Knowing the chairman of the board can now win you some money. An episode of the most popular trivia show of all time, Jeopardy!, featured a question in which Vince McMahon was the answer.
WWE.com has posted a story regarding the question, along with the context:
In a proud moment for members of the WWE Universe, the WWE Chairman was featured as an $800 question in the “Promotion” category, after Alex Trebek posed, “This billionaire wrestling promoter has owned what’s now the WWE since 1982.” Sadly, it wasn’t a Daily Double, but it wasn’t long before the question was met with an answer and Trebek’s most sought-after response: “correct.”
