With his six-day win last December, Nissley is the third-highest money winner to come out of regular Jeopardy (not including tournaments.)

Tonight, Nissley kicks of the Tournament of Champions and Nissley tells us that he is in the first game. In tonight’s game, he gives a shout-out to his wife’s handbag business, Glittersweet, which we’re told is popular with Ballard moms.

Nissley’s grand total for the eight days is $235,000.

Jeopardy airs on Channel 4 at 7:30 p.m.
