The renowned quiz show will feature Wohl, a teacher at Syosset High School in Syosset, on an episode scheduled to air on Wednesday, Feb. 8.
Wohl can be seen grinning broadly in a promotional photo next to host Ken Jennings.
The Forest Hills, Queens resident and recent Stanford University graduate described the entire event as “wonderful, thrilling all around, so adrenaline-producing that I feel like I barely remember it,” according to Daily Voice.
He stated his favourite part was how their “green room” resembled the Wheel of Fortune set.
“There was a tarp over the wheel with a sign with huge capital letters saying DO NOT TOUCH OR UNCOVER WHEEL UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES,” Wohl said.
When asked whether he had any advice for upcoming competitors, Wohl responded that the buzzer is everything.
“Most contestants know most of the answers. It’s making sure you time the buzzer right that makes the most difference I think,” he said.
“Also, unless it’s a category you are extremely uneasy about, be bold on Daily Double wagers! There’s a reason that analytically minded players are always ‘hunting’ for the Daily Doubles. They make or break the game more often than not.”
Now in its 39th season, Jeopardy! is the top-rated quiz show with a weekly audience of over 20 million viewers. Hosting duties are split between Jennings and actress Mayim Bialik.
