CULVER CITY, CALIF. (Dec. 30, 2011) – Beginning Monday, Jan. 2, “Jeopardy!” will switch from WATL-TV to “11Alive” (channel 11) at 7:30 p.m. 

Dave Leach, a 35-year-old software analyst from Atlanta, continues his “Jeopardy!” winning streak.  Tonight, Leach won his second game – earning a total of $34,683 in cash winnings so far.

Leach said that playing “Jeopardy!” at home helped prepare him the most.   “I watched the show nearly every night and practiced ringing in on a ball point pen,” he said. Leach also prepared for “Jeopardy!” in other unique ways.  “I practiced while waiting in line for the roller coasters at Six Flags. I had a friend pull up trivia on her phone and quiz me,” he added.
