I was watching the 22nd game with my mom and when he ended the first round with -$600, she thought that was it and just zoned out. Five minutes later, after he hit the second daily double and answered a few more clues correctly, she glanced up at the screen again and said “Wait, how does he have $27,200?” That was probably the funniest moment of us watching Matt.

@@PeterSoby Don't get me wrong, Amy delivered successfully well in her 40-day run on Jeopardy. She's been killing it. But there's something about Matt that had me very interested. He's been awesome left and right. Going to his last game, I hate how he got beat up by those 2 contestants but it is what it is.

There's a part of me that was hoping when Amy Schneider passed Matt at 38 victories in a row, that she would just keep going and going. It kind of stinks that she only won two more than Matt. But… Wow… The tournament of champions is going to be bonkers!

If Matt hadn't got final Jeopardy wrong on his guest host, he could break the 1M dollar mark on Day 21, which became the second-longest streak, with James Holzhauer, breaking 1M on Day 14 and a 38 day total of $1,901.401. He could break 2M on Day 42 if he hadn't lost to Jonathan Fisher but who knows how well Matt will do, facing Amy Schneider with 40 Day Champion with 1.3M and a defeat of 11-day champion Jonathan Fisher with 246.100 during the 2022 Tournament of Champions

He’s a really, nice man, respectful and knowledgeable of the game, engages with fans, and will be a force to be reckoned with in the TOC. Won despite having to adjust to a series of hosts. Never made it about him unlike the posturing , obnoxious contestants who show up too often now. Your comment is both uninformed and boring.

I got tired of him after his 19th win. In addition to that, his voice and his response style by starting every response with "What's..." really got on my nerves.
