Now tied for second with James Holzhauer for most consecutive games won with 32.
r/Jeopardy! has a plausible theory:
Matt is working on his PhD in computer sciences, focusing on machine learning and artificial intelligence. Today he told Mayim Bialik that most of his research is done and now he just has to compile it all into his dissertation.
So… Matt Amodio is actually a robot using AI to compete on Jeopardy! and quite possibly the newest generation of Watson
Besides going over $!M this week ($1,212,401), last night Matt answered his 1,000 correct question in his 32nd game. By the end of their 33rd game, James and Ken had answered 1,186 and 1,158 correctly.
In terms of cash winnings, after 33 games James was at $2,462,216 and Ken was at $1,100.460.

Tomorrow on #Jeopardy I have the chance to remind everybody how much better than me @James_Holzhauer is in literally every way
It would be an honor to be unfavorably compared to a person I admire so much!
