Matt Amodio’s reign as Jeopardy! champion has come to an end. After winning 38 games of America’s most controversial quiz show, the competitor who many fans consider “annoying” for frequently saying “what’s” instead of “what is”—Jeopardy! fans are truly on another level—finally lost tonight. He finishes up behind Ken Jennings with the second-most wins in Jeopardy! history.
New champion Jonathan Fisher put the kibosh on the so-called “Amodio rodeo,” besting Amodio and statistical research specialist Jessica Stephens, who came in second. Fisher took home $29,200, a paltry number to Amodio’s collective $1,518,601, but, hey, it’s his first night.
