“I had the double blessing of going from being here on the stage to within 24 hours going with my partner and welcoming the arrival of our son,” he continued.

The new dad went on to praise his wife, Sarah, dedicating his game to her: “I just want to say to Sarah, I love you so much. This is for you and I wouldn’t be anywhere near here if not for you. So I’m gonna have to bring something nice for you and everyone.”

The official “Jeopardy!” Instagram account shared the clip, writing alongside it: “Congratulations are in order for Andrew and his family! Can’t wait to see your new addition on the #Jeopardy! stage in a few years 😉”.
