Jeopardy's Sam Buttrey Almost Did A Titanic Wreck Tour

"It sounds like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity..."

Today, the coast guard sadly confirmed that all five passengers are presumed dead after a "debris field" was found in the area.

If you're a Jeopardy fan, you'll recall Sam from the 2022 Professors Tournament where he became a fan favorite for his personality and for bearing a strong resemblance to Steve Martin.

Given the timing, Sam of course was not supposed to be on this exact submersible, but it is highly likely that it was a similar one run by OceanGate.

Ken concludes the anecdote by saying, "There's a joke here somewhere about a wedding and undersea wreckage."
