This season is the 30th since the Alex Trebek-hosted revival of Jeopardy! debuted in 1984. To celebrate, the producers of the show are inviting 15 contestants from each of the three decades to compete in a special tournament.
As you may know, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau head Richard Cordray was actually a 5-time champion on Jeopardy! back in 1987 and made the semifinals of his season's Tournament of Champions. And now, he's one of the 14 producers' picks to represent the first decade in the tournament. (The last contestant for each of the three decades will be determined by public vote.)
