Brandon Libby Early Career
Having grown in California, Brandon gained his passion for weather. California is usually known for its abundant sunshine and warm temperatures but on a rare occasion, a thunderstorm would roll through. It was during these moments that he would be glued to the window in awe of the lightning.
When Brandon moved to Hugo, Minnesota at the end of sixth grade, One warm spring day, on May 25, 2008, an EF3 tornado ripped through his neighborhood. It destroyed houses, properties and even killed a young boy. The same storm system that gave rise to an EF5 tornado in Parkersburg, Lowa. After that dreadful day, Brandon knew that he wanted to pursue meteorology in hopes of understanding our powerful atmosphere and keeping people safe.
In a study that analyzed lightning deaths between 2006 and 2016, males accounted for a whopping 79 percent, which isn’t all that surprising considering how stubborn they can be. In the conclusion of the paper it states that: “for many of the lightning victims, safe shelters were available. However, the victims simply did not act soon enough to get to safety before they were struck.”

Brandon Libby Interview
GCN: How and when did you audition?
BL: It was a long process. I’ve been trying to get on Jeopardy for years. It’s always been a dream of mine. For the past six years, I’ve been taking the on-line test, which is the only way to get on. They only have it once a year. So I was taking it and taking it. It was really difficult. Last January 2011, I took the test again. When I finished it, I thought, “That one was really tough.” So I just put it out of my mind. Then in May 2011, I got an email saying, “Congratulations, you passed the on-line test.” From there, I had to go to New York for a second-round audition.
GCN: How exciting was that?
BL: Just getting the email telling me I passed the test was a dream come true.
GCN: What happened next?
BL: I went up to New York at the end of June 2011 to do the second round audition, which was another test and “Mock Jeopardy” games with other contestants. We also had to meet with the producers so they could assess our personalities. The producers told us we could hear from them the very next day or eighteen months from then.
GCN: But you did hear from them.
BL: Yes. I got a call from them in October 2011 that they wanted me to come out to Los Angeles and be on Jeopardy.
GCN: How did you react?
BL: I freaked out. I started screaming.
GCN: When did you actually go out?
BL: I flew out in November to film the shows at Sony Picture Studios.
