For me, Julia Collins’ Jeopardy record still stands. Yet NBC went even futher beyond are mantra “transwomen are women” by describing Amy as female, as if it were possible to actually change one’s #SexNotGender. The claim that Schneider holds the women’s record is rejected by advocates for women’s status and rights.Īnd we are told that no one is trying to erase women. Kelly also described herself as a “dowager” - referring to a queen who has lost her authority and power. Kelly then replied, “I hope there will be a long line of such women, but you are certainly setting the bar extremely high for them!” Schneider, thanked Kelly. “Thanks so much, I’m honored to be in your company, and I look forward to some day watching the woman who beats us both!” Congratulations to Amy on becoming the woman with the highest overall earnings in the show's history! 📿👑 Well, it was fun to hold a Jeopardy record for a few years…but it's been even more fun to watch set new standards for excellence, on the show and off. Larissa Kelly - the woman who formerly held the women’s prize record - congratulated Schneider in a December 24 tweet. “The engineering manager’s 18th consecutive win brought her total earnings to $706,800, bumping her above Larissa Kelly to become the show’s top-earning female player.” “‘Jeopardy!’ champion Amy Schneider made history again on Friday, becoming the “highest-earning female contestant in the game show’s nearly 57-year run,” NBC wrote this week. “Amy Schneider ties Julia Collins’ record for consecutive games won - the sweater was lucky, indeed!” Jeopardy! tweeted on Tuesday, referring to Schneider’s decision to wear a sweater matching past show winner Julia Collins’ clothes.Īmy Schneider ties Julia Collins' record for consecutive games won - the sweater was lucky, indeed! /KLlh0mTdU2 Jeopardy! is awarding women’s records to a transgender man, and corporate parent NBC News is hailing Amy Schneider as the “highest-earning female contestant in the game show’s nearly 57-year run.”
