Bob Dolmetsch, from Arlington Heights, Illinois, was a contestant on Season 4 of the syndicated U.S. version of the show on January 26-27, 2006. He won $1,000 after incorrectly answering his $25,000 question.
Bob died at the age of 80 on November 15, 2021. According to his obituary, he was also a contestant on Jeopardy!, but there is no record of him in the J! Archive. Perhaps he was instead a contestant on the Art Fleming version.
