‘Jeopardy!’: Jamie Ding Gets Candid About Show & Being Rejected
Ding says a second-chance Zoom audition led to 28 straight wins and $774,601 in earnings.
- Jamie Ding, a Jeopardy champion from Lawrenceville, New Jersey, has won $774,601 as a 28-day winner, reversing a high school rejection from the Teen Tournament.
- After failing to secure a spot in the Teen Tournament, Ding received a second chance via Zoom in October 2024. Two months later, he landed a game-play audition.
- Hitting the buzzer quickly and reading clues faster than host Ken Jennings are key to Ding's success. He filmed five episodes a day at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, California.
- Ding told The Inquirer, "I don't know if it's entirely sunk in," as he secures his place in the top five all-time regular gameplay winners.
- Orange is his favorite color, and Ding consistently wears it to represent his alma mater, Princeton. Before his recent success, he competed in the 2004 National Geographic Bee.
