Beyond being one of the coolest comic book writers today, Tini Howard is also a Jeopardy! contestant. And no, this is not an April Fool's joke!

On her Instagram, Tini Howard broke the news that we'll be able to watch her compete on Jeopardy! on April 17, 2026. The post included photos of her beaming at her contestant podium (with an iconic handwritten name display, might I add) and posing with Jeopardy! host Ken Jennings. 

Because all of us absolutely have a million questions about how this came together for Tini Howard, the writer addressed a few things in her post's caption.

"I took the Jeopardy anytime test on the website and went through the standard casting process, you can do it too! The hardest part is not knowing the questions, it's buzzing in on time. There's one question you'll see me miss when you watch the show and I buzzed in TOO EARLY and wanted to die that someone else got it. You'll know it when you see it." 

And, to cap things off, Howard revealed that host Ken Jennings, beyond being one of the greatest Jeopardy! contestants in history, is also a comic book fan! How cool is that?
