John Stamos Responds to ‘Jeopardy!’ Contestant He Inspired to Become a Pharmacist



John Stamos: actor. Musician. Life-changer.

During the May 28 episode of โ€œJeopardy!,โ€ contestant Alice Welch, an epidemiologist from Queens, New York, said the โ€œFull Houseโ€ star is responsible for her career journey, a fact that moved Stamos himself.

โ€œThank you for sharing this story, Alice! Put a big smile on my face,โ€ he wrote while sharing the clip on his Instagram page on May 29. โ€œAnd for the record โ€” I think you would found success no matter what choice you made that day. Hope we get to meet again in person!โ€

In the clip from Welchโ€™s interview on โ€œJeopardy!โ€ Welch said she became a pharmacist because of Stamos.

โ€œSo, it was my senior year of high school, and I was working at a local greeting card store, and hated it,โ€ she said.

โ€œAnd John Stamos came to town to do photos and sign autographs. And they said I couldnโ€™t go. They were like, โ€˜John Stamos or your job.โ€™ And, obviously, John Stamos,โ€ she continued, as the audience and host Ken Jennings laughed.

Welch then said that ultimatum changed the trajectory of her life.

โ€œThree days later, I got a job in the local pharmacy and then went to pharmacy school,โ€ she said.

โ€œHe changed your life,โ€ Jennings said.

โ€œChanged my life. Thanks, John,โ€ Welch said.

โ€œI hope you get a chance to tell him in person someday,โ€ Jennings said.
