great story
Every time I watch one of your videos I'm entertained. Toooo fun ^.^
Keep doing what you are doing I love watching all your videos
Thanks for sharing your memories with us.
Spank you for telling us the Jeopardy story.
many bravos for all you do !!.
That is awesome! I absolutely love your stories from the past! You are a great storyteller! Please keep making videos about your past adventures in life! The jeopardy episode was 4573.
thanks for relating your meeting of Alex, sorry to hear you came in third! at least you had the opportunity and experience ! virtual hug and smooch for YOU!
I absolutely love Alex Trebek and Jeopardy! I could def win on Wheel of Fortune easier than Jeopardy unless the category is Potent Potables! I know my DRANKS! Excellent upload Wonderhussy! 😉🍸🍹🍺🍷 CLINK! 🍻💜💖
Btw..Jimmy Mack by Martha Reeves and The Vandellas
I actually remember that Jeopardy contest and Alex mentioning your pool hopping. Too funny!
By the way, that photo is adorable 👍
Wow great story !
You have great stories. Love to listen to you.
That was a cool Doo you sported that day...and too, a very interesting story. Thanks a lot...you make it so much fun.
Those heart earings are the coolest in your collection
Sweet Hussy, You are always my Champion!
THAT was an interesting story! Thanks for sharing!
OMG that WAS you in the Dick N Jayne Spanky! Spanky! music video. You were terrific Sarah.
At least you got to meet Alex! It's my dream to go on Jeopardy! Or shall I saw be smart enough to go on Jeopardy! I remember when Ken Jennings was busy with his reign on the program, so I probably saw you!
Petition for Sarah to put up the episode of Jeopardy!
Great story. Thank you for sharing it.
Great story thank you for sharing
Great story. I laughed a lot. We all will miss Alex Trebek.
That they called you to L.A. so fast reinforces your theory about passing test phase II
That’s a great story! So awesome you played against Ken Jennings.
Very nice stroll down memory lane. When I used to live in Las Vegas (2005 to 2009), I believe the band you were in performed at a Rock and Roll Wine event that I was at (I used to go to most of them with a group of friends). I remember the spank song being performed anyway. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for sharing that with us so cool
