Hey, we know her!

Former New Hampshire Magazine associate editor Sarah Cahalan appeared on “Jeopardy!” on April 4. Readers who remember all the way back to around 2016 might recall our former associate editor, Sarah Cahalan. Sarah’s since gone on to accomplish many other things, including earning a master’s degree from Northwestern’s Medill School of Journalism and, oh, winning a little thing called the Pulitzer Prize as a member of the New York Times’ Covid-19 tracking team. Although those are certainly impressive resumé items, getting to be on the legendary “Jeopardy!” might be the coolest one. Sarah’s episode was April 4, and since that was just after this issue’s publication date, we can’t tell you how she did — though, if we were betting people, we’d say really well. Various responses around the office to the news included “makes sense,” “yeah, not surprised” and “she might be the host already.” Sarah says her goals were a little less lofty than securing hosting duties — she mainly wanted to get to “Final Jeopardy!” and to “not look like a complete moron.” She assures us she was successful on both fronts. (Again, no surprise here.) You can read more about her experiences at nhmagazine.com (like chilling in the makeshift, Covid-era “green room,” aka the set of “Wheel of Fortune”).
