TOLEDO, Ohio — Monday evening's episode of Jeopardy! featured a contestant from Toledo.
Joanne Mercer, a registered nurse, made her appearance on the show that aired on WTOL-TV.
Mercer's appearance turned into a one-show stand as the record-setting Jeopardy! winning streak of Amy Schneider continued and she won Monday's game.
Schneider, a Dayton native now living in Oakland, Calif., has tallied 38 straight wins, tying the game show's second-longest winning streak. Schneider also has won more than $1.3 million on the show.
Schneider, the first transgender person to qualify for the tournament of champions, is the fourth contestant to eclipse $1 million in the regular season.
Other local residents who have appeared on Jeopardy include Siena Heights University associate professor of English and Tecumseh, Mich., resident Dana Schumacher-Schmidt, who was a contestant last April, and John Presloid, the University of Toledo researcher who was a contestant in 2019.
In 2015, Erin Saelzler, a Cardinal Stritch alum from Oregon, appeared as a contestant and in 2016, Toledoan Stephanie Schlatter represented the 419 on the show.
