National Journal copy editor Tonia Moore wants to be a millionaire. Well, OK, she’s on the show “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” this week, which is the same thing, right?
Moore, who a show bio says is “such a movie fan that she took three days off from work to see ‘The Avengers’ premiere,” didn’t finish her round of questions Thursday so she’ll appear Friday as well. Moore finished Thursday with an accumulated bank of $18,100 and correctly answered the question “The 2012 film “The Expendables 2” features the lead actors from all but which of the following classic action movies?” (Answer: D, “Braveheart.”)

Last spring Dan Adkison, a deputy copy chief at Time magazine, rolled over opponents on “Jeopardy!” before getting derailed by a question about the American Revolution. “The reason copy editors are good at Jeopardy is because we read so many different things,” he told Time’s Tumblr.
Blogging copy editor Pam Nelson once appeared on Jeopardy herself. She wrote about her experience for the show for the Raleigh News & Observer: “Let me tell you, it was hard keeping a secret around professional journalists whose job it is to get people to tell them things.”
