‘Jeopardy’: A stagehand from Portland competes in Wednesday episode

Not long after

Vancouver’s Yogesh Raut

won the 2025 edition of “Jeopardy Masters,” another player from the Northwest is on tap to compete in the syndicated

“Jeopardy!”

Rob Forrester, a stagehand from Portland, will join in the “Jeopardy!” episode that airs Wednesday, June 11, fellow contestants Matt Massie, an attorney originally from South Charleston, West Virginia; and Jan Zimmerman, a retired elementary school music teacher from Newark, Delaware.

Massie is the returning champion, with previous one-day winnings of $30,000.

While the syndicated “Jeopardy!” ordinarily airs at 7 p.m. weeknights on KATU, tonight’s episode will be delayed because of the 2025 NBA Finals game 3, which airs from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Tonight’s “Jeopardy!” is scheduled to air from 10 to 10:30 p.m. on KATU.
