Celebrity Jeopardy! is back for its third season on ABC, and it looks like the fun facts will be a lot of fun with the first crop of celebrities playing for charity.

In TV Insider’s exclusive sneak peek at the Season 3 premiere, airing Wednesday (Jan. 8) night, Grey’s Anatomy star Camilla Luddington reveals how her time on the medical drama made a big difference to her life.

Asking her about her heritage in the UK, host Ken Jennings says: “I don’t think I knew you were English!”‘

To which Luddington replies: “Yeah, I moved to the US in my 20s and then I lost my accent because I played an American doctor for 13 years.” Although she didn’t name check the show itself, she is obviously referring to Grey’swhere she has played Jo Wilson (aka Jo Karev) since 2012.

Jennings then asks Luddington if the accent returns when she goes home, and she confirms that it does.

“Yeah, I sound crazy. I’m back and forth in my accent all the time,” she admits. “I didn’t grow up with Danger!and I think it should be part of the immigration test. I understand how important it is.”

Luddington then reveals that she plays for the I Stand With My Pack charity, “a female-led nonprofit” where “they rescue and rehabilitate animals locally and internationally.”

Luddington will star alongside W. Kamau Bell and Max Greenfield in the episode.
