Jackie Fuchs, who played bass for the Runaways from 1975 to 1977 under the name Jackie Fox, is a contestant on tonight’s episode of “Jeopardy!” It’ll mark Fuchs’ second episode on the show, following her debut last Friday, December 14 when she became the new champion, winning $14,200. According to the J! Archive fan site, there were even two music-related clues in the Friday episode: “In this song by the B-52’s, ‘we were at the beach, everybody had matching towels’” (“What is ‘Rock Lobster?’”); and “Solana Imani Rowe performs under this 3-letter name, as on ‘All the Stars’ with Kendrick Lamar” (“Who is SZA?”). Fuchs got the B-52’s; nobody got SZA.
