Ken Jennings said, “The stage name for this rapper/actor gets shortened to MGK.” The buzzer went off eventually as neither Donna Lettow or Ashley Castle, nor the returning Jeopardy! Champion Amy Schneider correctly identified Machine Gun Kelly. Schneider continued to win Monday night.
Last week, the current champion became history when she became transgender contestant and advanced to the Tournament of Champions. She also earned the fourth-highest wins in the history of the show. She continued her record-breaking streak on Christmas Eve when she won her 18th consecutive match, earning $706,800. This officially made her the highest-earning woman in history.
Schneider finished Monday’s game with a lead of $745,000. Schneider could continue her dominance and win 21 consecutive games, surpassing Jeopardy’s fourth-place record. Legend Jennings’s winning streak of 74 games in 2004 was followed by Matt Amodio’s 38-winning streak earlier in the year and James Holzhauer’s 32-winning streak. Will she be able to do it? Keep watching to see if she succeeds.
The MGK clue was hilariously misunderstood by viewers, who took to Twitter to share some very funny comments.
