Question: Who is Jackie Fuchs?
“Jeopardy!” host Alex Trebek dropped a cherry bomb of a reveal this week when he revealed that Fuchs, who has won three games in a row coming into Thursday, was a founding member of the infamous punk girl group that started the careers of Joan Jett and Lita Ford, playing bass under the name Jackie Fox between 1975 and 1977.
The teen rockstar-turned-attorney made her first appearance on Dec. 14 and won for the fourth time Wednesday night by correctly answering a question about the poet Dylan Thomas.
“I told the producers that I wouldn’t talk about it unless I made it to day three, because I don’t want that to be just who I am, you know?,” Fuchs told Pitchfork Magazine .
