Jeopardy! is set to return with Game 220 of season 41 today. This week has seen one of the best runs of form by a contestant in the current season. Scott Ricardi, an engineer from Somerville, has been on a hot six-day streak since last weekend and is looking to add to his earnings of $149,901 (till Thursday, July 10).
Jeopardy! has been a massive hit among trivia fans ever since the game show first aired back in the 1960s. The current host of the show is the charismatic Ken Jennings, who is a massive fan of the game himself. He has cemented his name in the history book with an unprecedented 74-game victory streak worth $2,520,000.
While Scott Ricardi is still a long way away from matching the host's winning streak, he made history in season 41 by becoming the largest single-game earner of the season. He won a whopping $50,400 on Independence Day.
