HOLLYWOOD, C.A.—(77WABC)
While viewers were impressed with ‘Jeopardy!’ contestant Matt Amodio’s impressive six-game winning streak, there’s just one pet peeve they couldn’t get past.
As LeVar Burton’s guest-hosting week continues, one of his contestants, a PhD student from New Haven, Connecticut, exhausted viewers by repeatedly using the word, “what’s”, regardless of whether the answer was about a person – in which, it would be “who.”
On Wednesday’s episode, some of the answers were the names of people – ‘John Cleese’, ‘Jim Parsons’, ‘Anna Faris’. The contestant responded, “What’s Cleese?”, “what’s Parsons?”, “what’s Faris?” which led viewers to believe he was “the most annoying contestant ever.”
An example of this can be found within the tweet below.
Though Amodio has been a controversial winner on the show, he’ll still go down in Jeopardy! fame for his grand total so far.
That colossal amount brings him to Jeopardy!‘s leaderboard of all-time greats, where he currently sits at ninth place on the all-time regular-season winnings list.
On the las, Amodio cashed in a hefty $74,000, and he’ll continue next week with new guest host, CNBC’s David Faber.
Still, the contestant said the first win was the sweetest of them all.
