I consider anyone who has won at least 10 Jeopardy games a superstar as Ray Lalonde reached that milestone by winning on last night's show. He now ranks #14 in the list of highest-money winners in regular season games, not including tournaments. Here are his statistics according to The Jeopardy Fan:
261 correct, 30 incorrect
20/23 on rebound attempts (on 36 rebound opportunities)
42.63% in first on buzzer (243/570)
15/15 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $44,100)
8/10 in Final Jeopardy
He is a scenic artist from Ontario, Canada who has a penchant for swaying back and forth which annoyed some viewers. There is a report that he suffered some spinal cord damage over a period of years and had to work hard to prevent muscle spasms in his legs while he was on camera.
Nobody knows how many more games he will win. A big milestone for him would be to become the winningest Canadian by beating the record of 23 victories by Matea Roche.
