As a gamer with over 25 years of gaming under my belt, I can confidently say that Hilary Glazer’s story has to be one of the most intriguing and bizarre anecdotes I’ve ever heard on Jeopardy! The tale of finding still life fruit art inside a toilet bowl is something straight out of a surrealist painting, or perhaps a Monty Python sketch.
In just a week of the new season of “Jeopardy!”, viewers have been treated to Dr. Phil joining Ken Jennings’ list of celebrity impressions, yet it wasn’t Alex Trebek’s comments that amused fans the most. Instead, Hilary Glazer, the unforgettable contestant from Season 41, captured the hearts of viewers with a timeless anecdote about discovering artwork inside a toilet. In other words?
Hilary Glazer’s Toilet Art Anecdote
From Charleston, West Virginia, Hilary was a tough competitor against her opponents Evan Suttell and Mark Palmere in the final round, although she didn’t have a significant impact on the Final Jeopardy! scores, accumulating only $800 in total.
Regardless, Glazer had managed to captivate millions earlier in the game with the contestants’ anecdote-sharing segment, a segment that hasn’t always proven successful for Ken Jennings. Yet, no one could be considered a loser during this tale’s telling. As she put it:
Ken, let me share an interesting incident from my past. This happened in a restroom at work, and I wasn’t the creator of the artwork. One day, when I entered the ladies room, there were three stalls. I chose one and was surprised to find a stunning still life arrangement inside the toilet. It included blueberries, melons, and strawberries. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a camera back then, but if I had, I would have captured it. All I have is my memory of this beautiful sight from around 2006, and it remains a cherished one.
.So. Many. Questions. Why did someone choose their work shift to be the perfect time to throw away a piece of still life art? Why was the bathroom seemingly the ideal part of the building for art refuse in an instance that doesn’t involve lewd comments scrawled on the stall’s walls? And how is it possible for painted fruit to still look beautifully composed when framed within a toilet bowl?
Ken’s face radiated genuine delight as Hilary shared her story, a stark contrast to what many consider the most disheartening Jeopardy! incident ever (which dates back almost a decade).

The Amusing Detail Edited Out Of Hilary’s Story
Despite Hilary Glazer not disclosing the exact origin or reason for not donating the painting, she did share during Jeopardy! that her story was altered and a humorous detail was omitted, making the situation even more bewildering. In response to positive comments on Reddit about the game show, Glazer admitted that her narrative had been edited.
Hello there! I’m the one they call Hilary on today’s program, and I’m just thrilled that you enjoyed my tale. A few minor adjustments were made during editing, so unfortunately, the part about the nearby trash cans didn’t quite make it into your listening experience. 🙂
It’s disappointing that the editors on Jeopardy! removed an additional detail from Hillary’s tale as it seems to add unnecessary complexity to the narrative. Granted, it’s not a hidden fact that public restrooms have trash cans, but in the context of this particular story, it feels bizarre and out of place.
Opting for a toilet as a trash bin when there’s a real one just a few strides off might seem odd, especially when it appears the item being discarded was not ready to part ways with its artistic journey so soon and preferred an unconventional “send-off” – more like a symbolic ocean burial, or as near as we can get in this case.
Why She Randomly Guessed “Necromancer” In Final Jeopardy
As a gamer myself, I sometimes like to throw in a curveball for fun during Final Jeopardy. For instance, when some viewers wondered why I wrote “Who Is The Necromancer?” as my final answer, it was actually a whimsical guess from a tricky situation. In response to someone who thought it was a silly answer from a losing position, I admitted that it truly was!
Three cheers for our victor! The evening prior to recording, my buddy’s spouse recommended I compose “unknown answer” as an option, so hats off to Dan (I’m unsure of his online alias).
For an amusing way of dodging questions you can’t immediately answer, consider responding with “Let’s pretend we’re discussing the enigmatic character ‘Necromancer’. How does that fit into our current conversation?” This playful approach might divert attention from your lack of a solid answer, and potentially bring some humor or intrigue to the interaction.
As you eagerly anticipate the next broadcast of “Jeopardy!”, take a trip down memory lane and reminisce about the moment when Alex Trebek playfully reprimanded a contestant over their fondness for Nerdcore music.
