Canadian ‘Jeopardy!’ champ Mattea Roach goes for 20 straight wins tonight
Posted May 2, 2022 7:47 am.
Canadian Jeopardy! champ Mattea Roach can hit another big milestone on Monday night’s episode of the quiz show.
Another win would mean 20 straight for the 23-year-old Toronto tutor. Roach would also move into fifth place on the game show’s all-time list of longest winning streaks — she is currently tied for sixth.
Current host Ken Jennings holds the all-time record with 74 consecutive wins. Amy Schneider, whose streak wrapped up in January of this year, is second all-time with 40 wins in a row.

Roach already has the longest streak of any Canadian who has appeared on the show and has claimed more than $460,000 in winnings, 10th most in the show’s history and sixth most in regular-season play.
She has also clinched a spot in Jeopardy!’s tournament of champions, set to air next fall.
Born and raised in Halifax, Roach graduated from the University of Toronto with a bachelor’s degree in sexual diversity studies, political science and women and gender studies.
