“#Matt Amodio Breaks Another ‘Jeopardy!’ Record with Second Most Consecutive Wins”
Only Ken Jennings now stands in front of him, but Amodio has a long way to go to top the legendary Jeopardy! champ who won a staggering 74 games in a row.
After recently becoming the third contestant ever to surpass $1 million in total winnings, Amodio remains the third-highest overall dollar amount winner with a total of $1,267,801. Previous champions Holzhauer and Jennings, both earned more than $2 million in total.
When asked about being next to Jennings on the record list, Amodio stated, “Ken’s always been the face of Jeopardy! to me, so when I think of Jeopardy!, I think of him. To [be] right behind him is a surreal experience.” Amodio will return on Monday, October 4 to continue his winning streak alongside two new challengers.
Now in its 38th season, Jeopardy! is the highest-rated quiz show on television with over 20 million weekly viewers. Holding the Guinness World Record for the most Emmy Awards won by a TV game show with 42, the series has also received a Peabody Award for “celebrating and rewarding knowledge.”
The series is produced by Sony Pictures Television and distributed domestically by CBS Media Ventures and internationally by ViacomCBS Global Distribution Group
