A Jeopardy! contestant shared that he was afraid to apply to the game show due to his anxiety. However, he eventually did and made it on Season 41. He is now giving advice to those who may be too afraid to apply.

“Hi Reddit, I’m Mark from the first week of this season. This week is the one-year anniversary of my Getting the Call to be on the show, and I wanted to commemorate that milestone by offering some advice and encouragement to those who may be in a similar boat as I was. Truth is, I was always afraid of being on Jeopardy! because I didn’t think my anxiety would let me, and from reading this subreddit, I know there are others who feel the same way,” he wrote on Reddit.
