A Friend of Unfair Park who works for Dallas County sends word that a pal of hers makes her bow on Jeopardy this week -- though whether she's a big winner, well, we won't say, lest it spoil the surprise, surprise, surprise. The contestant is Dallas' own Jennah Durant, whose mug is at this very moment featured on the game show's home page.

Says our Friend, Durant's first episode airs Friday ... with at least two more forthcoming early next week, if that's any indication of how well Durant did. And, so you know, says her friend and ours, "Jennah's a pretty cool cat just in general. She went to the LBJ School of Public Affairs and works for the EPA and neat stuff like that." And she's on Jeopardy, which also is neat. --Robert Wilonsky
