Gautam Hans, director of Vanderbilt University Law School’s First Amendment Clinic, will compete on Jeopardy! Dec. 6 as part of the show’s inaugural “Professors Tournament,” the school reports. He will face off against Hester Blum, an English professor at Penn State University, and Gary Hollis, a chemistry professor at Roanoke College. A total of 15 college professors will participate. The champion will be determined in a showdown set for Dec. 17. Hans says he grew up watching the quiz show and shouting answers at the television. He even dressed up once as show host Alex Trebek for Halloween. In addition to being a trivia star, Hans makes ice cream and chronicles his creations on the Habeas Custard blog.
