Jeopardy! went from tying the record for the most one-day champions in a row to having an eight-day champion. Scott Riccardi, from Somerville, New Jersey, returned for his ninth game, and tried to hit the All-Time Top 20, but did he? Riccardi faced off against Pete Johnston, from Lansing, Michigan, and Carl Adams, from Des Moines, Iowa, on Tuesday, July 15. Riccardi had an eight-day total of $201,301. It took over 220 episodes for a player to win over $200,000 this season. He was only $30,000 away from making it into the Top 20 all-time in terms of regular-play winnings and surpassing Roger Craig, who has total winnings of $231,200. “In yesterday’s game, our champion Scott Riccardi scored his eighth victory, so another win today would make it nine. That’s a milestone we have not seen here on the Alex Trebek stage since exactly one year ago today when Isaac Hirsch earned his ninth victory,” host Ken Jennings said.
