The show featured high school teams from the area competing in a team format, with Amodio participating alongside two classmates against opponents such as St. Ignatius High School.

Medina High School's team finished second in the match against St. Ignatius, scoring 265 points to their opponents' 680, marking a strong but ultimately runner-up performance in this regional contest. This experience served as Amodio's first significant foray into competitive quizzing, honing his skills and building the confidence that would later propel him toward national game shows like Jeopardy!.

Jeopardy! regular season

Matt Amodio made his debut on the regular season of Jeopardy! on July 21, 2021, during the show's 38th season, facing initial opponents including traffic court supervisor Josh Saak and healthcare consultant Caroline McCreath in episodes taped earlier that summer under enhanced post-COVID-19 safety protocols, such as mandatory testing, social distancing on set, and production without a live studio audience. His run unfolded amid a transitional hosting period following the departure of executive producer Mike Richards in August 2021, with episodes featuring guest host Robin Roberts at the outset and later Ken Jennings and Mayim Bialik as the show shifted to permanent co-hosts. Amodio quickly established dominance, securing victories in his first 38 games through consistent performance and knowledge across categories, briefly interrupted by a production hiatus at the end of the initial broadcast week but resuming seamlessly in September. A highlight came on September 21, 2021, during his 28th win, when he crossed the one-million-dollar threshold in cumulative regular-season earnings, joining an elite group of contestants at that milestone. Notable matchups included competitive bouts against educators like Buttrey and lawyers such as in earlier episodes, building toward his streak's climax. The streak concluded on October 11, 2021, in Amodio's 39th episode, where he fell to Jonathan Fisher after a tight three-contestant Final Jeopardy round, with Fisher advancing to an 11-game run of his own. At the time, Amodio's 38-game streak ranked as the second-longest in Jeopardy! history, behind only Ken Jennings's record of 74, though it later placed third following Schneider's 40 wins; across his regular-season games, he achieved an 89% correct response rate on clues, underscoring his precision under pressure. Throughout, Amodio occasionally prefaced responses with phrases like "What's," a stylistic choice that became a minor hallmark of his on-air presence.

Jeopardy! tournaments

Amodio first competed in a post-season Jeopardy! tournament during the 2022 Tournament of Champions, held in November 2022. As a top seed, Amodio received a first-round bye and competed in the semifinals against John Focht and Sam Buttrey, entering Final Jeopardy with $16,800 but finishing second to Sam Buttrey and earning $25,000. This performance highlighted Amodio's continued aggressive betting style from his regular-season run, though it fell short of the finals. In the inaugural Jeopardy! Masters tournament in May 2023, Amodio advanced through the quarterfinals and semifinals to reach the finals against and . He secured a semifinal win with 32,800 points but placed third overall in the best-of-three finals, wagering conservatively in key moments like Game 2 where he entered Final Jeopardy with 3,200 points. For his third-place finish, Amodio earned $150,000. Amodio returned triumphantly in the 2025 Jeopardy! Invitational Tournament, held in February-March 2025, where he dominated the field to win the title. In the finals against and , he claimed victory in both games of the best-of-three series, leading after the Jeopardy! rounds with scores like $5,200 in Game 2 through strong buzzer efficiency and correct responses. This marked his first tournament championship, earning him $150,000 and a berth in the subsequent . Later that year, Amodio participated in the 2025 in April-May, advancing to the quarterfinals but ultimately finishing fifth overall. In his elimination game on May 27 against Juveria Zaheer and Roger Craig, he led after the Jeopardy! round with $4,800, entered Final Jeopardy with $8,600, correctly answered and wagered $2,000 to finish with $10,800, but placed second to Juveria Zaheer ($17,601). Earlier matches saw higher stakes, with totals around $36,000 in competitive rounds against players like Victoria Groce and Yogesh Raut. He received $75,000 for his performance. As a recognized superchampion, Amodio has made multiple tournament appearances, showcasing consistent strategy across high-stakes invitational events. His combined tournament earnings total over $400,000, including prizes from the 2022 Tournament of Champions, 2023 and 2025 Masters, and his 2025 Invitational victory.

Legacy and records

Jeopardy! achievements

Matt Amodio's 38-game winning streak in the 2021–2022 regular season marked the second-longest in Jeopardy! history at the time, spanning 39 total appearances and establishing him as a dominant superchampion. During this run, he amassed $1,518,601 in regular-season winnings, the third-highest total for a single streak behind Ken Jennings's $2,520,700 and James Holzhauer's $2,462,216. As of 2025, his regular-season earnings rank third all-time, behind only Jennings and Holzhauer. These achievements stemmed in part from his aggressive strategy of high Daily Double wagers and consistent performance. In subsequent tournaments, Amodio added approximately $300,000 to his earnings as of November 2025, for an overall Jeopardy! total of $1,818,601 and placing him in the top 10 all-time for combined regular-season and tournament winnings. Key tournament successes include a semifinalist prize of $50,000 in the 2022 Tournament of Champions, securing third place in the 2023 Jeopardy! Masters for $100,000, an early elimination in the 2024 Jeopardy! Masters for $25,000, and claiming the 2025 Jeopardy! Invitational Tournament title for $150,000. He also participated in the 2025 Jeopardy! Masters as a quarterfinalist. Among his notable records, Amodio became the third Jeopardy! contestant to reach millionaire status through regular-season play alone, following Jennings and Holzhauer. His streak featured standout single-game performances, including a personal and streak-high score of $83,000 during his 34th victory on October 4, 2021. Additionally, he maintained a success rate of approximately 74% in finding Daily Doubles across his regular-season games, contributing to his ability to control gameplay.

Public reception

Matt Amodio's distinctive answering style on Jeopardy!, particularly his consistent use of "What's" to begin responses regardless of the clue's phrasing, drew significant attention and criticism from fans during his 2021 regular-season run, sparking online debates and memes that portrayed him as a rule-bending " villain" for his aggressive, no-frills approach. The show's production team issued a public clarification affirming that his method complied with official rules, which only require the response to be in the form of a question, leading to widespread discussion on and fan forums about the nuances of gameplay . Media coverage of Amodio has generally portrayed him positively as an intellectual underdog, with features highlighting his analytical mindset and transition from Jeopardy! success to a career in artificial intelligence. In a 2025 profile in Ohio State Alumni Magazine, Amodio discussed his betting strategy—rooted in data-driven analysis similar to his AI research—and his Yale doctoral work on neural networks for biological data, emphasizing how his academic background shaped his trivia preparation. Interviews in outlets like Entertainment Weekly and Vulture further explored his preparation techniques, including studying pop culture despite personal disinterest, reinforcing his image as a strategic, challenge-seeking competitor. Fans and critics have praised Amodio's methodical, analytical playstyle for elevating the intellectual rigor of Jeopardy!, though some continued to critique his response phrasing as overly mechanical even after the 2021 clarifications. His victory in the 2025 Jeopardy! Invitational Tournament reignited interest, with official Jeopardy! social media and fan reactions dubbing it his "villain era" for bold buzzer timing and confident wagering, as noted in post-tournament commentary from CinemaBlend and TV Insider. Amodio's run has inspired broader discussions on the intersection of AI and trivia mastery, with media profiles linking his machine learning expertise to his game analysis, such as treating clue patterns like predictive models.
