Dan's the Jeopardy! man
Congratulations to Dan Pawson, whose streak as reigning Jeopardy! champion ended tonight after nine victories.
Dan's run marks the third-longest winning skein in non-tournament Jeopardy! play, after the phenomenal Ken Jennings (74 wins) and David Madden (19 wins). (Long-time viewers will recall that until a few seasons ago, returning champions — including yours truly — were retired after their fifth victories.)
Dan's prize total of $171,601 will come in extremely handy, given that he and his wife are expecting a new baby, quite literally any day now.
Way to go, Dan!
