Arm wrestling Alex Trebek

posted Jan 14, 2016

Amelia Hershberger -- "a management analyst from Albany, New York" -- will be back on Jeopardy Thursday night going for her third win. (She's already racked up $37,000.)

But the "bizarrely strong" Hershberger has already come so close to the dream of so many who have ever watched Jeopardy: putting Alex Trebek in his place.

(Sure, Alex acted like he wasn't trying that hard... but we all know the truth.)
