Former city man, reporter to be on 'Jeopardy!'

SANDUSKY — A former Sandusky resident and one-time Register reporter will compete in an upcoming episode of "Jeopardy!" airing on Tuesday. In Sandusky's TV market, viewers can check out Jason Singer's performance at 7:30 p.m. on CBS affiliates. Depending on location, it could be Cleveland's WOIO 19 or Toledo's WTOL-TV 11. "This has been a multi-year dream in the making, and I'd like to be invited back one day, so please tune in and let's set some viewership records," said Singer, who's a real estate agent today. Singer is following the lead of his wife, Susan McMillan, who competed on the show a few years ago. McMillan was also a former reporter for the Register and Sanduskian. McMillan won $35,000 and came out victorious during her two-episode run in 2021. During the COVID-19 pandemic era, Singer couldn't attend in person but rooted for McMillan at their home in Maine, said Singer, who worked at the Register from 2008 to 2011 with McMillan. McMillan and Singer watch "Jeopardy!" for many reasons. In no particular order, they're trivia diehards — often hosting game nights with friends — it's a bonding activity, and they can broaden their mindsets with interesting nuggets of information. Because of a non-disclosure agreement each contestant signs, preventing spoilers from leaking out, Singer couldn't reveal any results. "Tune in, root me on and laugh at some of my almost-certain-to-occur dumb answers. And thank you, as always, for all your love and support." Editor's note: This story has been updated.
