List of Jeopardy! contestants

Jeopardy! is an American television game show. Its format is a quiz competition in which contestants are presented with general-knowledge clues in the form of answers and must phrase their responses as questions. Many contestants in the show's history have received significant media attention because of their success on Jeopardy!, particularly Brad Rutter, who has won the second highest total prize money on the show (after Ken Jennings) and was undefeated by a human until 2011; James Holzhauer, who holds several of the show's highest overall daily scores; and Ken Jennings, Amy Schneider, and Matt Amodio, who have the top three longest winning streaks. Other contestants have been better known for their accomplishments elsewhere, such as John McCain, a one-day champion in 1965 who later became a U.S. senator and the 2008 Republican presidential nominee.
