Chris D\u2019Angelo \u2018Jeopardy!\u2019 winning streak continues<\/h3>\n

So far D\u2019Angelo, who is described on the show as a content manager from Washington, D.C., is on a six-game winning streak with just over $124,000. His impressive \u201cJeopardy!\u201d run started on May 20 with a victory over 10-game champ Tristan Williams.<\/p>\n

During his first game, D\u2019Angelo shared that his sister, Jen D\u2019Angelo, is an Emmy Award-winning TV and movie writer who wrote the screenplay for the 2023 Hulu film \u201cQuiz Lady,\u201d starring Awkwafina and Sandra Oh. He told \u201cJeopardy!\u201d host Ken Jennings the film \u2014 which won an Emmy for outstanding television movie in 2024 \u2014 is \u201cpartially inspired\u201d by his efforts to get on the show.<\/p>\n
