For those of you who might not know, Andrew is no stranger to the Jeopardy! stage. He first took the world by storm back in November 2021, when he set the record for the largest amount ever won in a player’s first game – a whopping $52,001!
Then, he returned in 2022 for the Tournament of Champions, showcasing his impressive trivia knowledge yet again. Despite not clinching the top spot, he managed to amass a grand total of $259,365 in winnings – quite an achievement!

Now, in the 2023 Masters tournament, Andrew’s up against some stiff competition, including Amy Schneider, Matt Amodio, Mattea Roach, Sam Buttrey, and James Holzhauer. He’s playing for more than just bragging rights, too – a cool $500,000 and the coveted Trebek Trophy are up for grabs!
When Ken Jennings asked Andrew about his plans for his winnings, he gave a rather sweet answer. “I would love to help my friend, Vincent, start an ice cream company,” Andrew said. But when asked about his favorite ice cream flavor, he kept it a mystery, laughing as he insisted, “That’s a secret. I’m sorry.”
