Jamie Ding's Jeopardy Streak Ends at 31 Games

0:00On April 28th, Jeopardy Champ Jamie Dingh just wrapped up a massive 31-game winning streak, pocketing $882,006, $105 before bowing out Monday night. That puts him at number 5 on the leaderboard of legends right behind some of the all-time greats. His final episode was a runaway loss to challenger Greg Shahadeh, which Dingh called unusual for a super champ like him. No single clue decided at all, so he even got to scribble TTFN, NST, NST, Tata, for now, on his board as a fun send-off. Dingh opened up about mixed feelings. Part of him bummed not to chase more wins, but grateful it lasted this long against tough competition. As a 33-year-old naturalized citizen born in Australia to parents from Beijing, he sees his run as a win for immigrants and people of color. Breaking into American icons like Jeopardy. One more victory would have tied James Holtzhauer's 32-game streak from 2019, though they're both way behind Matamodios, 38, Amy Schneider's 40, and host Ken Jennings 74.

1:09Dingh hopes his story shines a positive light on immigrants amid tough times, reminding everyone that smarts and grit can rewrite the leaderboard and maybe inspire the next wave to step up.
