Is Mr. Vazquez $100,000 Richer?

If you can't be home this week at 2:30 p.m. to watch Jeopardy!, be sure to set your DVR.

On Monday, Nov. 11, the fourth edition of the Jeopardy! Teachers Tournament gets underway, and Sandburg Middle School band teacher Ricardo Vazquez is one of the contestants vying for $100,000.

Did he win it all or was he knocked out early? Did he wear one of his crazy "Thursday" shirts? Did he give a shout out to Elmhurst folks back home? What does this look on Alex Trebek's face mean?

So far, only Mr. Vazquez knows—and he's been keeping it a secret since the shows were filmed last month. But that's all about to change.

The Teachers Tournament will run at 2:30 p.m. weekdays, Nov. 11-22, on WLS-TV. Vazquez also will be hosting a viewing party to watch a replay of the show at 4 p.m. Monday at Anyway's, 5 E. Roosevelt Road, Oakbrook Terrace. 

See who walks away with $100,000 and earns a spot in the Tournament of Champions. Win or lose, each teacher will receive a minimum of $5,000 and a Classroom Jeopardy! unit for their school, according to the Jeopardy! website.
