Jeopardy!Masterscontestant Andrew He is having a big week.
In addition to competing in the prestigiousJeopardy!Masterscompetition, he also welcomed a son.
In Monday night’s episode, hostKen Jenningsasked the new father about the family’s latest addition. “I have a newborn son,” He told Jennings. “Thanks to just everyone in the world, I guess, but especially theJeopardycrew.”
“I had the double blessing of going from being here on the stage to within 24 hours going with my partner and welcoming the arrival of our son,” He continued.
The new dad went on to shout out his wife, Sarah, dedicating his game to her: “I just want to say to Sarah, I love you so much. This is for you and I wouldn’t be anywhere near here if not for you. So I’m gonna have to bring something nice for you and everyone.”
