1. Ken Jennings - Wikipedia →

    In 2004, Jennings won 74 Jeopardy! games before he was defeated by challenger Nancy Zerg on his 75th appearance.

    The Final Jeopardy! category was Business & Industry, and the answer was “Most of this firm’s 70,000 seasonal white-collar employees work only four months a year”. Zerg responded correctly with “What is H&R Block?”. Her wager of $4,401 took her score to $14,401, $1 ahead of Jennings. Jennings responded with “What is FedEx?”, dropping his score by $5,601 to $8,799 and unseating him as Jeopardy! champion.
