Jeopardy Run

[Jumper_Dad]

If you liked Ken Jennings or James Holzhauer's runs on Jeopardy. Check out the current run of Matt Amodio. He's approaching 30 games and is over $1,000,000 won.

He is currently 3rd in consecutive games won and money won in regular games.

Ken won 74 games and $2.5 million.

James won 32 games and $2.46 million.

Matt has won 29 games and just over $1 million.

They are 1st, 2nd and 3rd in those categories. 

He plays a lot like James but isn't quite as aggressive on the Double Jeopardy questions. He is aggressive, just not like James.

Hopefully the three of them play.

I wonder if the ratings for these kind of runs are high. I get annoyed by this Matt guy and just turn it off when it is clear that final jeopardy will not be interesting.

Not a lot of interest in the current streak by fans it seems.  Doesn't help that there has been constant drama with Jeopardy's search for the next host.

He's from Medina, OH I think.

The drama has definitely overshadowed this guy's run. Jennings nobody had ever seen and was captivating. Holzhauer revolutionized the game and was captivating. This guy is somewhere in between and not as captivating.

That's how I feel, he's half Ken and half James. That said, I like seeing just how far he can go.

He is #2 in games won now.

[Jumper_Dad]

35 in a row, $1,400,801 in earnings now.

So far some sports categories have been his only weaknesses. 

[Jumper_Dad]

37 games in row...

[Jumper_Dad]

Streak is over, won 38 games, 2nd longest streak ever.

Over $1,400,000 third most won on a regular show win streak.
