A Great White Hero: Matt Amodio Wins 31st Straight Match on Jeopardy—Over $1 Million Won

GRA: As good as James Holzhauer—but with a more humble personality—Matt Amodio has gone on an epic run that, if he wins tomorrow, will tie Holzhauer for second most wins in history. After that, he needs about 45 more to reach Ken Jennings.

Watch him if you can—a great White hero to applaud and root for.

His style is not quick, in fact, it appears he’s trying to take all five seconds allowed to think of the question. But 99.9% of the time, he does it.

It’s just what Jeopardy needed. It will take two very intelligent people to beat him.

His run has been very impressive but if he wins more games than Jennings, are they going to take away his "greatest ever" trophy? Guess we'll never really know who is better, Jennings works for Jeopardy so can't compete anymore. I am looking forward to seeing Matt square off with Holzhauer someday, should be quite a battle. I just hope they don't do that diversity team competition thing again, just go by merit and keep it mostly White and Asian men.
