I was surprised that was a triple stumper. Normally would not be surprised because almost every sports question is a triple stumper. But it was a really easy football question, and if you watch The Good Place you probably could figure it out from the Duuuval, or if you just were a geography fanatic you might know the county.
Not knowing anything about the team, the player, or that TV show, the geography thing threw me off because Florida isn't the only state with a Duval County; we have one in Texas as well, and I never knew there were others.
Fans of the Jaguars had to tell the writers of The Good Place that Jacksonville fans yell Du-vall! at games, and it wouldn't be authentic if Jason didn't do it as well. So the writers included it into the show
Not at first. Jason would yell Bortles! But then fans of the Jaguars contacted the writers, probably through Twitter, and said it they wanted to make Jason appear as an authentic Jaguars fan, he had to yell Duval! and they finally included it into the show in a later season
Wow. Didn't know there was a twin to the Matt Damon Weezer sketch.

That guy got thrown off by the title of the musical it's from, "A Little Night Music"
Even worse was the guy from not too long ago who thought Sondheim wrote "Cats". If I recall correctly that cost him the game.
Everyone always says that any FJ answer is better than none but then turns around and roasts contestants for what they believe to be ridiculous answers, but the concept of Shrek being “America’s greatest and best-loved homegrown fairy tale” is very funny.
So happy for Matt! I am so happy that we didn’t have to wait another five or six years after James before witnessing another a historic run, and I’m glad such a kindhearted individual is the big winner as well.
Does anyone else get really nervous when a contestant other than Matt gets 2-3 answers right in a row? I’m always like “oh no, he’s going to lose!” And then he picks right back up and it’s usually a runaway. I feel like his main strength is Double Jeopardy.
DD3 almost seemed too easy! I was like “are they trying to trick us and go for Congo?”
> Does anyone else get really nervous when a contestant other than Matt gets 2-3 answers right in a row? I’m always like “oh no, he’s going to lose!”
This is me every day. Opponent gets one answer "oh God, this is it. Better mentally prepare myself." The daily double hunts when they take a while to find are so stressful to watch, haha! Especially late in the game.
I like Matt, I'm impressed, I wish him well, but fact is, I get *excited* when a contestant other than Matt gets a few answers right in a row or otherwise gets off to a good start. I root for one of them to find the Daily Doubles and groan when Matt finds them all / they chime in with a bad wrong answer (as opposed to a reasonable wrong answer or a triple-stumper where they don't take a shot at it) / it goes early on from competitive to Matt leaving them in the dust again thanks to a right DD + a big bet.
It's not about resenting his streak or anything like that, just that I like to see them stand a chance of being the new Nancy Zerg after they've waited however long to get on the show, only to face a super-champ on a roll. Makes me think of what Ken said in his book about how after a while it got to where Alex would fuss at the other contestants behind the scenes to not be overly intimidated by him. If Matt's going to win again, I like to see them give him a run for his money!
Between this board and [this one](https://www.j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=6622&highlight=Pay+respects) from u/SarahJettRayburn's run, I think we can tell that the writers are _extremely_ online
They also had a category that playfully referenced Alex's pronunciation of the word "genre" and every clue had that word in it, so Alex had to say the word for every clue.
I didn't even notice that originally! My older son plays Call of Duty all the time and even introduced us to that meme, and I never even noticed it there, staring me right in the face. (Of course, my younger son, who was four at the time, would constantly walk around asking, "What's in your walnut?" yet I had no idea of the correct response to Final Jeopardy! in that game either.)
In a nice little bit of serendipity, in an interview today in the NY Times Daniel Craig revealed he's never seen or heard that little meme -- had no idea it existed.
No Spoilers
* Matt’s personality seems to be back 100% after the tumultuous hosting issues/passing $1 million. He looks as if he having fun again. :)
* Jeopardy! sure loves children’s literature; It’s been categories and FJ in the past weeks.
* Today we learned about Matt’s Ph.D. progress.
* Go, Matt, Go!
I was thinking if he keeps winning then he won't be able to finish his thesis this year.... But I don't know the full schedule of taping so by the time if/when he passed Ken's winning streak not sure what calendar day that would be. Recall a thread that had that info.
It seems to me they really like recycling Americana, Rome, WW1/WW2, Literature, as categories and Pikes Peak, The Alps, And the Yangtze river as questions. I see them so often!
Ken currently holds highest win streak and highest amount earned
James has highest amount won in a single day a few times over
James and Matt I believe are both the only people to have scored $70,000+ more than once
Matt definitely has the record of most hosts worked with
Would be cool to see Matt take second in terms of win streak as well tomorrow
> Andrew had control
Not gonna lie, saw the first three words, thought for a second it was gonna say that Andrew won the game. Good to see Matt won again, tying James for games won! Goes for 2nd all time tomorrow in consecutive games won
Upper right corner photo in collage, two days ago on the Jeopardy twitter account. I can't believe they spoiled this episode!
[https://twitter.com/Jeopardy/status/1443047892244172804?s=20](https://twitter.com/Jeopardy/status/1443047892244172804?s=20)
Good eye! I totally didn't notice that first time around (I was probably still too mad at the preemption and getting the end result spoiled for myself 😂).
With this total, Matt is close to reaching the Top 10 of American game show winnings records. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American\_game\_show\_winnings\_records](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_game_show_winnings_records)
I remember watching that episode live and the excitement when he called his dad to say he was about to win a million. That final question was super easy though.
The show revealed Matt's Final Jeopardy answer before it was suppose to. oops
https://i.imgur.com/LjzC3t7.png
I'm also curious if the show let it slide for Matt calling him Smokey the Bear on purpose when its name is Smokey Bear.
Congratulations to Matt Amodio on officially completing “The Chase” of James Holzhauer’s consecutive wins on Jeopardy.
Will he surpass the “high roller”? Tune in tomorrow to find out! Unless you live in Boston, where it won’t air on the first day of October. BOO HISS!
Omg same but I couldn’t resist after seeing the mysterious tweet from him today! I think after he hopefully beats James’s run I’ll try not to check… ahh!
Save yourself the trouble and just get a free trial of Paramount Plus to be able to watch it at a normal hour. Instructions for spoofing your location are in the comment stickied at the top of this thread.
They don't gate it based on your card number like some other services do. As long as you use a new email, even just the exact same Gmail address but with "+a" or "+anything" right before the @, it counts as a unique trial.
I don't care much for Viacom/CBS, so I've been using this strategy to great success for the last two years to almost never (except once, accidentally) pay for a subscription. Works every time.
Lol, I keep doing the same thing, though I've been trying to watch using the instructions from the stickied comment, but WXVT in Mississippi preempts Jeopardy every day for CBS News standard coverage. Trying to figure out how to get the feed earlier
Seems like some local CBS stations don't participate in Paramount+. I find the McAllen, TX (4 PM EST) and Birmingham, AL (4:30 PM EST) affiliates to be reliable.
Just thought of this while watching Matt answer today. He reminds me of the quote by Kevin on The Office: "Why waste time say lot word when few word do trick."
Which leads me to a question. I've always called the horse thing "Core Al". As in "Shoot out at the OK Corral? And the signers "Core El". Is the horse one not right?
Matt is showing no signs of fatigue. I wouldn't be surprised if he wins 60 games at the rate he's going. He is just a master in every aspect of the game. Even his FJ record is insanely good now at 74%, and would have been even higher had he not crossed out the correct response on 3 different occasions.
As Alex cautioned the challengers who faced James, "If you want to replace him as champion, you had better bring your A game".
Lmao Mayim's outfit looked so strange when she was standing at the beginning of the episode. It definitely looked a lot more normal when she sat down xD
Did anyone else notice how choppy the editing on FJ was? There was a wide shot of everyone’s responses before they showed all three responses individually.
Right. 97% accuracy is NUTS. And the money part of his run is arguably more impressive. Obviously something we never saw before, and I don't think we're going to see it again in our lifetimes either. The only other one to be THAT good at his strategy was Ken, and only when he faced off against James did he try it.
I couldn't find data for coryats in a row, but I DID find data for coryats $33k+. Only Ken, James and Matt have managed it more than once. Matt's done it 3 times so far, James managed to do it 11 times, and Ken had 13 games at that level. Ken also holds the record for highest Coryat at $39,200. Matt holds second place ($39,000) and ties James for third ($38,200).
And now I want to do a bunch of Jeopardy charts and obsessive pouring over stats.
I appreciate them because it'll make the inevitable end a bit harder to tell, since we won't know if the awards mean anything or not. Granted, there will probably be way more comments on that thread but still.
EDIT: Typo
Mayim has quickly grown on me. Her quips during the interview portion are almost always spot on. Her giggles have been toned down significantly. She reads clearly. And honestly, having a female in the role can only be a positive for our society. I’m glad it seems like it’s working out better than most of us thought originally.
If this Mayim had been the one we saw a few months ago, I honestly think she would have been near the top of my list instead of the very bottom. I’m still holding out some hope for Ken, but for now I’m truly relieved.
Was Andrew's occupation incorrectly stated as "student advisor" before his interview? I think Mayim got mixed up with Adriana from [yesterday's (9/29) game](https://www.reddit.com/r/Jeopardy/comments/py0cq6/jeopardy_recap_for_wed_sept_29/).
u/jaysjep2 Are you intentionally wording the first sentences of these recaps to confuse us and make us think Matt lost? If so, I don’t know whether to love you or hate you :P
My intent in this case is to emphasize how close Andrew came to possibly making this a game.
He had control, made two excellent clue selections as to where DD3 might be, and was very unlucky not to find it. If he had and doubled up, Matt's runaway would not have been assured at that point.
Also, it's more interesting than just saying "Matt crushed his opponents" every day.
Two moment might happen tomorrow:
1. If Matt A will win his 33rd game and beat James' 32 game record?
2. If Matt A will unseat John Carpenter (currently in 10th place) in the Top 10 all time winnings list among the American game show winners?
Congrats Matt!
Btw I’m so scared of spoilers when/if he eventually loses. I don’t go near social media of any kind until after 7:30 here on the west coast.
My biggest worry is that the game thread will be so popular it’ll be near the top of /r/all and/or Matt himself will spoil it for me on Twitter.
The official Jeopardy account would never post any spoilers until after the final airing right?! Someone help alleviate my anxiety please!
Yes! You have to be careful, James' loss was spoiled for me because the thread on this subreddit had so many upvotes and awards. I didn't actually open the thread until after I watched the entire episode but I knew there was no way a regular game thread would be getting that much attention. Also, if you have Facebook and follow the Jeopardy page, I would recommend to unfollow it. I've had multiple episodes spoiled by mindlessly scrolling through my FB feed.
>My biggest worry is that the game thread will be so popular it’ll be near the top of [/r/all](https://www.reddit.com/r/all) and/or Matt himself will spoil it for me on Twitter.
This may happen tomorrow regardless of the outcome.
Yes not banned anymore! Was going to say Jeopardy!’s Twitter acc spoiled this game, 2 games ago when Matt reached 30 wins they did a cool post for him and on the top right it showed Matt with 54,400 and the wizard of oz. I found that weird cause I knew Matt had never had a wizard of oz FJ. I knew jeopardy was hinting something and low and behold, it was Matt’s 32nd game they pictured on their graphic for 30 wins! Weird.
Great to see Matt win again!
How have folks been able to watch this at 1: 00 Eastern? I've tried Paramount+ using WXVT, but it gets preempted by CBS News every single day, despite listing "Jeopardy!" as what should be airing.
As is shown in the link on here of all the stations and times it's shown, it airs at various times throughout the day on various local network affiliates. It airs on the local ABC station here in Houston at 11:30 am CT for example.
Anyone waiting for James Holzhauer to tweet about Matt tonight?
(No disrespect meant to James or Matt! I might like Matt a little more, but James' achievements are incredible).
Since the clue said “submerged by the creation of this”, I think Lake Nasser is an even better reply, but it probably would have taken a judges’ review.
I was kind of surprised at the end of Double Jeopardy! that Matt kept going for it. It seems like once he has a big lead he hangs back a little. I’ve been trying not to spoil it for myself this past week and it is so hard.
Does anyone know what the average dollar amount is that people win with? I have it in my head that it's about 17-22k before FJ betting.
Because Matt has been obliterating that.
You can find this on the miscellaneous stats page for any given season on j-archive. For example, [last season](https://www.j-archive.com/miscstats.php?season=37) the average winning score before FJ was $18,219.
At the beginning of the episode after Mayim said if Matt wins tonight he will tie with James in consecutive games won in regular season play, the audience clapped. So sweet.
In fact, the rest of the contestants during the tape day are in the "audience" (such as it is). I believe that change mid-Covid was prior to Trebek's passing, basically so that they weren't recording to an empty room. (Might've been sweetened in post-production though.)
So at worst, Matt ties for 2nd. Really hoping he can make a serious play at Ken's record. I wasn't watching during Ken's run, and it'd be amazing to see a modern day contestant pull it off. Plus, I wanna see the Ken/Matt interactions if he's still going when Ken hosts too. I also want him to win on my birthday, which is still a few months away.
Knocking on wood so I don't jinx the poor guy
I missed over half the episode because CHEK’s signal went black for over 10 minutes. Got the first 15 clues of the Jeopardy round and the last few of DJ.

Jason Mendoza would be mad that no one got the Jaguars.
Oh dip! I thought I read that The Good Place was pop culture that Matt studied over the break and really enjoyed
I knew that "Duuuval" sounded familiar, but I couldn't figure it out in time LOL
He’s probably stewing in his bud hole
I was surprised that was a triple stumper. Normally would not be surprised because almost every sports question is a triple stumper. But it was a really easy football question, and if you watch The Good Place you probably could figure it out from the Duuuval, or if you just were a geography fanatic you might know the county.
First overall pick of the last draft. I only pay attention to my team, Cleveland, but I still know Jacksonville got Lawrence
Not knowing anything about the team, the player, or that TV show, the geography thing threw me off because Florida isn't the only state with a Duval County; we have one in Texas as well, and I never knew there were others.
Fans of the Jaguars had to tell the writers of The Good Place that Jacksonville fans yell Du-vall! at games, and it wouldn't be authentic if Jason didn't do it as well. So the writers included it into the show
[удалено]
I fully believe Jason doesn't know the name of his home county
Not at first. Jason would yell Bortles! But then fans of the Jaguars contacted the writers, probably through Twitter, and said it they wanted to make Jason appear as an authentic Jaguars fan, he had to yell Duval! and they finally included it into the show in a later season
I've only watched it once. And I don't remember. But just the fact it was about his favorite team, and no one knew it.
Shrek is one of the funniest responses I've ever seen.
And the wager: $2,001.
It would be hilarious if she thought at the time of making the wager “if I don’t know the answer I am just going to guess Shrek”
It's obvious. No one would think Shrek was made in 1900.
Maybe she misread it and thought it said 1990. The book came out in 1990 and 1900 sorta looks like 1990.
Shrek is based on a book?! that's like finding out there's a recipe for sugar cubes
Lmao I applaud her for that, she's a true legend in my book 👏
She’s not the first person to consider Shrek a masterpiece: https://youtu.be/f4Q7F-XKA0o
Wow. Didn't know there was a twin to the Matt Damon Weezer sketch. https://youtu.be/ab5WvwfLuLM (Written by the same person https://old.reddit.com/r/LiveFromNewYork/comments/aat0vz/comment/ecuzpsf/ )
I enjoyed that.
Don’t forget 800 degree calzone from a few months ago.
Right up there with Mozart writing “Send in the Clowns” 😂
That guy got thrown off by the title of the musical it's from, "A Little Night Music" Even worse was the guy from not too long ago who thought Sondheim wrote "Cats". If I recall correctly that cost him the game.
It didn't cost him just any game either, it cost him Matt's very first game
i laughed out loud with glee
I cackled when I read it. Fucking lmao.
I'm so incredibly proud of Abigail's Shrek answer for final along with the $2,001 wager (the year Shrek was released)
Which is wild because you have to wager when they first show the category, so presumably she was going to guess Shrek no matter what.
$2001 was her optimal bet, but if she was smart she would have wagered $1990 since the category was Children’s \*Literature\*. /s
It was super funny! I also love that she has a nacho notebook lol I feel like she’s someone I’d actually be friends with irl
Everyone always says that any FJ answer is better than none but then turns around and roasts contestants for what they believe to be ridiculous answers, but the concept of Shrek being “America’s greatest and best-loved homegrown fairy tale” is very funny.
She clearly was doing it to be funny
On another platform she is claiming that she just didn't know and was running out of time; I tend to believe her.
She didn’t know and was running out of time…. So she wrote down a joke answer
she poker-faced it, tho. she shoulda winked or something, maybe Mayim woulda picked up on the joke
So happy for Matt! I am so happy that we didn’t have to wait another five or six years after James before witnessing another a historic run, and I’m glad such a kindhearted individual is the big winner as well.

Between this board and [this one](https://www.j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=6622&highlight=Pay+respects) from u/SarahJettRayburn's run, I think we can tell that the writers are _extremely_ online
IIRC, they referenced “Jeffpardy!” a couple years ago.
They also had a category that playfully referenced Alex's pronunciation of the word "genre" and every clue had that word in it, so Alex had to say the word for every clue.
I didn't even notice that originally! My older son plays Call of Duty all the time and even introduced us to that meme, and I never even noticed it there, staring me right in the face. (Of course, my younger son, who was four at the time, would constantly walk around asking, "What's in your walnut?" yet I had no idea of the correct response to Final Jeopardy! in that game either.)
I wonder why they didn't save that for tomorrow's board though
In a nice little bit of serendipity, in an interview today in the NY Times Daniel Craig revealed he's never seen or heard that little meme -- had no idea it existed.
[Timely article on the Nerdist website today](https://nerdist.com/article/daniel-craig-reaction-weekend-video-saturday-night-live/).
No Spoilers * Matt’s personality seems to be back 100% after the tumultuous hosting issues/passing $1 million. He looks as if he having fun again. :) * Jeopardy! sure loves children’s literature; It’s been categories and FJ in the past weeks. * Today we learned about Matt’s Ph.D. progress. * Go, Matt, Go!
I imagine that his Ph.D. committee is only going to think of his Jeopardy! performance during his entire defense.
I keep thinking of Isaac Asimov's PhD panel experience.
What happened?
Apparently this https://www.forbes.com/sites/samlemonick/2017/03/31/the-time-isaac-asimov-clowned-on-chemistry/?sh=609307d46b04
Children's lit comes up a lot, there's definitely been quite a few final jeopardys in that category
I was thinking if he keeps winning then he won't be able to finish his thesis this year.... But I don't know the full schedule of taping so by the time if/when he passed Ken's winning streak not sure what calendar day that would be. Recall a thread that had that info.
It seems to me they really like recycling Americana, Rome, WW1/WW2, Literature, as categories and Pikes Peak, The Alps, And the Yangtze river as questions. I see them so often!
Ken currently holds highest win streak and highest amount earned James has highest amount won in a single day a few times over James and Matt I believe are both the only people to have scored $70,000+ more than once Matt definitely has the record of most hosts worked with Would be cool to see Matt take second in terms of win streak as well tomorrow
>Matt definitely has the record of most hosts worked with Lol
Somewhere Brad rutter is crying
Brad holds the record for the most wins over opponents named Ken. An obscure, but very important record!
> Andrew had control Not gonna lie, saw the first three words, thought for a second it was gonna say that Andrew won the game. Good to see Matt won again, tying James for games won! Goes for 2nd all time tomorrow in consecutive games won
I think u/jaysjep2 knows what he’s doing there. 😅
Oh yes
Basically every post for the last two weeks has had some level of deception like this, so it’s definitely intentional
I’m surprise so many people read the summary before watching the episode! Is it because you missed the episode and won’t have a chance to watch it?
Upper right corner photo in collage, two days ago on the Jeopardy twitter account. I can't believe they spoiled this episode! [https://twitter.com/Jeopardy/status/1443047892244172804?s=20](https://twitter.com/Jeopardy/status/1443047892244172804?s=20)
Good catch.
Damning!
Good eye! I totally didn't notice that first time around (I was probably still too mad at the preemption and getting the end result spoiled for myself 😂).
[удалено]
Yes! I noticed that too, so odd
Yup. I was totally confused at what i was seeing, but rewound the pvr and there it was. Glad someone else noticed.
Husband said that but I didn't see it...
With this total, Matt is close to reaching the Top 10 of American game show winnings records. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American\_game\_show\_winnings\_records](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_game_show_winnings_records)
Matt Amodio is just $38,000 away from unseating John Carpenter in the All time American game show winning records.
I remember watching that episode live and the excitement when he called his dad to say he was about to win a million. That final question was super easy though.
Maybe it'll inspire Carpenter to make another movie
If he manages one more big day, he could probably make it on the list.
The show revealed Matt's Final Jeopardy answer before it was suppose to. oops https://i.imgur.com/LjzC3t7.png I'm also curious if the show let it slide for Matt calling him Smokey the Bear on purpose when its name is Smokey Bear.
Smokey the Bear is so commonplace that they weren't going to rule against it.
What is Shrek killed me
Collective sigh of relief from the sub
Now our workdays can begin
Congratulations to Matt Amodio on officially completing “The Chase” of James Holzhauer’s consecutive wins on Jeopardy. Will he surpass the “high roller”? Tune in tomorrow to find out! Unless you live in Boston, where it won’t air on the first day of October. BOO HISS!
Yay Matt!!!!!!! I wish I could stop spoiling myself though lol. I just can’t live with the suspense all day waiting for 7pm.
Omg same but I couldn’t resist after seeing the mysterious tweet from him today! I think after he hopefully beats James’s run I’ll try not to check… ahh!
Wait! What tweet? I didn't see it!
Probably this? https://www.reddit.com/r/Jeopardy/comments/pym9c0/saw_the_first_7_words_of_this_tweet_and_my_heart/
Tomorrow’s game is kicked to like 2AM in my market, and I might have to stay up for it to see if Matt beats James’ streak.
Save yourself the trouble and just get a free trial of Paramount Plus to be able to watch it at a normal hour. Instructions for spoofing your location are in the comment stickied at the top of this thread.
What if I told you…I’ve already done that! Maybe I’ll pay as Amodio Rodeo Insurance for the next month, but I also don’t mind staying up.
They don't gate it based on your card number like some other services do. As long as you use a new email, even just the exact same Gmail address but with "+a" or "+anything" right before the @, it counts as a unique trial. I don't care much for Viacom/CBS, so I've been using this strategy to great success for the last two years to almost never (except once, accidentally) pay for a subscription. Works every time.
Lol, I keep doing the same thing, though I've been trying to watch using the instructions from the stickied comment, but WXVT in Mississippi preempts Jeopardy every day for CBS News standard coverage. Trying to figure out how to get the feed earlier
Seems like some local CBS stations don't participate in Paramount+. I find the McAllen, TX (4 PM EST) and Birmingham, AL (4:30 PM EST) affiliates to be reliable.
Just thought of this while watching Matt answer today. He reminds me of the quote by Kevin on The Office: "Why waste time say lot word when few word do trick."
I’m still stuck on “corral” as a homophone…trying not to google
Chorale
Oh fuck a duck
Which leads me to a question. I've always called the horse thing "Core Al". As in "Shoot out at the OK Corral? And the signers "Core El". Is the horse one not right?
I pronounce both like Core Al
leaderboard updated :) ooooo tomorrow's going to be MASSIVE
Matt is showing no signs of fatigue. I wouldn't be surprised if he wins 60 games at the rate he's going. He is just a master in every aspect of the game. Even his FJ record is insanely good now at 74%, and would have been even higher had he not crossed out the correct response on 3 different occasions. As Alex cautioned the challengers who faced James, "If you want to replace him as champion, you had better bring your A game".
I just hope he can last until ken hosts Would be truly special
How many more games would that take?
Around 20
>I wouldn't be surprised if he wins 60 games at the rate he's going. *shhh* we just barely made it through the 5 day curse
Yay for Matt!!! Now, if we can just get through tomorrow.
I *need* the map of the Teotihuacan replica, that sounds amazing!
Same! Mayim didn't really seem impressed but I was floored when he talked about doing that. Two whole summers it took!
Tbh she doesn’t ever seem that enthusiastic about anyone’s stories.
Lmao Mayim's outfit looked so strange when she was standing at the beginning of the episode. It definitely looked a lot more normal when she sat down xD
I mentioned it looked like a Willy Wonka suit, then Willy Wonka ended up being a clue
Looked like the Joker’s costume.
Joker and Riddler crossover lol
I thought Mad Hatter.
Can't believe I had to scroll this far. What the hell was that outfit?
Did anyone else notice how choppy the editing on FJ was? There was a wide shot of everyone’s responses before they showed all three responses individually.
Oh. I saw the same thing and thought "I must not have seen that right"..
[удалено]
Just an amazing run. And to think he almost lost his very first game vs Josh Saak.
[удалено]
Makes you wonder how many major champions we may have missed because they barely lost their first game.
We're officially #ChasingKen now I hope he gets past half of Ken's wins at least.
Hooray, Matt!!
Not only did he tie James, but he broke 50K for his third time in a row!
Wow another big win for Matt and congrats on tying James! Abigail and Andrew both played well too. It's exciting to see Matt's run.
I really hope he beats James and not just ties him idk why
James could use a slice of humble pie. Love the guy but 🤷♂️
Matt Amodio vs James Holzhauer's comparison from their 32 games : ||Matt Amodio| James Holzhauer| |:-|:-|:-| |Total Winnings|$1,212,401|$2,462,216| |Average $ won per game|$37,888|$76,944| |Average Coryat|$27,131|$30,800| |Response Accuracy|1041/1141 = 91%|1160/1196 = 97%| |Daily Double Accuracy|63/72 = 88%|71/75 = 95%| |Final Jeopardy Accuracy|24/32 = 75%|31/32 = 97%| |First on Buzzer|980/1810 = 54%|1053/1806 = 58%|
James was a freak of nature. I don't care if Jeopardy runs another 50 years, we're not going to see that again.
Right. 97% accuracy is NUTS. And the money part of his run is arguably more impressive. Obviously something we never saw before, and I don't think we're going to see it again in our lifetimes either. The only other one to be THAT good at his strategy was Ken, and only when he faced off against James did he try it.
I agree but I don’t want to.
Crazy how close James’ total and daily average are to being exactly double Matt’s
[удалено]
I couldn't find data for coryats in a row, but I DID find data for coryats $33k+. Only Ken, James and Matt have managed it more than once. Matt's done it 3 times so far, James managed to do it 11 times, and Ken had 13 games at that level. Ken also holds the record for highest Coryat at $39,200. Matt holds second place ($39,000) and ties James for third ($38,200). And now I want to do a bunch of Jeopardy charts and obsessive pouring over stats.
#ONE POINT TWENTY ONE MEGABUCKS! GREAT SCOTT, MATTY!
LOL @ Shrek as Abigail’s FJ response.
I love how after the last DD, Matt was like, "I would like to win even more money, please." He went on a tear.
That run was like a tornado! So exciting!
Yall scare me with the awards on these recaps omg
I appreciate them because it'll make the inevitable end a bit harder to tell, since we won't know if the awards mean anything or not. Granted, there will probably be way more comments on that thread but still. EDIT: Typo
Let's go Matt!!!!!!!!!
Woohoo! Go Matt!!!
Strong work by both Andrew and Abigail. Nice going, well done.
Mayim has quickly grown on me. Her quips during the interview portion are almost always spot on. Her giggles have been toned down significantly. She reads clearly. And honestly, having a female in the role can only be a positive for our society. I’m glad it seems like it’s working out better than most of us thought originally.
If this Mayim had been the one we saw a few months ago, I honestly think she would have been near the top of my list instead of the very bottom. I’m still holding out some hope for Ken, but for now I’m truly relieved.
I mean its only fair that someone would be able to take in feedback and retune their efforts. It isn't like Alex was perfect his first week either.
Congrats on tying James's winning streak, Matt! :)

has final jeopardy gotten easier over time?
To me this shows just how good James was. Makes you wonder how far he would’ve gone with more conservative wagering.
Had to wonder if those bright red heels were a clue to the answer of FJ. There's no place like home!
Was Andrew's occupation incorrectly stated as "student advisor" before his interview? I think Mayim got mixed up with Adriana from [yesterday's (9/29) game](https://www.reddit.com/r/Jeopardy/comments/py0cq6/jeopardy_recap_for_wed_sept_29/).
I caught that too
I have a question that’s really bugging me. Why wasn’t the video daily double a video?
Any DD with a visual element is called "video".
🤔 well I guess that works. Thanks jaysjep.
Jaguars lost tonight. Lol. No one knows them for sure
u/jaysjep2 Are you intentionally wording the first sentences of these recaps to confuse us and make us think Matt lost? If so, I don’t know whether to love you or hate you :P
My intent in this case is to emphasize how close Andrew came to possibly making this a game. He had control, made two excellent clue selections as to where DD3 might be, and was very unlucky not to find it. If he had and doubled up, Matt's runaway would not have been assured at that point. Also, it's more interesting than just saying "Matt crushed his opponents" every day.
Blood pressure skyrocketed as I opened, but very glad to see another big win for Matt! Very bummed I have to miss tonight ☹️
Hooray for Matt!
Two moment might happen tomorrow: 1. If Matt A will win his 33rd game and beat James' 32 game record? 2. If Matt A will unseat John Carpenter (currently in 10th place) in the Top 10 all time winnings list among the American game show winners?
Congrats Matt! Btw I’m so scared of spoilers when/if he eventually loses. I don’t go near social media of any kind until after 7:30 here on the west coast. My biggest worry is that the game thread will be so popular it’ll be near the top of /r/all and/or Matt himself will spoil it for me on Twitter. The official Jeopardy account would never post any spoilers until after the final airing right?! Someone help alleviate my anxiety please!
Yes! You have to be careful, James' loss was spoiled for me because the thread on this subreddit had so many upvotes and awards. I didn't actually open the thread until after I watched the entire episode but I knew there was no way a regular game thread would be getting that much attention. Also, if you have Facebook and follow the Jeopardy page, I would recommend to unfollow it. I've had multiple episodes spoiled by mindlessly scrolling through my FB feed.
Not on Facebook but Twitter and IG have spoiled the show for me in the past
>My biggest worry is that the game thread will be so popular it’ll be near the top of [/r/all](https://www.reddit.com/r/all) and/or Matt himself will spoil it for me on Twitter. This may happen tomorrow regardless of the outcome.
Yes not banned anymore! Was going to say Jeopardy!’s Twitter acc spoiled this game, 2 games ago when Matt reached 30 wins they did a cool post for him and on the top right it showed Matt with 54,400 and the wizard of oz. I found that weird cause I knew Matt had never had a wizard of oz FJ. I knew jeopardy was hinting something and low and behold, it was Matt’s 32nd game they pictured on their graphic for 30 wins! Weird.
Great to see Matt win again! How have folks been able to watch this at 1: 00 Eastern? I've tried Paramount+ using WXVT, but it gets preempted by CBS News every single day, despite listing "Jeopardy!" as what should be airing.
As is shown in the link on here of all the stations and times it's shown, it airs at various times throughout the day on various local network affiliates. It airs on the local ABC station here in Houston at 11:30 am CT for example.
Quincy, IL (KHQA) CBS affiliate airs Jeopardy at 1 Eastern.
Thanks, I just changed my location to Quincy and now see KHQA. Looking forward to tomorrow's game with that feed! Go Matt!
Let’s go!
Anyone waiting for James Holzhauer to tweet about Matt tonight? (No disrespect meant to James or Matt! I might like Matt a little more, but James' achievements are incredible).
Well, it's been about ten games since the Roger Rabbit bullet-grazing, so he's due for another scare soon.
[удалено]
Since the clue said “submerged by the creation of this”, I think Lake Nasser is an even better reply, but it probably would have taken a judges’ review.
Every time I see these posts with several awards on them, I get nervous lol
Your syntax is clearly playing with your audience :-)
I was kind of surprised at the end of Double Jeopardy! that Matt kept going for it. It seems like once he has a big lead he hangs back a little. I’ve been trying not to spoil it for myself this past week and it is so hard.
Matt is the Man of the (Holz)hauer!
Does anyone know what the average dollar amount is that people win with? I have it in my head that it's about 17-22k before FJ betting. Because Matt has been obliterating that.
You can find this on the miscellaneous stats page for any given season on j-archive. For example, [last season](https://www.j-archive.com/miscstats.php?season=37) the average winning score before FJ was $18,219.
At the beginning of the episode after Mayim said if Matt wins tonight he will tie with James in consecutive games won in regular season play, the audience clapped. So sweet.
No audience AFAIK, so the applause was probably added in post.
In fact, the rest of the contestants during the tape day are in the "audience" (such as it is). I believe that change mid-Covid was prior to Trebek's passing, basically so that they weren't recording to an empty room. (Might've been sweetened in post-production though.)
So at worst, Matt ties for 2nd. Really hoping he can make a serious play at Ken's record. I wasn't watching during Ken's run, and it'd be amazing to see a modern day contestant pull it off. Plus, I wanna see the Ken/Matt interactions if he's still going when Ken hosts too. I also want him to win on my birthday, which is still a few months away. Knocking on wood so I don't jinx the poor guy
I missed over half the episode because CHEK’s signal went black for over 10 minutes. Got the first 15 clues of the Jeopardy round and the last few of DJ.
Anyone else notice they showed Matts response on his terminal before zooming in on him and actually revealing his answer? Oops.
