Couple who met as Jeopardy! competitors share their love story, thanking Alex Trebek
When Emily and Stacy Cloyd met for the first time, back in 2010, they discovered they had much in common: Both had gone to school at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and were about to both reside in Washington, D.C. But the most remarkable thing about their first meeting was that it happened while both were auditioning to be contestants on Jeopardy! — and that it led not only to the two women facing off on an episode the TV game show, but falling in love, and getting married.
At the in-person audition, the other J! hopefuls were just as nervous / excited as I was, the test game gave me an idea of what it was like to use the buzzer, and the J! contestant coordinators made everyone feel like they had a personal cheerleading section. — Emily Therese Cloyd 🏳️🌈🌻🥾🚣♀️ January 8, 2020 She didn’t recognize me. Or maybe she did, once I said I’d briefly met her at the audition. I think that she was being nice. She introduced herself as Stacy.
Over the next couple of months, Stacy and I were in occasional contact as things came together for the viewing party. Although we’d taped in mid-January, the episode didn’t actually air until the end of March. Two years after the taping, Emily and Stacy were engaged. And they didn’t neglect to invite the man that played a part in bringing them together.
