Andrew He Welcomes A Son While Filming ‘Jeopardy! Masters’ Tournament

Season 38 "Jeopardy!" champion Andrew He welcomed a son while competing in the all-new "Jeopardy! Masters" tournament.

Several fans who attended a recent taping took to Reddit to share the news that their taping had been rescheduled due to what host Ken Jennings described as a "happy kind of emergency."

Now fans know why... Andrew is now the father of a newborn son!

On Monday night, “Jeopardy! Masters” host Ken Jennings let Andrew announce to the world that he had welcomed a son while the tournament was filming. “There’s been a big change in your life since we last saw you, right Andrew?” Ken asked.

“Oh, yeah now I have a newborn son,” Andrew answered as the audience cheered. “Thanks to just everyone in the world, I guess, but especially the Jeopardy crew. I had the double blessing of going from being here on the stage to within 24 hours going with my partner and welcoming the arrival of our son.”

“I just want to say to Sarah, I love you so much. This is for you and I wouldn’t be anywhere near here if not for you. So I’m gonna have to bring something nice back for you and baby Everett," he concluded as the audience cheered again.

The "Jeopardy!" Instagram account shared the exchange of their page, adding the caption, "Congratulations are in order for Andrew and his family! Can't wait to see your new addition on the #Jeopardy! stage in a few years." Many fans took to the comments to congratulate Andrew on his new bundle of joy.

"We love Andrew! Congrats to him! He was so kind when my daughter was watching the Masters taping - he came over post-game and wished her a happy birthday and signed her Jeopardy tee shirt, and she still talks about him doing that daily!" one fan revealed. "Yay and congrats to Andrew and Sarah. He is such a classy guy!!! Welcome baby Everett!!!" another follower commented.

"Big congrats to you and your partner!! You have always been one of my favorites. I think you'll be an amazing father! I hope you win the Masters!!" a third fan chimed in. "Awwww Congrats to Andrew & his partner to a new baby!!!! So exciting!!" another follower shared. "Congratulations to Andrew on the birth of his new baby!" another fan added.

Although some fans are hoping that Andrew He is going to win the "Jeopardy! Masters" tournament, he is facing some stiff competition from season 38 Tournament of Champions winner Amy Schneider. In an interview with the San Francisco Bay Times ahead of the show’s premiere, Amy revealed that she has a new strategy going into the new tournament.

“With almost every game of Jeopardy!, if you lose, you’re done. This is a different scenario, like a season of a sports league. You keep playing. If you lose you pick up and take it to the next game,” she explained. “That’s going to be interesting. How do you adjust over the course of a season? How do you change your game play when you are up against James Holzhauer, versus Matt Amodio or Sam Buttrey? Does that change how you play the game? That is something Jeopardy! hasn’t had a chance to explore before.”

She said that knowing each other's strengths and weaknesses is "exactly" the point of the new tournament, which features six of the strongest players in "Jeopardy!" history.

The tournament kicked off on May 8 and will run throughout the month. On Wednesday, May 17, the show aired the last of its regular games. The first round of semifinals will begin on Monday, May 22. The second round will begin on Tuesday, May 23, and the finals will start the following day.

For those unable to catch the tournament live, each episode is also available to stream on Hulu.
