(MCT) — Despite Colby Burnett's attempts to downplay his appearances on "Jeopardy!" a fever has swept his colleagues and students as they've watched him move forward in the TV game show's two-week teachers tournament.

On Tuesday, Burnett, a teacher at Fenwick High School, will be seen vying against two other finalists for the $100,000 grand prize in the conclusion of episodes filmed about seven weeks ago.. The show airs locally at 2:30 p.m. on WLS-Ch. 7.
