West Islip Native Returns to "Jeopardy!" in Tournament of Champions

Dan McShane will compete against fellow past winners later this month.

Dan McShane will once again grace televisions across the nation in pursuit of another Jeopardy! title.

The West Islip native and St. Anthony's alum, who last year, returns to the trivia show later this month to compete for the Tournament of Champions title.

The 25-year-old will compete 14 fellow returning champs for a $250,000 grand prize in the tournament, which will air over two weeks beginning Feb. 13.

Upon learning he qualified for the tournament, McShane immediately began brushing up on his trivia, according to Newsday. “You have to think more,” he told the paper. “It’s a lot more obscure knowledge and you’re playing against much better opponents."

Fans can cheer on McShane at 7 p.m. on ABC.

You can thank all these POS politicians for the new gun legislation designed to make law abidingRead More citizens give up their second amendment rights out of sheer frustration and incontinence of owning a gun legally for increases in savage on citizen violence. This is only the beginning and in short time many New Yorker's will be forced to remain in their homes fearing one of these animals will make them their pray. I for one believe in the old adage, it's better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
