As a teenager, Erin Post began watching "Jeopardy!" everyday with her grandmother. She first auditioned when she was only 16-years-old and has taken the online test many times.

Today all of her hard work will pay off as the 26-year-old will be on the show. The episode was taped back in July, she had auditioned a year before that.

“When I got the phone call, I thought it was a mean joke because so many of my friends knew how much I loved the show," Erin Told the Quad City Times. "And then I was like, ‘Oh, my god, this is really happening.’”
