Quirky 'Jeopardy!' contestant wins over social media with her silly facial expressions
One Jeopardy! contestant caused quite a stir on social media Thursday, as it seems she made a real impression with her expressions.
Julia Markham Cameron, an attorney from Brooklyn, N.Y., immediately caught the eyes of Jeopardy! viewers with the way she reacted not only to the questions being asked, but also the answers she herself was giving. Even the current fill-in host on the show, actress Mayim Bialik, couldn’t help but laugh a few times.
And Bialik wasn’t the only one getting a kick out of Cameron, with viewers on Twitter saying things like, “I am LIVING for Julia’s facial expressions,” and referring to her as “a breath of fresh air.”

Of course not everyone was loving Julia on Twitter, but her fans weren’t having it. With one pointing out that “she speaks to all awkward nerds.”
Get Julia out of here lmaoooo #Jeopardy

And some fans even thought Julia would make for a perfect character in an Saturday Night Live skit, even casting show star Melissa Villase?or to play the part.
YES! I totally can see Melissa Villase?or @melissavcomedy playing Julia in a jeopardy skit, lol! pic.twitter.com/TPYNrNclDW

Of course an SNL skit would probably only happen if Julia can string together a bunch of victories. And she’s off to a good start, winning Thursday with a total of $16,450. But if she does win more, she might have to come up with something else to say besides her reaction on Thursday: “Shut up! That’s crazy.”
