........... when you become a clue on Jeopardy! And not just any Jeopardy question, either. Not even Double Jeopardy...... no..... this was the Final Jeopardy clue!

Who would have ever thought one of our own Tman-ers would make it to Prime Time?

Whatcha Talkin about
"willis"

I bet Mr. White.

Mr. Ken White17 is famous in my book!!!

That is awesome! How long before his bobble head is available?

Officially now that he's made Jeopardy, LOL.

You must preface your answer with the phrase "What is"......
Sorry snowy, you are disqualified.

He lets me call him "Mr. D". That is awesome and one of the only questions on that show I may have actually known the answer to.

What is the homestead act ! Congrats white that’s pretty cool to be an answer on jeopardy !

That’s pretty dang cool!

Apparantly you can still homestead in the Yukon.

Darn!!! Got the answer right and no money. That is my life a dollar short and day late.

Don't feel like the Lone Ranger Snowy. I didn't get paid either .

I think the answer they were looking for is "what is the homestead act?"

because the question didn't ask who even if you know who the last one was

Love it !

You didn’t learn about the Homestead act in school? Pretty big part of American history. Ended in Alaska in 1971 when ANCSA passed. I assume white had his filing in by then?

Thus why I said "the clue" as opposed to the answer to it......

LOL marten.... think he was just answering the question.... Jeopardy style.

White17, have you shared this story before? I had not remembered it but would enjoy reading it if you do.

Give us a short run down White!
