I wish I was as smart as this woman on Jeopardy. Amy Schneider has been on for 39 weeks and has won nearly $1.4 Million. She was tied in the number of her winnings with Matt Amodio yesterday. She is the first woman to break $1 million in winnings and she is still going strong. Just another example of women's power. She is winning between $20,000 and $40,000 each day. She is from Oakland, California, and is an engineering manager there. She is also termed as the first trans woman to qualify for Jeopardy's Tournament of Champions. What a woman!!

Is this new, with rotating hosts, or are you seeing an old re-run? I know since Alex's passing, they've been having issues keeping the show alive because they can't seem to find the right person to fill his shoes.

Rotating for now until they find one long term.

@celticeagle Which doesn't appear to be happening anytime soon. Alex's shoes won't be easy to fill, and they never prepared for his passing.

I would be much too nervous to compete on a show like that! She must have a vast knowledge of just about everything.

She must. I think she has gotten used to being on the show. She seems more at ease now days.

You forgot to mention her name which is Amy Schneider .
"Jeopardy!" champion Amy Schneider is officially in second place for consecutive wins on the iconic quiz show with her 39th victory. Schneider, whose "Jeopardy!" run began Nov. 17, overtook Matt Amodio's 38-game winning streak with Monday's victory. Alread
