Trump Makes Final “Jeopardy!” Appearance Before Taking Office

President-elect drops in for one last game on favorite quiz show days before putting entire country in double, even triple jeopardy

Alex Trebek welcomed Donald Trump for his 43rd and final appearance on the hit game show before he becomes the leader of the free world on January 20th.

President-Elect Donald J. Trump has made over 40 appearances on Jeopardy! since the syndicated program first aired in 1984.

Last week, Mr. Trump taped his 43rd and final appearance on America’s Favorite Quiz Show before assuming the presidency. For security reasons, he was the only contestant on the Jeopardy! panel, which only nominally improved his chances of winning despite hints from long-time host Alex Trebek.

Here’s a portion of the transcript of the show, set to air Monday:

Alex Trebek: Mr. President-Elect, so honored to have you with us today. Without further ado, here are your six categories: Famous Presidents, Women’s Parts, Irrevocable Treaties, Name That U.S. State, Russia, and finally, Greatest Golfers. Mr. Trump…let’s play Jeopardy!

Donald J. Trump: Thank you, Alex, I’ll take Greatest Golfers for $200.

AT: The answer is, He won the 1948 Masters Tournament as the 12th wearer of the Green Jacket.
