A Jeopardy! contestant just made history! He beat Ken Jennings‘ Coryat score, and the man himself was there to witness it. He had a huge score during his second game, but ended with a low total due to a stunning final wager.
Jamie Ding, from Lawrenceville, New Jersey, returned for his third game on March 17. He has a two-day total of $26,566.
