With Amy Schneider surpassing James Holzhauer’s 32 wins and setting off in pursuit of Matt Amodio’s 38 wins and Ken Jennings’ 74 wins, I have decided to add Amy Schneider to the statistical comparisons. As in the past, links are also provided to help define any statistics that may not be readily familiar or intuitive to the casual viewer.

This page will be publicly updated daily between 8:00 and 9:00 PM Eastern. (If you are a member of the media wishing to see the comparison earlier in the day, you’re welcome to contact Andy privately.)

One UI note: If you’re on a phone, I would recommend tilting your phone sideways.
