Chicago librarian Rhone Talsma will go down in the Jeopardy history books after snapping Amy Schneider's winning streak.
Who is Rhone Talsma? New Jeopardy! champion from Chicago snaps Amy Schneider's winning streak
After winning on Wednesday's show, Talsma said he was,"feeling so many different emotions. I was so humbled because Amy is so dominant at Jeopardy and I love Jeopardy and am such a huge fan and so knowing I was going against someone who was so strong and dominant, I really felt humbled that I played this role in her story on the show.
"There was a sense of nervousness knowing that I was going to have to go back and defend my title, which I never expected to have to do. I was shocked, I was elated. It didn't really feel like it was actually happening. It felt like virtual reality pretty much.""It's a dream come true as somebody who is such a huge fan," he said.
Talsma also isn't the first Chicago librarian to end a famous Jeopardy streak. James Holzhauer's streak came to an end at the hands of University of Chicago librarian Emma Boettcher.
