- 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.

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.
