Yesterday was a big day for Amy Schneider. She won her 39th consecutive game on Jeopardy. Why is that such a big deal? That is because she is now in second place for consecutive wins behind only Ken Jennings.
How many games does she have to win to become #1? His record stands at 75, and I don’t foresee anyone taking him down anytime soon.
When it comes to money totals, Schneider is in fourth place behind Matt Amodio. Amodio is the person she knocked out of second place. And since she needs about $200,000 more to take over third place, I think his position is safe.
Am I the only one who feels like this is happening a lot more frequently? Part of the reason is that Jeopardy used to have a 5-game limit. However, in 2003, they got rid of that rule. Do you think they need to bring it back?
Yesterday on Jeopardy, they wanted to see how well the contestants knew the Billboard Top 200 Albums in 2021. How well did they do? Amy Schneider, the winningest woman in the game show’s history, got four out of the five correct. The one question she missed was a greatest hits one, so technically, it wasn’t even 2021 related.
Sadly for me, that is the only I got. I am old! I am calling Shady Pines and making an appointment to check out my new digs.
I don’t know about you, but I normally bomb at Jeopardy. Not yesterday during the New Year’s Rockin’ Eve category. It was so easy; even someone like me could nail it. Now, I am going to into 2022 feeling smart! Thank you, Jeopardy.
Yesterday on Jeopardy, there was a category on the show called Musical 3-INITIALers. The $800 clue showed a photo of Machine Gun Kelly, and Ken Jennings asked, “The stage name of this rapper and actor gets shortened to MGK.” Not one contestant even tried to guess. Leading to the host saying to them, “Not fans of Machine Gun Kelly apparently.”
Let’s be honest. Does he have any fans besides Megan Fox and Pete Davidson?
Jeopardy started the season with Mike Richards hosting the show and also as the executive producer. But he was fired after the first week for things he said in the past.
Therefore, the game show decided to split the hosting duties between Mayim Bialik and Ken Jennings for the rest of 2021. Since they are doing such a good job, Sony said they can finish out the season.
I am sure as soon as Call Me Kat is not renewed for a third season on Fox; Sony will make Bialik the full-time host with Jennings filling in only as needed.
When it comes to the EP of the game show, Michael Davies will continue in the role.
