There’s a new “Jeopardy” champ from Northeast Ohio.
And this one hails from Summit County.
Ryan Manton, who on the TV quiz show identifies himself as a system analyst from Columbus, has close ties to Greater Akron.
Manton is a 2011 graduate of Copley-Fairlawn schools.
He is on a four-game winning streak and so far has won $83,179 on the popular quiz show.
Manton credits honing his “Jeopardy” skills by his participation in a bar trivia league.
And his wife, Lauren, appeared once on “Jeopardy,” too, about three years ago.
When will Ryan Manton be on Jeopardy next?
In Greater Akron, “Jeopardy” airs at 7:30 p.m. on WOIO Channel 19 in Cleveland.
On Friday night, Manton will defend his streak against an executive director from Williamstown, Massachusetts, and a content manager from Riverside, Connecticut.
Who is the all-time ‘Jeopardy’ champ from Northeast Ohio?
Manton will have a ways to go before becoming the all-time “Jeopardy” champ to hail from Northeast Ohio.
Matt Amodio holds that title.
