Speaking with TV Insider, he shared that he had received some sage advice from Jeopardy legend James Holzhauer. What was his advice? Kids encyclopedias. He shared, “In most Jeopardy! games, you only need to know the kind of top-level information about something, and kids’ encyclopedias have way more information than you would give them credit for, too.”
Drew Goins Doesn’t Have Anymore Bad Blood
For his first go at the show, Drew Goins revealed his strategy was filled with intense studying. He shared, “I did a lot of studying. A friend who had been on the show recommended this really excellent cultural reference dictionary. That’s kind of everything an American needs to know to be well-spoken at a smart person dinner party. There’s sections on the Bible, mythology, the arts, world history, American history, Shakespeare, all of this stuff that recurs over and over again on Jeopardy!”
For this second stint, he hit the books again. He revealed, “I definitely branched out more. There were some subjects that I felt weak on that I really wanted to shore up, like some movie history and a lot of pop culture before I was born. Movies, music, especially mid-century TV, that sort of thing, which was really hard for me. I just studied more.
