A 10-year-old from Deer Park, New York...

Zachary Baumgartner

Which categories are you hoping to see?
The categories I'd like to see: probably about music--I'm really good with the 1960s stuff, especially, and, uh, HISTORY, not to mention THE ARTS.

What do you want to be when you grow up?
When I grow up, I probably want to be a musician because I play six different instruments, and probably a drawer, because I am a drawer.

How did your classmates find out you'd be on the show?
Well, I called the teacher, and she said she'd put it on the lightboard. And the next day at school--this was on Friday, which incidentally was Friday the 13th--there were two balloons, uh, blue and white for the Jeopardy! colors, and a smiley face all attached to the chair.

What's the best thing about being a kid?
The best thing about being a kid is--the fun!
