Alex Cook, a consultant from St. Paul, will compete on “Jeopardy!” on Friday.

As usual, the production company won’t divulge ahead of time how Cook fares on the venerable game show. “Jeopardy!” airs at 4:30 p.m. on KARE-11.

Another St. Paul resident, Claudia Hochstein, an environmental program administrator at the Minnesota Zoo, was a contestant on “Jeopardy!” on Jan. 5. She finished third among the three contestants and won the “standard $1,000.” She baffled host Alex Trebek with her Final Jeopardy answer “Jeff,” a reference to the popular, silly meme dubbed “Jeffpardy.”
