A Michigan woman will take a spot on the 'Jeopardy' stage tonight, in an attempt to defeat two contestants from California.

Laura Portwood-Stacer is an author and editor, originally from Livonia, Michigan. Ironically she recently moved to Los Angeles, which means all three of tonight's contestants on the long-running game show currently reside in the Golden State.

Tonight's competition is the last to be hosted by the show's Executive Producer, Mike Richards, pictured above. Beginning Monday (3/8), Journalist Katie Couric will sit behind the lectern which was occupied by Alex Trebek for nearly 37 years. After her two-week stint as guest host, Dr. Mehmit Oz will step into the role before surrendering to Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers on April 5.

According to Mlive, something Portwood-Stacer really misses about Michigan is the food.

“You can’t get pasties out here or anywhere else really,” she says. “I also used to eat a lot of Hungry Howie’s while in school. That’s not out here, either. I haven’t been back to Michigan in a while because of the pandemic, but my parents still live in Livonia and I have a lot of friends that still live there.”

Fans of the show got to see a surprise ending Wednesday (3/3) night when all three contestants gave incorrect responses in Final Jeopardy. If you missed it, I won't spoil the surprise -- take a look at the video below.

Jeopardy airs locally on WNEM-TV 5, weeknights at 7.


LOOK: Milestones in women's history from the year you were born

Women have left marks on everything from entertainment and music to space exploration, athletics, and technology. Each passing year and new milestone makes it clear both how recent this history-making is in relation to the rest of the country, as well as how far we still need to go. The resulting timeline shows that women are constantly making history worthy of best-selling biographies and classroom textbooks; someone just needs to write about them.
