Austin “Buzzy” Cohen
Music executive, Buzzy won $164,603 over his 9 episode streak on the show. Many fans loved him for his witty banter with Trebek. Of course, his ‘Final Jeopardy’ answer, “What is, see you tomorrow, Trebek?,” gave SNL fans delight for referencing the Will Ferrell Jeopardy! parody skit. Anyway, with his money he planned to start a college fund for his child.
Richard Cordray
Another 5-time champ, Cordray won $45,3030, which he used for taxes, a new car and paying his law school debt. Also he had to turn down the $5,000 from the Battle of the Decades Tournament. No, it wasn’t for anything scandalous. Actually, since he was a federal employee, he turned down the prize money. See, it’s not always about the money?
