But also: “As a huge fan of the show, once I realized Amy’s significance in ‘Jeopardy!’ history, I felt incredibly humbled to play against her, let alone be the one to bring her streak to an end. I intensely admire Amy. Her breadth and depth of knowledge is just unreal, and she is a kind, good humored, confident-yet-humble person. Basically, she embodies all the traits I strive for in myself! I really see her as a role model, and so getting to play a role — especially this role — in her ‘Jeopardy!’ story is beyond anything I could have imagined when I found out I was cast.
