‘Jeopardy!’ champ Matt Amodio breaks top 10 record, reveals lessons learned from Ken Jennings, James Holzhauer

"Jeopardy!" champion Matt Amodio described the lessons he learned about the game form Ken Jennings and James Holzhauer.

Currently, the record for highest winnings and consecutive games won is none other than the famous "Jeopardy!" star Ken Jennings, who had an impressive 74-game streak in 2004. Right behind him in both categories is 2019 breakout, James Holzhauer, who ended his run on the show with $2,462,216, just shy of Jennings’ $2,520,700.  Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Amodio notes that he has been a longtime "Jeopardy!" fan, but didn’t think he had what it takes to even be considered in the same conversation as Jennings and Holzhauer, who he considers titans of the quiz show. In fact, he told the outlet that he auditioned for the show reluctantly before going on his winning streak. Now he says he’s just trying to learn every lesson from the two "Jeopardy!" champs that he can.
