Ken’s always been the face of ‘Jeopardy!’ to me, so when I think of ‘Jeopardy!,’ I think of him, to [be] right behind him is a surreal experience.

Matt Amodio

Matt Amodio, a PhD student in computer science at Yale University and a native of Medina County, Ohio, has won $1,267,801 in 33 appearances on Jeopardy! (as of October 1, 2021), making him the third millionaire contestant (based on regular-season play) after Ken Jennings and James Holzhauer. He is the third-highest earner of all time in regular-season play, second-most successful in consecutive games won and fourth-biggest all-time winner. During season 37, Amodio qualified as the first seed in the next Tournament of Champions. Amodio is noted for his strategy of consistently prefacing his responses with "What's" instead of adjusting the interrogative pronoun to fit the response. He chose this method because Jeopardy! rules allow any question containing the correct response to be used; by not having to adjust the pronoun, he has one less thing to think about when formulating a response, potentially speeding response time. He has credited Wikipedia's format for allowing him to meander through various topics in a random but logical progression and learn content quickly.
