According to the officialJeopardy!website,Scott has now taken his place on another all-time Leaderboard of Legends Top 10 list as he’s now tied with Ryan Long at number 10 for the Most Consecutive Games Won at 16. Ryan won 16 games in 2022, so it’s been three years since aJeopardy!superchampion achieved this milestone.
What Scott Riccardi’s Latest Milestone Means For Jeopardy!
Scott Is Making His Mark On The Game
As Scott continuesto winJeopardy!games, he’s taking his place in the show’s history. It’s so impressive that he’s now on two of the Leaderboard of Legends Top 10 lists.Scott is inching closer to the Top 5 of the all-time regular-play winnings list. He’s at number 8, while Jason Zuffranieri is at number 7 with $532,496, Mattea Roach is at number 6 with $560,983, and Cris Pannullo is at number 5 with $748,286.
However,it’ll be challenging for Scott to reach the Top 4, which consists of four millionaires–Ken Jennings ($2,520,700), James Holzhauer ($2,462,216), Matt Amodio ($1,518,601), and Amy Schneider ($1,382,800)–but anything is possible when it comes toJeopardy!.
In addition,it’s highly possible that Scott will move up on the consecutive games Top 10 list as well. If he wins his 17th game on July 25, he’ll move above Ryan. The next highest number of games won is 19, which both Jason and David Madden have achieved. It’ll be a feat, though, for Scott to move into the top spot, as host Ken won 74 games in 2004.
