The answer is “All of them”?On Wednesday evening, after a 40-game winning streak (the second-longest in the show’s history), Amy Schneider lost Jeopardy, taking home $1,382,000.Rather: She lost on Wednesday evening East Coast time, as West Coast Jeopardy fans hastened to point out when certain East Coast–based news organizations totally ruined the surprise by sending out push notifications at 7:30 PM ET, before the episode had aired on the West Coast or even in all East Coast markets. (Jeopardy! itself would never do this.)Little disappointments hit especially hard during a pandemic. This was not an exception. It was, perhaps, the anti-exception.
