Cheryl Farrell

With degrees from UCLA (BA, economics) and USC (MA, communications) and a strong background in travel and corporate banking, Cheryl Farrell returns for her seventh season as one of the “roving correspondents” of the Jeopardy! Clue Crew. Ebony magazine named her one of the “100 Most Promising Women in Corporate America.”  After appearing in hundreds of clues, Cheryl considers her “divinely inspired adventures” as an opportunity for messages of hope and advocacy. “The Clue Crew experience is a wonderful blend of education and entertainment. I am always proud to share the Clue Crew story which gives unique context for making a difference,” according to Cheryl. She has written essays about Black History clues in which she appeared and she has also created and hosted a customized Classroom Jeopardy! game for foster care teens. Additionally, Cheryl has written human interest stories on behalf of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. She was awarded the 2007 JDRF President’s Award for Outstanding Service that included stories about balancing her Clue Crew career and raising a child with type 1 diabetes.

“It’s an honor to be a part of Jeopardy!, this award-winning quiz show, which reaches out to millions of people and supports a variety of charities with winnings from special competitions such as Celebrity Jeopardy!,” said Cheryl. Jeopardy! viewers can find Cheryl delivering clues from the lush hills of Ireland, shrines to Russian leaders in Moscow’s Red Square and the history-filled halls of the William J. Clinton Presidential Library. A personal highlight of Cheryl’s Clue Crew experience was “singing clues to life” from such memorable venues as the Motown Historical Museum and the pulpit of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta. Cheryl resides in Los Angeles with her husband, Wendell, and their two children.
