Newfoundland, living in Toronto, will be among the competitors in Jeopardy! later this month.
Peggy Gibbons of Mount Pearl has lived in Toronto for the past 21 years, but returns at least twice a year and still considers Newfoundland her home.
Gibbons says that after three auditions she finally got the call from Jeopardy! producers in the spring, realizing the dream of a lifetime to compete in the show.
She calls the whole experience “surreal.”
Gibbons says the presence of former host Alex Trebeck can be felt on set and he is fondly remembered by the crew, who often mention him. Gibbons says one of the highlights of the show is the meeting with host Maim Bialik.
“She was beautiful,” Gibbons said. “She’s so in love she really loves being there.”
The appearance of Gibbons will be broadcast on Wednesday, June 15.
