Standout ‘Jeopardy!’ player’s streak ends with narrow loss
LOS ANGELES — The goofy and entertaining reign of “Jeopardy!” champ Austin Rogers is over.
The New York City bartender narrowly lost on Thursday’s show after a 12-game winning streak that netted him a total $411,000, putting him in fifth place for all-time regular season winnings.
He’s satisfied with the run, Rogers said in an interview.
“I set myself out to win one game. I had no idea I’d be this wildly successful,” he said. “I had no idea I’d find it, honestly, this easy.”
