West Virginia native wins Jeopardy! in landslide victory
(WBOY) — A contestant who is originally from West Virginia won big on Jeopardy Tuesday night. Matt Massie, an attorney originally from South Charleston, West Virginia, took a commanding lead during the episode that aired on June 10 when he wagered a true Daily Double during Double Jeopardy. He answered the question correctly and doubled his $7,200 winnings to $14,400. By the end of the round, he had more than three times the winnings of the contestant in second place. Massie also answered the Final Jeopardy question correctly, bringing his total winnings to $30,000 for the day. You can watch Massie play again on June 11 at 7 p.m. on WBOY-NBC. WATCH: West Virginia's Fiesta Tableware appears as a clue on Jeopardy! The last West Virginia native champion, Adriana Harmeyer who won 15 games earlier this year, received some criticism in her home state because she never mentioned the Mountain State during her tenure on the show. Massie, on the other hand, was announced as being originally from West Virginia and even shared an anecdote about West Virginia during the contestant interview segment in the middle of the show. Massie said that while he was in law school, he helped sort out an error with the voting and Senate districts in the small unincorporated community of Malden in Kanawha County, West Virginia. He learned that the community had been sorted into the wrong district for the State Senate and had been voting for the wrong candidates for three election cycles. Massie was able to take the problem to the Kanawha County Commission and get it fixed in 2016, he said on the show. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

James Gunn Says There Is ‘Zero Truth' to Warner Bros. Making Him Shorten ‘Superman' Runtime: ‘They Couldn't Even if That's Something That They Wanted'
James Gunn is setting the record straight on the 'Superman' runtime. On Instagram Threads, a user reached out to the DC Studios head to ask if the run time of two hours and nine minutes was accurate. Gunn responded, stating that the rumored time was dead on. More from Variety As Comic Book Movies Scale Back Releases, Marvel and DC Look to This Summer to Decide the Future of Superhero Cinema Inside the Warner Bros. Discovery Upfront: Big Laughs for 'HBO Max' Name Change; No NBA, But Shaq Still Stops By to Promote 'Superman' Movie 'Superman' Trailer: Lois Lane Interviews Superman After He Stops a War Single-Handedly and Gets Arrested 'Inclusive of credits/post credits the runtime is 2 hours 9 minutes,' Gunn replied. Gunn was then asked about another rumored topic: Whether or not Warner Bros. had asked him to shorten the film. Gunn once again weighed in. 'Zero truth to that,' he wrote. 'And they couldn't even if that's something that they wanted to [do]. It's a DC Studios film.' Previously titled 'Superman: Legacy,' 'Superman' is written and directed by Gunn. David Corenswet stars as the titular Man of Steel opposite Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane. Nicholas Hoult plays the film's villain, the megalomaniac super-genius Lex Luthor. Other members of the cast include Skyler Gisondo as journalist Jimmy Olsen, Anthony Carrigan as the Metamorpho, Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern Guy Gardner, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl and Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific. Gunn's directorial debut as head of DC Studios is the first solo Superman film in over a decade. The last movie centering around the Son of Krypton was Zack Snyder's 2013 'Man of Steel,' which went on to gross $670 million at the worldwide box office. That film kicked off a DC-connected universe, which included films like 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,' 'Wonder Woman,' 'Suicide Squad' and 'The Flash.' The timeline ended with 'Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom' in December 2023. 'Superman' hits theaters July 11.
