Jay Borsom Jeopardy Contestant Profile

Jay Borsom, a resident of Plainfield, Illinois, is a trivia content creator and DJ. She has made a name for herself by attempting to break the Guinness World Record for the “Longest Marathon as a Quiz Master.” On June 7, 2025, she plans to host a 36-hour trivia event at Critical Grind Board Game Cafe in Shorewood, Illinois, to break the current record of 34 hours, 35 minutes, and 45 seconds. This ambitious attempt will require Borsom to ask trivia questions continuously for 36 hours, with 10-minute breaks every hour, for a total of over 2,000 questions.

Borsom has been involved in trivia for a long time and has hosted pub trivia since 2009. She is also the owner of an entertainment company called Liquid Kourage Entertainment, which she has run since 2003. Throughout her career, she has become a significant figure in the trivia community and is well-known for her high-energy and fast-paced trivia events. For the world record attempt, she has received support from the Trivia Writers Cooperative, with independent trivia writers contributing question sets to the event.

In addition to her world record attempt, Borsom is also involved in community initiatives, particularly supporting the trans community. She identifies as a trans woman and has used her platform to advocate for trans rights and protections. For her Guinness World Record attempt, she is donating 20 percent of the ticket sales to Tabletop Gaymers, a nonprofit organization that ensures gaming venues are safe spaces for the LGBTQ+ community. She is also streaming the event on Twitch, with proceeds from the platform being donated to Trans Lifeline, an organization that provides support for trans people in crisis.

Borsom’s efforts have been recognized by her local community. She has partnered with Critical Grind, a board game cafe that has been a meaningful part of her life. The cafe will remain open for the duration of the event, offering snacks and caffeine to participants. Borsom has expressed her gratitude for the support from the cafe, its owner, Dana Buxbaum, and the local community. This partnership is a testament to Borsom’s belief in “found family” and the importance of third spaces, like the Critical Grind cafe, which has provided her with a sense of belonging.
