Jakubowski described his participation in Jeopardy! as “a great experience.”

‘Ken Jennings and all the producers and crew were very kind to me about the novelty of having a Catholic priest on the show,’ he explained to Fox.

‘I hope I have left a positive impression of my community and the Church.

“The show airs at 3:30 where I live in Austin, so we had a viewing party at our parish school with our students and their parents; it was a lot of fun to share that with our parish.”
