Jeopardy! is one of the most popular game shows in America owing to its engaging nature and offbeat content. The prolific game show has been around since the 1960s and has aired 38 seasons to date. Typically played between three contestants, it is entirely knowledge-based and trivia-driven.

So far, the final round has been a point of attraction for audiences as they usually attempt to guess the correct answer before the particular episode airs.

The show is currently on its 38th season, which also happens to be one of the most popular seasons of the game show in its long and illustrious history. This is due to some excellent contestants like Amy Schneider and Matt Amadio, who have created excellent streaks with their brilliant performances.

Mattea Roach, a Toronto-based tutor, also joined this hall of fame with her 23-day streak that ended only recently. The final question has been the downfall of many such great players, including Amy Schneider and Mattea Roach.
