A friend and I were talking this afternoon about Matt Amodio’s very impressive 38-game run on Jeopardy! We must have retroactively jinxed him, because his winning streak ended today.
I thought Final Jeopardy! was a giveaway, but Matt missed it. Even if he hadn’t, he’d have lost the game. I don’t know how many games are produced in a single day and week, but perhaps Matt was getting fatigued.
