'Jeopardy!' interview: Champion Amy Schneider on her strategy (and why she wears those pearls)įinal 'Jeopardy!' answer is 'Who is Amy Schneider'? The category? Champions, of course. But they were no match for Schneider, who racked up a sizable pot – $37,600 – ahead of Final Jeopardy. Mercer and O’Leary trailed with $4,200 and $800, respectively. Jennings made note of Schneider potentially tying Amodio's record at the top of the episode as Schneider's opponents – Joanne Mercer, a registered nurse from Toledo, Ohio, and Erin O’Leary, an attorney from New York City – prepared to take on the champ.
Ken Jennings, winner of the game show's 2020 Greatest of All Time tournament and current host of the syndicated quiz show, holds the record of most consecutive games with 74, set in 2004. (The two will compete in the next "Jeopardy!" Tournament of Champions.) Schneider, an engineering manager from Oakland, California, on Monday broke Matt Amodio's record of 38 games, set only last October. Chuck Forrest (born June 3, 1961) held the record for the largest non-tournament cash winnings total from 1985 to 1989, and the largest all-time winnings from 1986 to 1990.

However, for technical reasons, this page will continue to be titled using the previous terminology-”ultra-champion”. In addition to breaking records on the show with her impressive winning streak, Schneider is making 'Jeopardy' history with each passing game and representing the LGBTQ+ community at the same time. Entering the tournament, his total Jeopardy winnings totaled 3,372,700, which was second-highest behind fellow competitor Rutter.
He won 74 consecutive matches, and his total of 2,522,700 is a record for non-tournament winnings. The Jeopardy! Fan accepts this change-considering it similar to when Major League Baseball revised its definition of “no-hitter”-and will use the term super-champion to refer to 10-game champions moving forward. Jennings first appeared on the program in 2004 and set two Jeopardy records that he still holds. In the time since-likely due to the increase of 10-plus game winners since 2014-the show decided to set the threshold for the term “super-champion” at 10 victories. One technical note regarding terminology: In 2003, the fans on the show’s official message boards at the time began using the term “super-champion” to refer to those who won at least six games. Scott and the other two contestants each answered the final question wrong, but Scott was the only one who didnt wager his total balance, keeping 1 and winning the game. Since September 2003, Jeopardy! instituted what is known as the “Sky’s The Limit” rule champions now play until they lose (prior to the rule’s implementation, champions were capped at 5 wins). According to All Stars 'Jeopardy' records, the smallest amount a winner has won was 1, by Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Darryl Scott in 1993.
