Stop us if you’ve heard this one before, but a Jeopardy! contestant is absolutely dominating the field right now.
Current champion Amy Schneider of Oakland, California is currently riding a 19-game winning streak in the venerable American quiz show.

She currently has nearly $750,000 in regular season winnings and her dominance in the Final Jeopardy! round is shocking even current Jeopardy! guest host and forever Goat Ken Jennings.
In nearly any other of Jeopardy!’s 38 seasons, Amy Schneider would be the biggest story of the year. And yet, she’s not even the most decorated winner of this current season. That honor goes to Matt Amodio, who earlier this year ended his remarkable run at 38 games (good for second all time behind Jennings) and $1,518,601 earned (good for third all time behind Jennings and James Holzhauer...

And the winner is…. Sam Buttrey, an Associate Professor of Operations Research at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, CA, has come out on top of Jeopardy!‘s inaugural Professors Tournament, earning the $100,000 grand prize. Ed Hashima, a Professor of History at American River College in Sacramento, CA, placed second and earned $50,000; Alisa Hove, a Professor of Botany at Warren Wilson College in Asheville, Nc, came in third, taking home $25,000.
“This has been the greatest time, and to come out ahead of all these other great players is something I’ll remember forever,” said Buttrey. “The group was uniformly so smart, charming, and warm, and there’s been a real feeling of camaraderie from the very beginning.”
As Professors Tournament champ, Buttrey has earned an automatic berth in Jeopardy!’s prestigious Tournament of Champions. He’ll be facing recent super-streakers Matt Amodio, Jonathan Fisher, and current 13-game champion Amy Schneider.
