By virtually any metric, Matt Amodio is one of the most successful quiz show contestants of all time.
The Medina, Ohio native, who now works as a quantitative researcher in New York, burst onto the trivia scene in 2021 with a commanding performance on American game show institution Jeopardy! Amodio would go on to dot his name all over the hallowed Jeopardy! record books, winning 38 consecutive games (third most all time), taking in $1,518,601 in prize-winnings (also third most all time), and finishing third in the inaugural Jeopardy! Masters tournament in 2023.
Now Amodio has returned for the second installment of Jeopardy! Masters alongside familiar competitors James Holzhauer, Amy Schneider, and Mattea Roach; and fresh faces Victoria Groce and Yogesh Raut. This time around, however, the ultra-champ hasn’t done too well. After five episodes (consisting of 10 games), Amodio finds himself in last place – hammering home just how challenging Jeopardy! has become and...

Mira Sorvino might not have mastered the dancefloor, but she certainly knows her trivia, enough to see her win Wednesday (October 25) night’s edition of Celebrity Jeopardy! The Jeopardy! victory came just one night after the Oscar winner’s surprising exit from Dancing With the Stars, where she became the fifth person eliminated from the season. Sorvino, who was partnered with Gleb Savchenko for the ABC dancing competition series, performed a routine to Cyndi Lauper’s “Time After Time” on Tuesday’s (October 24) episode, which included a guest appearance from Sorvino’s daughter, Mattea, who is also a dancer. Unfortunately, the dance only scored 22 out of 30, which put her and Savchenko in eighth place out of 10. There was still a chance Sorvino could make it through to next week after the fan vote, but it just wasn’t meant to be, as she and Savchenko were eliminated. “It’s been incredible,...

A dance tribute to the late Len Goodman left his fellow judges in tears on Tuesday night’s episode of “Dancing With the Stars.”
After a heartfelt clips package remembering the beloved but often critical scorer, pro dancers took the floor in black tuxes and flowing white ball gowns for a Waltz set to Henry Mancini’s “Moon River.” The Oscar-winning song was a favorite of Goodman’s.
The number was choreographed by Val Chmerkovskiy and Jenna Johnson and performed by past pro dancers Kym Herjavec, Anna Trebunskaya, Karina Smirnoff, Edyta Sliwinska, Tony Dovolani, Louis van Amstel, Maks Chmerkovskiy and Mark Ballas.
