Jeopardy! Champ Jamie Ding Loses, Ends Historic Winning Streak With This Clue
Greg Shahade won after Jamie Ding lost $400 on the final Double Jeopardy clue, ending a streak that had made him the show’s fifth-best winner.
- On Monday's Jeopardy! episode, international chess master Greg Shahade defeated Jamie Ding, ending the 33-year-old's historic 31-game winning streak just one victory short of James Holzhauer's record.
- Ding, a bureaucrat from Lawrenceville, New Jersey, had dominated the show since March 13, while Shahade, a Rittenhouse Square resident and international chess master, entered as a relative trivia newcomer.
- Shahade secured a runaway lead by answering all three Daily Doubles correctly; host Ken Jennings then read a Dubai clue that Ding answered incorrectly as "palm leaf" instead of "palm tree," costing him $400.
- Despite the loss, Ding will take home $882,605 in total winnings and will return next year for the show's Tournament of Champions to compete against other champions.
- Ding's 31-game run ranks fifth all-time for consecutive wins in Jeopardy! history, trailing Ken Jennings' record 74-game streak and other legendary champions' performances.
