Congrats to today's two brilliant challengers for making it an exciting game of
#Jeopardy
today! Let's celebrate a match well played by Jonathan and Jessica!
When my parents let me name our dog, I picked Colbert.

has made me laugh nonstop from Strangers With Candy... to the Daily Show... to the Report. Also, I watch
@colbertlateshow
If I can get to 75
#Jeopardy
wins, do you think he will talk Middle Earth with me?
People saying to me "I'm sorry for your loss" has a different meaning than usual today
Perspective is important 😉 I may not be gracing the
#Jeopardy
stage every day, but I'm still here!
Wow, what a tournament. Thank you to all of my fellow competitors, everybody behind-the-scenes at
#Jeopardy
, and most importantly... all of you!
We are only allowed the privilege of playing this fun little game because of the fans that tune in day after day. Thank. You. 🙏
Tomorrow starts the first week of
#Jeopardy
since July where I don't know the future. I've forgotten how to do this part.
Do I just watch what happens on TV, and instead of pretending that it's new to me, it is actually new to me? Weird.
Wow, 30 wins. I know whatever happens next, this has been the ride of a lifetime on
#Jeopardy
. Thanks to all of you for tuning in for all of the ups and downs!
I celebrated
#NationalBestFriendDay
yesterday with my best friend Dobby 🐶❤️ If you're ready to welcome a new
#BestFriend
into your home,
#AdoptDontShop
from a shelter or rescue group. Give an individual like Dobby the chance to love you & you'll be as happy as I am!
@bestfriends
I've felt such tremendous support from the
#Jeopardy
community, I feel like we're on this run together as a team. Thank you! ❤️
(...but no, I'm not splitting the 💵 amongst us all a million ways, sorry about that...)
Yes, when I said I was pleasantly surprised that people could also be nice on the internet, I was talking about all of you in the
#Jeopardy
twitter community! Thanks for your support! ❤️
This person helped make it a happier, more enjoyable year for me.
What's... you?
Thanks for making my first birthday celebrated as a
#Jeopardy
champ so great! 🎂, anyone?
That was an amazing game of
#Jeopardy
, I'm proud to have been part of it! What an honor to share the stage with two brilliant human beings. Thank you,

@sam_buttrey
Congratulations,
@sam_buttrey
, on a well deserved victory! I enjoyed getting to spend time with you off the stage, and am content losing to a phenomenal
#Jeopardy
player who also happens to be a fun, wonderful person!

Most people don’t realize that when

hosts

, they only write the categories ahead-of-time, and then he just says five clues that come to him on the spot
My legacy will live on! Potentially because of me, the list of American game show winners by money on Wikipedia was recently turned from a top 10 list into a top 20 list. I'm coming for you at
#9
, Mr. Curtis Warren!
I feel like I've really made a difference here
I feel fortunate to have taken part in such a fun ToC, congratulations to all of my colleagues and everyone behind the scenes at
#Jeopardy
for making it so great!
I've heard when
#Jeopardy
updates the official record books tomorrow, there'll be a significant change that will make me feel very good about my accomplishments:
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!
The stakes have never been higher ♟️
Witness Amy Schneider, Matt Amodio, Mattea Roach, Andrew He, Sam Buttrey, and James Holzhauer go head-to-head in the upcoming
#JeopardyMasters
event. Coming soon to

: THIS SCHOOL IN SOUTHERN CONNECTICUT TOOK ITS CURRENT NAME IN 1718
Me: What's University of New Haven?
#Jeopardy
: No, sorry, Yale. We were looking for Yale.
Me: Oh, right, yea, I probably should've thought of that
To reflect who I am and what I hope to build, I am hereby changing my name to

Over time, I hope young people stop thinking I'm ruining everything.
Congrats on a great run, Cris! Your clue selection, wagering, demeanor... it warms my little heart to see
#Jeopardy
played the right way (save for all those superfluous "who's" you threw in 😉)
I have had the honor of spending the whole week with the wonderful
@missmayim
, check out tonight's episode to see whether I'll be back on
#Jeopardy
on Monday!
Very glad the
#Jeopardy
writers will be able to return so we can get new clues on Pagliacci, Fahrenheit 451, and the Rhine River!
I am tired of these reused clues on Pagliacci, Fahrenheit 451, and the Rhine River
On this day 17 years ago, Ken Jennings began Season 21 as a 38-day champion. He would go on to win another game or 36.
We would have to wait until 2020 to see him crowned, but we all knew he was the
#Jeopardy
GOAT in 2004.
Long live the Ken!

The helpful thing about
@KenJennings
hosting
#Jeopardy
is rather than you having to think of an anecdote for the interviews, he just tells each contestant a fun fact about themself
Due to Sam Buttrey being such a strong
#Jeopardy
role model, instead of "influencer", the kids these days are going to start saying they want to be a bon vivant and man about town when they grow up!
Totally unfair.
#Jeopardy
just *gives*
@JFishtheDish
a free pass on an anecdote?
Meanwhile I'm left flailing with "I listen to music sometimes" and "There was a bat. Did it do anything? No, it just sat there and then went away"
I've been invited by the stellar

tomorrow morning around 9:40am EST! I'm sure we'll be talking about our shared

experience, and maybe about money or something
I love my parents, who are kind, charming, funny people.
But
@KenJennings
is a kind, charming, funny person and the
#Jeopardy
GOAT. Sorry, mom and dad, nobody can compete with that.
@bradrutter
@Jeopardy
I have spent so many days rooting you on through the TV, to have your respect means more to me than I can properly put into words! I've always admired and sought to emulate the way you carry yourself with class and charisma while knowing everything about everything ❤️
Does anybody know how to make Twitter's "blue check" process go slower? I'm worried mine will be done before
#Jeopardy
Season 3,141,592 airs, and there's just no point rushing these things.
It's technically the beginning of my "post-
@Jeopardy
" life, but thanks to you all in this community, I feel like I'm still an active part of the
#Jeopardy
world!
If you ever have the opportunity to trade:
1. looking silly
for
2. slightly increasing your odds of succeeding
... take it!

)
@dspannagel
@Jeopardy
So well done!! I appreciate the attention to detail with the podium and my name signed that way and everything. Absolutely adorable, and I'm flattered ❤️
I'm not sure I've seen anybody on
#jeopardy
have quite as much fun as
@Buck
is having with his guest host time. You can tell he's loving the experience, and his joy is contagious! Thanks for sharing this with us, Joe!
There will be some extremely high-level
#Jeopardy
played tonight. Perhaps occasionally even by me.
In my humble opinion, my five friends and I have made
#JeopardyMasters
some pretty darn good television. And if you don't like us,
@KenJennings
has his moments, too.
Tonight I made the cardinal sin of appearing on an ABC trivia show without an encyclopedic knowledge of all moderately successful shows in the ABC corporate portfolio. Do I have time to watch the entire Hulu catalog before Monday's
#JeopardyMasters
?
Losing a
#Jeopardy
game because I forgot the phrasing at a pivotal time is the fear that led to me adopting the instinctual "what's". There's enough going on under the bright lights as it is!
My thinking going into the
#JeopardyMasters
semifinals: there are 16 match points available, 9 of which I assume will go to
@James_Holzhauer
. That leaves 7 to split. Just get a second place finish here and there, and I should be good. How hard could that be...

Ken, you've been a hero and an inspiration to me for almost two decades. I just want to thank you for everything you've given to the world.
