Amy Schneider wins a hard-fought ‘Jeopardy!’ tournament

NEW YORK (AP) — Amy Schneider, who won 40 games in a row on ‘Jeopardy!’, capped off her big year by winning the game show’s tournament of champions and a $250,000 prize. She won the third game of the best-of-seven tourney finals in a match televised on Monday (Nov. 21, 2022). The writer from Oakland beat two fellow Californians. Contestant Andrew He had won two games in the finals and Sam Buttrey had won one. Schneider had a narrow lead over He going into the show’s final clue. They both answered correctly, but Schneider’s bigger bet pulled her over the top.
