When Anji Nyquist appeared on “Jeopardy!” earlier this month, little did she know that she would turn into a social media sensation!
The native of Minneapolis, Minnesota, made a splash with viewers after he won the July 5 episode of the long-running trivia game show. She did an “ask me anything” segment on her Instagram page right after her appearance, but she said that so many “creeps” responded to her that she had to personally close her Instagram page!

Unfortunately, fans can no longer see photos or videos of “Jeopardy!” champion on Instagram, as his page is now closed. Fortunately, she still has photos available on Twitter to document her time on the game show, including one featuring her with “Jeopardy!” host Ken Jennings.
In a recent interview with The Sun, Anji admitted that she got a lot of unwanted questions after her appearance on the game show directed at her body rather than her interest in learning. “I do ‘ask me anything,'” he said. “And there are a lot of people asking, ‘Are you going to be OnlyFans? It’s going to be very popular.’”
While he was “complimented” with some of the answers, he was surprised by others. “You’re going to get some good people, and you’re going to get some creeps. I’ve been getting DMs from random guys,” she said, revealing that some “Jeopardy!” fans have told her, “You’re the hottest contestant ever.”
Anji Wants To Be Remembered For His Brain, Not His Body

While it may flatter many fans to tell her how “beautiful” she is, she wants to be remembered for her good performance on the game show and not just her looks. She also took to Twitter to address comments about her appearance, saying that her lips were natural, although her eyelash extensions and micro-bladed eyebrows were not.
Anji told The Sun, “’Jeopardy!’ is about your brain and how you perform in this scenario,” adding, “It’s not what I expected, that’s for sure.” He also told the outlet that he was surprised by how small the actual set was, compared to how it looked on TV. He said it was “smaller” than he expected and noted that “the board and the contestants are not that far off.”

He said the contestants weren’t that far from host Ken Jennings, whom he described as “my hero.” Anji has long been a fan of the show and used to watch it with his father, who sadly passed away before his big game show appearance. However, both managed to witness professional sports gambler James Holzhauer and his record-breaking streak, which lasted from April to June 2019.
“My dad would do the ‘everything’ move with James, and he would cheer when he got it right so that was a special memory for me. Now I am part of that family,” he said.
Although he expected that there would be some “negativity” in response to his run online, he did not expect that he would get the attention he has now! He said, “I know there’s going to be some negativity, but it’s nice to have 15 minutes of fame.”
