Chicago librarian Rhone Talsma dethroned Schneider after 40 games on Wednesday's show.
winning streak ever, Amy Schneider’s run ended on Wednesday.
Schneider’s run ended after 40 games as Rhone Talsma, a librarian from Chicago, won Wednesday’s match with a correct Final Jeopardy response. He ended the game with $29,600, $10,000 more than Schneider — who didn’t answer the Final Jeopardy clue: “The only nation in the world whose name in English ends in H, it’s also one of the 10 most populous.”
“I had thought that Rhone was going to be tough going into it,” said Schneider in a statement. “I loved hanging out with him, we had a great conversation before the taping, but I could tell that he was here to play and that he was going to be good. I still came very close to winning, but I did feel like maybe I was slipping a little bit. And once it was clear that he was fast on the buzzer, I knew it was going to be a battle all the way.
