Jeopardy! began another tournament, and fan-favorite alum Sam Buttrey is back with another hilarious behind-the-scenes video. This time around, he interviewed the Jeopardy! Invitational Tournament (Jit) contestants. “Sam Buttrey and his tiny mic are taking on the Jeopardy! Invitational Tournament. Watch to see what the players had to say about how they prepared and if they can give a ‘Bring It!’ Sam likes,” read the Jeopardy! Instagram caption on February 6. “Hi Jeopardy! fans, it’s your favorite, or maybe top five former champion, San Buttrey here,” he said in the video. “I must be legit because they have me back at the Jit.” Buttrey, 2021 Professor’s Tournament Winner, arrived at the backstage door.
