Jeopardy! Run[]

Evaluation[]

Common with Other Champions[]

Jonathan Fisher[]

  • Beat a Ultrachamp (Matt Amodio) and succeeded in winning 5 or more in a row. Jonathan is on an 11-game winning streak, and he has won six.
  • They lost to the same opponent (Andrew He) in ToC. The difference is, unlike himself, who was completely defeated, Jonathan lost by $2.
  • The ultrachampions they beat were defeated by 4-time champs.

Roger Craig[]

  • 6-time champions, both ceded to women's champions. The difference is, in Roger's case, it's a single win.
  • Both of them tried True DD in succession and succeeded. The timing is also similar to Roger: 7, 8 / Eric: 8, 9, Roger was used in the final game and Eric was used in the quarterfinal match.

Drew Basile[]

  • Both defeated Superchampion, and Superchampion placed third at the time.
  • Both qualified for ToC by winning five or more games in a row.

Trivia[]

  • This is the third case in which both the former champion and the successor champion who competed against him entered the ToC, and it is the first case in which all have won 5 or more consecutive wins. In addition, the successor champion broke the jinx that champions who beat champions with 5 or more wins in a row would win one or less.
  • He was very strong on Daily Doubles, finding 15 of the 21 available during his run and being correct on 13 of them. His average of $6,800 on the Daily Doubles per game is the second strongest of any player in the 2022 Tournament of Champions roster, only being bested by Matt himself, at $7,800 per game.
  • He is one of three people (Roger Craig and James Holzhauer being the other) in Jeopardy history to respond correctly to back-to-back True Daily Doubles (All-in).
  • He is the only Jeopardy! champion to advance further in his respective ToC than the ultrachampion he beat in regular-season play.
