Jamie Ding has broken many records during his Jeopardy! run, including Ken Jennings‘ coryat score, breaking into the top 20 of all-time regular game play champions, and more. Now, will he join the ranks of other super champions or break another record and end his reign?
According to The Jeopardy! Fan and Reddit users, none of the past 19 super champions, who have won 10 games, have lost their 11th game. Did Ding, from Lawrenceville, New Jersey, break that record?
