Caleb Groen Jeopardy! Statistics
Caleb Groen became the new Jeopardy! champ in one of those games where the FJ! bets determine the outcome, just 2 days after Richard Nguyen ended Adam Remsen’s 12-day streak. That wasn’t exactly a sign of what was to come, and Caleb’s second game was another one where everyone bombed on the final clue. Humble beginning notwithstanding, Caleb won $31,199 and the right to return the following Monday.

Caleb’s true potential emerged in this first full week as champ on the Alex Trebek Stage. Caleb had 4 runaway games. The $169,801 he picked up this week brought his winnings up to $201,000. Of course, he also qualified to be in the next Tournament of Champions after winning his 5th game on Wednesday, and he set a record for the highest one-day winnings ($60,000) in Season 42 on Thursday.

Caleb won $145,968 this week, bringing him up to $346,968. However, viewers who were anticipating finishing out Season 42 with Caleb Groen were in for a disappointment on Monday.

Caleb landed in second place at the end of his 13th game, which entitled him to a $3,000 consolation prize.
Coincidence Department:
• Game 13 was also unlucky for Adam Remsen.
• Back in May, 10x champ Tristan Williams also ended his streak on the 20th of the month.
Season 42 brought us these 4 superchamps:
$882,605 Jamie Ding
$373,999 Harrison Whitaker

$306,415 Adam Remsen
