Mike Teavee was a Jeopardy contestant today

[fushingfeef]

I was watching Jeopardy today and they said the contestant's name, Paris Themmen, and I said to my wife, "Hey, that's the kid who played Mikek Teavee in the original Willy Wonka movie!" I don't think she really believed me until I Googled his name and showed her. The funny thing is that they never mentioned his acting career, they just said he was an entrepreneur from northern California.

Willy Wonka: There, see. Completely unharmed.
Mrs. Teavee: You call that unharmed?

Spoiler

He put up a good fight, particularly in the first round, but in Double Jeopardy he couldn't ring in before the champ and missed a few key opportunities.
