The Archive doesn't have anyone from Dave Madden's games mentioning them winning 250k on Millionaire [...]

That's because this player page needs to be updated.

I added a Chase line and BETS line for Miguel: http://www.j-archive.com/showplayer.php?player_id=7294

If some knows when he was on WWTBAM I can add one for that as well.

Miguel won $1,000 on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire on 2003-04-16.

I've mentioned those infernal Radio City Music Hall celeb matches from 2006 many times. They have to be some kind of record for unrevealed clues, with 11/17/06 being the frontrunner at 16 in J! and 10 in DJ! This was due to an insane amount of buffoonery and the inexplicable decision to have Broadw...

Question for cheezguyty (mostly because I don't keep tournament data in my spreadsheets): Other than Holzhauer games, where does today's game rank in terms of "combined final score post-Final Jeopardy"? Tonight's post-FJ combined score of $106,399 is the highest ever for any game outside of James's...

BEST PICTURE OSCAR NOMINEES

Has anyone ever figured out what percentage of players who are ahead going into FJ bet zero?

Excluding games where the leader has a lock, it's less than 1%. It's actually slightly more common for the leader to bet it all.

I was embarrassed to miss this FJ. I spent way too much time thinking "Victoria is in the clue so it can't be Victoria, can it?" This made me curious if the correct answer to Final Jeopardy has ever been contained within the clue (not counting trivial cases such as when the answer is a letter of th...

Martin is from Martin (TN). cheezguyty: Any other players with a first name matching their hometown?

I could only find one: (Captain) Lawrence Indyk from Lawrence, Kansas.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Salome's total of $32,800 is the fourth-highest second place finish in Jeopardy! history, trailing only the scores obtained by James Holzhauer victims Nate Scheffey and Adam Levin (the latter of whom currently holds the title for highest second place finish pe...

HISTORICAL NAMES

In 1779, 16-year-old Marie Josèphe Rose Tascher de la Pagerie traveled from Martinique to France to marry this man who was guillotined in 1794

I feel like I remember(possibly from this board?) Someone once saying that in certain finals, instructions are sometimes given pre final that simply a surname is not sufficient. Does anyone know or have any indication that this may have happened? I'm assuming simply Guthrie would not have been acce...

How many times has this happened where Alex skips a contestant interview? I can only think of one other:

He skipped two in this game: http://www.j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=2452 (see Wanda's player page for the details).

With the game now archived, we see the players did indeed go 58-0-2 with 3/3 in FJ. Is that a record for most total correct responses without a miss? (Paging cheezyguy). Last Tuesday's game also had 61 correct responses and no misses. The contestants on May 1 combined for 59 right and 0 wrong. The ...

They ruled Ellie wrong for saying "tamarind" and yet it was spelled that way in the credits!

One for the cheezguyty file: How many games in the Archive where one player was 0 for 4 on the big clues? I found 18 such occurrences: 2019-05-09 | 2006-06-29 2018-07-05 | 2005-01-24 2018-03-01 | 2004-04-16 2016-11-09 | 2003-10-07 2015-06-29 | 2003-01-01 2011-05-25 | 2001-01-23 2010-05-25 | 2000-06...

Did anyone besides me get Tollund Man this time around? http://www.jboard.tv/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=1576

I got it thanks to remembering that poll question and how impressed I was that you were the only respondent to get it right!

Here's something I'm curious about: Adam's Coryat was $17,000, which was quite good, especially for a runner-up. What is the record for highest Coryat by a contestant who finished second? $25,600 , set by Reid Setzer just one month ago. The known record for pre-doubled values is $14,000 , by Bob Wa...

Here's one for cheezguyty and his research powers: James ran WHAT DAY IS THAT SONG? going from bottoms up from 2000 to 400. Anyone else have that feat in their book of accomplishments? I found 28 past occurrences of a bottoms-up category run by 19 different contestants (spoiled for length): 1989-02...

earendel - 39 (ineligible, already appeared on Jeopardy)

Are you sure about that?
