A proposito di questo titolo
Matt Buechele revisits a lesson from his dad about showing up for other people, courtesy of a trip to see Billy Crystal’s one-man Broadway show, 860. Then Matt sits down with Jeopardy! legend Amy Schneider, who rattled off 40 consecutive wins before taking home the 2022 Tournament of Champions title. Amy talks about her theater-kid beginnings, the years she spent trying to get on Jeopardy!, and the strange mental marathon of filming five games in a single day. They get into the surreal experience of becoming a household name, what it meant to be a trans woman on one of America's most beloved television shows, and the unexpected messages from families whose minds she helped change. Plus, Matt and Amy predict the future of unnecessary reboots, Elizabeth Holmes' chances at a presidential pardon, and whether AI might finally be the one contestant Jeopardy! can't beat.
