Art history professor wins $38,000 on Jeopardy

It took Elisa Korb two years to get to the set of the hit ABC game show "Jeopardy!"

When she finally did she made the best of it, winning $38,100 over two days as champion on shows that aired Sept. 29 and 30.

Korb, of Bethlehem, says she took the online test in January 2012, followed by a live audition a month later in Manhattan.

"I was called for August that year," says the art history professor at Misericordia University in Dallas, Pennsylvania. "But the date coincided with my first day at Misericordia, so I had to turn it down."

Korb was told that if she wasn't called again within a year to appear on the show, she would be dropped from the contestant list.

So she was surprised when the "Jeopardy!" folks called in June of this year asking her to come to California to compete...
