Originally from Silver Spring, Kevin Belle is a trail planner whose total earnings on Jeopardy! were $42,798, after winning three games and participating in a fourth. The run started last week and ran until Wednesday night, when Kevin failed to defend his title. He was the winning contestant on Ken Jenning’s last show as host before a long hiatus.
Kevin stole the show during his Q&A with Jennings, revealing he also goes by “Whiskey Ginger.” Whiskey Ginger is Belle’s drag persona that he refers to as a “spicy redhead.” Belle explained during the contestant chat segment, “And I also host trivia online as Whiskey Ginger on Zoom, I picked it up during the pandemic.” He then urged Jennings to give drag a shot, saying “And you’ve got a very talented makeup crew here Ken and I was hoping maybe one day we could convince you to do it here as well.” Ken laughed out loud and upon collecting himself, said, “I was trying to think of a good Jeopardy!-themed drag name. Maybe Della Double?” “Miss Information might be nice too,” Kevin replied. Featured photo courtesy of Kevin Belle/WhiseyGingDrag
