Austin Rogers (born November 27, 1978) is a bartender from New York City who earned $413K throughout 13 shows, winning 12. He got described by one account as "Krameresque" and by Trebek himself as "outside the box, completely different from what many viewers expect a 'Jeopardy!' contestant to be." Rogers is known for his flair and quirky poses, pantomiming humorous actions (such as making a phone call or pouring himself a drink) while being introduced. Although he doesn't own a television, he prepared for qualification by watching several 'Jeopardy!' episodes and knowing its tricks.

- He is a natural enemy of Alan Lin, who defeated Austin in the ToC qualifier to reach the final, and also ranked higher than him in the final.
