Kristen Jolley is taping shows this week for the latest collegiate competition on the TV quiz show, which will air in early May.
Kristen Jolley spent the weekend traveling to California for her chance to be on Jeopardy. It's time once again for two weeks of collegiate competition on the quiz show hosted by Alex Trebek, and the Johns Creek resident will be part of the taping of episodes today and Tuesday. But while she will know how she does, the rest of us have to wait until those episodes start airing on May 6.
