Jeopardy! Answer Is Popular NJ Town; 3 Contestants Miss It – Patch

ESSEX COUNTY, NJ — This northern New Jersey suburb is constantly ranked among the best places to live in New Jersey, is a shopping destination for its mall, and has been mentioned in classic novels (and novellas) like Philip Roth’s “Goodbye, Columbus.” But it wasn’t well known enough for three Jeopardy contestants to get the answer earlier this week.

Do you think you can answer? What about for $600?

On Tuesday, the Jeopardy host asked, “Stuart Hartshorn made a fortune in window shade rollers and gave his S.H. initials to this wealthy New Jersey suburb.”

Give up?

So did the Jeopardy! contestants. No one rang in before the buzzer, which meant they missed out on the moola.

The category was “Suburbs.” The answer?

Short Hills.
