Andy’s Pregame Thoughts: Amy Schneider’s win streak on Jeopardy! is now at 12 games and over $480,000 in winnings. $500,000 is very much attainable today for her. If she does win today, she’ll continue her streak on December 20, as the show’s first-ever Professor’s Tournament begins on Monday.

I commend Jeopardy for continuing to experiment with different tournament formats. The show has always tried new things within the confines of the format. A lot of things—like the Teachers Tournament—worked very well. Others, like the team play of the All-Star Games of 2019, were more of a flop with viewers. But I do commend Jeopardy! for continuing to try new things.

PSA: The best way to keep COVID-19 at bay (and keep Jeopardy! producing new episodes) is for everybody to get their vaccinations as soon as they are able to, including any boosters as recommended. When wearing a mask, please ensure that your mask covers both your nose and your mouth.

More information about Final Jeopardy: (The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2021 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)

In 1980, Phoenix’s Chris Greicius was a 7-year-old battling leukemia and wanting to become a police officer. The Phoenix community banded together to make Chris’ wish come true before his death later in 1980. This inspired the formation of the Make-A-Wish Foundation, which was created to grant wishes of critically ill children by 1981, and the Make-A-Wish Foundation of America was incorporated in 1983. Now, over 15,000 wishes are granted in the U.S. each year.

Today’s interviews:
Andrew does a podcast about the San Fernando Valley.
Brooke started collecting pothos during the pandemic.
Amy spent a lot of time acting, especially Shakespeare.

Andy’s Thoughts:

• Amy’s single-game score today is #52 all-time in regular play (including pre-doubled dollar values), and the 27th-best that does not belong to James Holzhauer.
• Amy moves to #4 in all-time regular play winnings, and #10 in all-time winnings (including tournaments). Note that Roger Craig’s all-time total should be $555,200 and not $530,200 (as he won $25,000 in the All-Star Games in 2019) and Jason Zuffranieri’s total should be $542,496 and not $532,496 (as he won $10,000 in the most recent Tournament of Champions.)
• At 401, Amy moves to 13th all-time in terms of number of known correct responses given on the show. Arthur Chu sits 12th at 411.
