Title: Jeopardy! question
Post by: toddyo on May 26, 2008, 08:51:08 PM
A question regarding Jeopardy!: Is there a list of 5 day winners and beyond, showing the highest amount won at 5 day, at 6 day, etc.. (pre and post Ken Jennings)? Is there a site with this info, along with highest one day (besides the $75,000 day of KJ)?

[/quote]The Jeopardy! website has a top winners list (http://\"http://jeopardy.com/showguide_50kwinners.php\"). The "top 5 day total" depends on whether you halve the total of post-doubling contenders or not. Plug the names into j-archive.com (http://\"http://j-archive.com/\"), and you're off and running.

To answer your last question, the $52,000 Brian Weikle won on his third day is the top non-Jennings total, and $34,000 by Jerome Vered the top pre-doubling. (Ken scored $52,000 or more on five different occasions.)
