If you watch Jeopardy then might already know this but if you don't or aren't a regular watcher, did you know that Texarkana has been mentioned as either the subject of the question or it was the answer? 

According to the J-archive website, Texarkana has been mentioned 11 times! The most recent was last year in October and the first time was way back in 1987.  Below I have listed the Jeopardy 'answers' because the questions are the answers and the answer is the question. Yeah, you know what I mean. You can click on the highlighted date and it will take you to the archived Jeopardy game board.

Do you remember any of these times that Texarkana was mentioned on the show?

There was also one person from Texarkana on the show as a contestant. Justin Otor was on the show back in 2007 when he was just 12 years old for Kid's week on Jeopardy. He went to Pleasant Grove Middle School. He has said he wanted to work in the field of music or science. We'd love to know what he's been up to. If you know be sure to let us know.
