CULVER CITY, CALIFORNIA: Each and every 'Jeopardy!' contestant has had unique ways of gearing up for their big night - the three rounds of gruesome gambling of trivia with prize money. But a contestant who was recently on the game show revealed her unconventional method of making it through.

Anji Nyquist won the episode that was aired on July 5, 2023, by turning the tables and coming out as the most unexpected victor. She also acknowledged that many fans had appreciated her good looks and had suggested that she open an OnlyFans account. 

Anji Nyquist's 'Jeopardy!' wisdom

The one-day champ from an episode that aired three weeks ago, Nyquist seems to have kept the spark alive as 'Jeopardy!' fans continue to interact with her. In an exclusive interview with The US Sun, the contestant revealed how she was able to be a returning champ for at least one day.

Nyquist said, "I made some flashcards of planets, I got a big kids' book on the presidents, classic literature, opera." As a big fan of the game show who has been following it for years, she also owned some of its board games which were part of her preparation material. "And I have a few old Jeopardy! board games, so I was going through the card decks of those with my boyfriend,” she continued, “Some of the same stuff keeps coming up, just with a different question. So I used those to practice."

Ken Jennings jokes about a career in OnlyFans

Nyquist has been remembered for more than just her impressive performance in trivia on 'Jeopardy!'. Many viewers admired her good looks and some even went on to suggest that she should consider making an OnlyFans account. Fox News ran a story about the same but many were shocked to see host Ken Jennings' picture used as the featured image. It unknowingly suggested that it was Jennings who was asked by the game show fans to start an account on the pornography website. 



 

The story came to be noticed by the host and he tweeted about it jokingly saying, "Let me stress that I haven’t made my decision yet." Nyquist went on to react to the tweet with the quote, "If @KenJennings does it, I’ll do it."
