Jeopardy! returns with the second episode of the new week as fans tune in to watch one of the best ongoing streaks of the current season. Last week, one of the contestants, Scott Ricardi, ended on a seven-game win streak. He continued his run on yesterday's episode after correctly guessing the correct answer, "Who is Robert Downey Jr."
Ricardi currently holds an eight-day total of $201,301 and will have the chance to increase his earnings today. Scott is already the largest single-game earner of the season, winning a whopping $50,400 in one day. He edged out against Amanda Hopkins, an analytics manager originally from New Providence, New Jersey, and Paul Swain, a tutor from Vancouver, Washington.
The television game show created by Merv Griffin in 1964 has been a favorite among trivia and quiz show fans ever since. Jeopardy! flips the script of the usual quiz show format of a question followed by an answer. Participants are rather handed a set of clues from which they have to guess the answer. The most thrilling round is the final round, where contestants have to provide the solution in the form of a question.
