Posted Jan 8, 2024
A Carolina sophomore got a second go at what’s typically a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Rotimi Kukoyi’s appearance as the youngest contestant in the Jeopardy! quiz show’s Second Chance Tournament will air Jan. 9, more than five years after he competed in the Teen Tournament as a ninth-grader. Kukoyi’s invitation to return was a long time coming. (UNC.edu)
