During a Final Jeopardy! category titled Shakespeare’s Tragedies at the end of Match 4, Jennings was the only contestant to answer correctly: “Who is Iago?” Despite not wagering any money, Jennings was crowned the champion. (You can watch the video below).

Hosted by Alex Trebek, the television event brought together the three biggest money winners in the long-running game show’s history: James Holzhauer, Jennings and Brad Rutter to compete in a series of matches for a grand prize of $1 million dollars and the title of “Jeopardy! The Greatest of All Time.” The two runners up each received $250,000.

The multi-night event on ABC premiered Jan. 7 and has been a ratings dynamo for ABC. In light of its success, the network is mulling a followup with Holzhauer, Jennings and Rutter.
