Josh Saak is a Traffic Engineer for the city of Boise in his normal day to day routine. But currently, he holds the title of 2 day champion for everyone’s favorite quiz show!

Earning the chance to compete on Jeopardy is no simple task. It goes without saying that you need to be intelligent or at the very least, have knowledge of a wide range of topics. There is also a test you have to take and pass before you’re even considered for a spot on the highly coveted quiz show.

Josh Saak, a traffic engineer for the city of Boise has been toiling away for 10 years to get a slot on the stage and he’s finally made it. He is also currently the 2 day champion having amassed $46,800 in winnings.

Since the passing of Jeopardy host Alex Trebek, the show’s producers have been welcoming guest hosts in the hopes of finding a new and permanent host. So far it seems the fan favorites have been Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, former Jeopardy champion Ken Jennings, Mayim Bialik of Blossom and Big Bang Theory fame and CNN host Anderson Cooper.

The current host is Robin Roberts with Levar Burton and David Faber tapped for the coming weeks.
