After winning and becoming the defending championship during Transgender Awareness Week, trans woman and Jeopardy! contestant Amy Schneider has successfully defended her title five episodes in a row — meaning she now qualifies to compete in the Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions, a yearly tournament between the show’s 15 contestants that won in the most episodes. Schneider is defending her championship in the episodes that are currently airing, the most recent one being on Black Friday, her eighth straight victory. She’s earned $295,200 thus far. Schneider first competed and won in the episode that aired on November 17. An engineering manager living in Oakland, California, she defeated five-time champion Andrew He when she was the only contestant to answer the Final Jeopardy question correctly. She won $31,600 after identifying which island contains the graves of Robert Fulton and two of the first four treasury secretaries. (The answer was Manhattan.)
