Verona Has A Jeopardy! Champion (He Serves In Local Government)

VERONA, NJ — A Verona’s Board of Adjustment member’s brainpower brought a different sort of pride to his community on Thursday when he became a Jeopardy! game show champion.

Verona’s Sean Sullivan, a financial advisor, managed to push his winnings to $18,000 before the Final Jeopardy answer was revealed, MyVeronaNJ reported.

Sullivan, a father of five, scored $15,000 during his appearance on the iconic trivia game show, and will compete again Friday, TAP Into Verona/Cedar Grove reported. The show airs at 7 p.m. on WABC-TV.
