The history teacher tells WNEM-TV 5 that he always dreamed of appearing on the show. In the past 13 years, he has made it to the show’s audition stage three times.
“It was my life’s dream,” Gulyas said. “I always wanted to be on game shows, even when I was little. As a fan of game shows, I wanted to see how well I would do on set compared to in my living room – because I’m pretty good in my living room!”

Gulyas is certainly not the first person from the Flint area to appear on Jeopardy and other national game shows.
Chuck Forrest is from Grand Blanc and appeared on Jeopardy in 1985. He is the player credited with creating the “Forrest Bounce”, a technique in which players reveal game clues in random order rather than to stick to one category and reveal clues in monetary value. order. The late Alex Trebek was known to dislike the technique, saying it disrupted the flow of the match.
