AARON Lemos, a contestant on Monday's new episode of Jeopardy!, revealed he once made a quick cameo on a popular sitcom. The high school video production teacher shocked host Ken Jennings , 50, as he shared his story of appearing on My So-Called Life . Aaron said the popular 90s teen sitcom needed a finger in one of the scenes but didn't want to pay an actor.
Since he was already working production on the show, they had him fill in. "Speaking of video production, you have a TV career, Aaron, right?" Ken asked the player after he introduced his profession. "I do," Aaron responded, clarifying, "Actually, my index finger does.
" "I was working on a TV show as a production assistant and they needed to get an insert shot of an actor's finger going down a yearbook and pointing at a picture. "And they didn't want to pay the actor so they got me. "But I got to wear the wardrobe.
No IMDB credit, though," he joked. Aaron then said the name of the show it was for, to which Ken replied, "I love My So-Called Life!" After Ken joked back and asked Aaron if he gets "recognized a lot" for the role, Aaron said, "Not yet. Maybe today.
" Jeopardy! fans in the comments section gushed over the teacher's confession. "I was like DYING when i heard this. 'a show called my so called life!' only THE BEST SHOW ON EARTH," one person wrote.
"I LOVE that show! Such a 90s vibe. Tragic that there was only ever 1 season," a second said. "How will that finger do in the @jeopardy buzzer?!?!" a third joked.
