Cris Pannullo’s Jeopardy Statistics
Cris Pannullo, a customer success operations manager from South Jersey, played his first Jeopardy! game on Friday, September 30, 2022. It was the 5th game for David Sibley, an Episcopal priest from Walla Walla, Washington. Cris was the only one who got Final Jeopardy! wrong but it didn’t matter, because he had a runaway. We didn’t know it then but that was the first of many runaway games and his final bet of $221 was a number that we would see many more times.
Let’s have a look at some quick statistics from Cris Pannullo’s 21-game run. (Note: An “R” after the amount shown in the Winnings column signifies a runaway game. You can see the Weekly Recap for each week by clicking on the images)

The week of 11/28/2022 began with a runaway, but Cris had challengers in Final Jeopardy! a couple of times this week. Whenever a run goes on this long, many viewers think a player like Chris is getting tired. Nonetheless, Cris still managed to finish in the lead in every game and he wrapped it on Friday with the third runaway of the week.

Another runway game came Cris’ way on Monday, 12/5/2022. On Tuesday, Cris finished in the lead going into Final Jeopardy! but it was a very slim lead. He only had $700 more than challenger, Andy Tirrell. Andy got the final clue right and Cris did not, and it all came to an end for Cris. Well not “all”– he will still be back for the next Tournament of Champions.
