A writer from Washington, D.C.... Tom Walsh
People of Washington, I'm Tom Walsh from Capitol Hill. We still don’t have a baseball team to root for. But we do have me. Watch me on Jeopardy! See if I can hit it out of the park.
2005 Ultimate Tournament of Champions Nifty Nine (players with byes into Round 2) member: $25,000. 2004 Tournament of Champions 1st runner-up: $50,000. Season 20 7-time champion: $184,900 + $2,000. Tom became the first 7-time champion on the game aired Tuesday, January 13, 2004, beating Sean Ryan's earlier record of 6 games. Later in Season 20 Ken Jennings would beat Tom's records for number of games played and amount of cash accumulated many times over. (Ken's accumulated total after his 7th win on Thursday, June 10, 2004 was $231,000.) After leading going into Final Jeopardy! in his UToC Round 2 game, Tom lost to Michael Rooney when Tom wrote "Edward I" instead of "Edward the Confessor" in his response and Catherine Ramen's wager from second place neglected to cover Rooney.
