"Jeopardy!" contestant Ryan Long opened up about his 16-game winning streak after losing the game show competition on Monday. Before his appearance, Long was a ride-share driver.

"I saw somebody say that I threw the game," he told USA Today. "I didn't throw the game. I didn't lay down for it, but I wasn't sad that I lost either. I felt like I was maybe ready to go, but I didn't lay down. But I knew I wasn't on my top form that day, when the Daily Double with Dr. King came up."
"I've done projects on Dr. King. I've studied Dr. King. My mother told me about Dr. King growing up. I knew he went to Boston and lived there, but when I got that question, when I blanked on it, I was like, "Alright, well. That's probably a sign." And I was just a little slower on the buzzer that day than normal. But I'm not taking anything away from Eric. He played a hell of a game."
