Ken Jennings is sharing some secrets for any hopeful Jeopardy! contestants out there.
Chatting with Fox News Digital on the red carpet for the TCM Classic Film Festival earlier this month, the game show host shared advice on how to prep for the competition as well as what subjects to study.
"I would say watching the show is the best way to prep for the show," he said. "If you watch Jeopardy! like the rhythm of the host's voice will kind of get into your pulse. You'll know the kind of stuff that comes up, the kind of material. That's how you become a good Jeopardy! player."
As for what specific facts to have at the top of your head? He advised that potential players learn the U.S. presidents and their first ladies in order as well as the world capitals.
"Those are the two things that is like the most bang for your buck if you're cramming for ‘Jeopardy!’" Jennings said.

Regardless of a contestant's intelligence or how hard they studied though, Jennings acknowledged that the vibe changes once the cameras are rolling.
"Everybodythere has passed a very hard test to be on the show. So really it comes down to who can perform under pressure because these people are not used to doing this with lights and camera and everything," he revealed, explaining that some players immediately excel and others can buckle.
"It's like they'll suddenly become their best ‘Jeopardy!’ selves," he said of players who thrive in front of the TV cameras. "And some are a little more deer in the headlights."Jennings himself, took the helm as host full time of the iconic game show in 2023, following the 2020 death of Alex Trebek and his own winning of 74 games in a row.
As for what he learned from Trebek when it comes to hosting the show, it's that he's "not the star."
"You shouldn't be paying attention to the host to ‘Jeopardy!’" he said. "Like, if everything's going well, the game and the contestants are the star and that's absolutely how it should be."?
