Trivia[]
- He is the sixth player to be at the top seed of the ToC leaderboard to be the 1st runner-up of the ToC following Bruce Naegeli, David Siegel, Brian Weikle, Tom Walsh, and Tom Nissley.
- After his defeat, it was introduced into Warring States period, and there were no champions with four consecutive wins in the 84 games (Fred Vaughn), and it was not until the 115th that a champion with more than five consecutive victories came out (Andrew Pau). This is the longest gap among 5-time champ.[1]
- From him to Jon Eisenman, anyone who has succeeded in winning 5 straight wins has a formula that unconditionally wins 6 or more.
- FJ! is threshing (9-9), while DD is strong, with a record of 32-3.
- He is recognized for his buzzer speed and for quickly moving onto the next clue after giving a correct response. In his fourth game, when Jackson said "Boom!" after correctly answering a Daily Double, fans and media quickly proclaimed the exclamation his signature catchphrase, but he never repeated it.
- Unlike the traditional $200 down method and the $1,000 up method used by James Holzhauer and Matt Amodio, He tended to select clues from the $600 mark, as clues around this range are more likely to be Daily Doubles.
- For his third through eleventh appearances, He held up a number of fingers corresponding to his amount of wins coming into that show in his introduction. (In his tenth game, one of his competitors, Erik Latshaw, held up a "0" with his fingers, in imitation of Jackson.)
- His final regular play was the first and only case out of 16 Super-champions (10+ wins) that the person who beat them failed to answer FJ! correctly and Triple Stumper.
- Among the champions with 10 or more wins in a row, with Ken Jennings, Jason Zuffranieri, and Cris Pannullo have entered Final Jeopardy! in the lead for every regular game.

- ↑ Also, during this period, two competitions were held between challengers only. At first, the current champion, Claudia Corriere, was unable to participate due to personal reasons, so the contest was held between challengers. Then, when Claudia returned, there was no winner, so the next contest was held between challengers.
