All good things must come to an end and Matt Amodio鈥檚 historic run on 鈥淛eopardy!鈥� did just that on Monday鈥檚 show, leaving the Yale doctoral student with 38 wins and more than $1.5 million in prize money.

Amodio failed to answer the Final Jeopardy! clue correctly and came third on Monday鈥檚 show, his streak cut short by new champion Jonathan Fisher, an actor originally from Coral Gables, Florida.

Amodio finished No. 2 on the all-time consecutive wins list behind only Ken Jennings with 74 wins. He won a total of $1,518,601, which puts him third on the all-time non-tournament cash winnings list behind James Holzhauer ($2,462,216) and Jennings ($2,520,700).

鈥渓 know going into every bar trivia game that I play that I鈥檓 going to come in with a little intimidation factor. But also, I just like the badge that it represents. As somebody who prioritizes knowledge and knowing things, this is really a good one to have following me everywhere,鈥� Amodio, a fifth-year computer science Ph.D student at Yale University, said in a statement.

He became known for starting all of his questions with 鈥淲hat鈥檚鈥︹�� instead of using suitable alternatives such as 鈥淲ho is鈥�,鈥� an unorthodox approach that made some longtime viewers groan.

But it was within the quiz show鈥檚 rules and, as Amodio explained, helped him limit any 鈥渦nnecessary moving parts鈥� that might undermine his effectiveness.

What became known as the 鈥淎modio Rodeo鈥� proved a welcome distraction for the quiz show and its producer Sony Pictures Television, which saw its effort to replace its late and beloved host Alex Trebek founder.

Sony turned to after its original pick for the job, 鈥淛eopardy!鈥� executive producer Mike Richards, exited the show following the disclosure of his past disparaging podcasts remarks about women and others.

Sony has said it was resuming its search for a permanent host.
