Larissa Kelly offers her congratulations to the latest Jeopardy! champion, Amy Schneider.
Well, it was fun to hold a Jeopardy record for a few years…but it's been even more fun to watch @Jeopardamy set new standards for excellence, on the show and off. Congratulations to Amy on becoming the woman with the highest overall earnings in the show's history! ??

Amy is the first openly transgender J! champ, and the Twitter exchange between Larissa and Amy has received some media coverage, including on People.com.
As I have been saying, the big stuff associated with this weblog all happened within its first few years, and Larissa remains the all-time ratings champ. Larissa was so immensely and immediately popular that the site went from nothing to tens of thousands of daily hits overnight, and her every subsequent appearance on Jeopardy! had the same effect. I owe her, big time!
