Bangor writer Allen Adams may have won a rap battle judged by Coolio, as he proudly told “Jeopardy!” host Alex Trebek during the contestant intermission, but he will not be returning for another episode of the beloved trivia game show.
Adams, editor of the Maine Edge and Bangor area actor, took third place with a $1,000 prize in the show that aired Tuesday night.

“I’ve always had a head for trivia. I read a lot, and it tends to stick,” Adams told BDN reporter Emily Burnham. His love of books was clearly represented with a bookshelf-themed tie that he wore during the contest.
Adams attended a watch party for the airing of the pre-recorded show at the new Orono Brewing Co. location.
