Buzzy Cohen

About the Author

Buzzy Cohen is a music supervisor originally from New Jersey who now resides in Los Angeles. He came to public attention during his nine-game winning streak on Jeopardy! in 2016 and his subsequent 2017 Tournament of Champions win. Dubbed “Mr. Personality” by Alex Trebek, Buzzy is known for his singular style and irreverent sense of humor as much as his impressive brains. He guest-hosted 2021’s Tournament of Champions, and joined Season 3 of ABC’s The Chase, where he is known as “The Stunner.” He can also be heard hosting two official Jeopardy! podcasts: Inside Jeopardy! (with Sarah Whitcomb Foss) and This Is Jeopardy!: The Story of America’s Favorite Quiz Show. When he’s not selecting music for ads, winning trivia competitions, lifting, playing Brazilian-style guitar, or tap dancing, Buzzy spends his time cycling, surfing, collecting classic cars, and spending whatever time is left with his wife and two kids.
