While two members of the Madison Curling Club are representing at the Winter Olympics in Pyongchang<\/a>, another is representing in a slightly different competition.<\/p>\n

Madison\u2019s own Dom Granello will make his Jeopardy!<\/em> debut on Monday afternoon (4:30 p.m., NBC 15). The 25-year-old filmed his segment in the fall, after acing his audition for the long-running show in Chicago in the form of a written test and mock version of the TV game.<\/p>\n

But in an interview<\/a> with the Wisconsin State Journal<\/em>, Granello admits the road to Alex Trebek\u2019s house was a difficult one. He\u2019d taken the show\u2019s preliminary online test for candidates each of the past five years before finally being called in for an in-person audition in 2017. And even that took hours of practice playing along to the show.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would even stand up and click on a pen, right, as though I was really there at the podium,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

But as previously stated, trivia isn\u2019t Granello\u2019s only talent. The Texas transplant is also a member of the Madison Curling Club, which is enjoying unprecedented notoriety right now. In addition to Granello shouting them out from the Jeopardy! <\/em>podium, McFarland sister and brother and sister Becca and Matt Hamilton are currently competing<\/a> for Team U.S.A. in the Winter Games.<\/span>\n

Update:<\/em>\u00a0Granello was competitive but finished in third place<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
