Jennings has held the top spot with 74 wins since 2004 (he has been hosting Jeopardy! during Schneider’s streak).

“It still feels unreal,” said Schneider in a statement. “Knowing that I had this chance, I was definitely thinking about it. Then Ken said it, and I thought, ‘Alright, I just accomplished this huge thing’ and it was pretty great.” Schneider beat the 38-game record set earlier this season by Matt Amodio, who is now No. 3 on the all-time wins list.

Schneider and Amodio will face off in the next edition of the Tournament of Champions.

In her statement, Schneider directed a message to Amodio: “It’s going to be an honor playing against you, and it’s going to be a tight competition.”
