"Jeopardy" program

[JDgreen227]

There are likely several devoted viewers of that program here on TBN, and perhaps somebody can answer this question: When they have the introductions of the contestants at the start of each program, sometimes they introduce a person in this manner:

"A public service administrator (or whatever occupation the contestant has) formerly of "so and so location" ...John Jones (or whatever name the person has). What baffles me is the "formerly of..."

The majority of the contestants are introduced by their actual location, ie, hometown and state...I don't understand why all of them are not introduced that way.

Anyone know the reason? Thanks.

Perhaps some of them do not want their current location broadcast in order to protect their privacy from ID thieves and/or home burglars?

Or maybe they just moved...all their history and people who know them are in the "formerly from" place.

Thanks, guys...excellent replies...I hope the "Jeopardy" fans here saw that episode the other night where the contestant was asked to identify the picture of the chinchilla on the Daily Double clue...one of the FUNNIEST things I have ever seen on that program.

Funny, I thought of that one but then they could never show their faces on tv...

That dude was embarrassed. It was laugh-out-loud funny.
