Invitational Tournament, but there are some notable absences, including legendary players such as Brad Rutter and Julia Collins. Show bosses Michael Davies and Sarah Whitcomb-Foss discussed the upcoming Jit on the latest episode of the Inside Jeopardy! podcast, where they teased what was to come and addressed those absences. “Everyone listening, you now get to have the same pre-jit excitement we had in Jeopardy! production time before we made the Jit,” Davies said, referring to the fan reaction to the recently revealed field of 27. “We’ve now produced the Jit, and we know how sensational it is,” he continued. “And we’re just excited for all of you to see these legendary players compete against each other on the Alex Trebek Stage.

Julia Collins’s monster Jeopardy! winning streak ended at 20 yesterday, when she let a customarily large lead vanish and then missed the Final Jeopardy clue asking for the name of the author who won an Oscar for adapting his own novel into a screenplay in 1999. (It was John Irving.) She departs the show in second place for most consecutive victories, after Ken Jennings, who won 74 straight games in 2004; she also takes home $428,100 in winnings, the third-highest total ever, which makes Collins the winningest female Jeopardy! champion of all time by a wide margin. That distinction, as well as her cheerful personality, earned her legions of fans, a sharp contrast to another recent Jeopardy! star, Arthur Chu, who was widely villainized during his 11-game streak earlier this season for his aggressive style and rumpled appearance. Vulture reached Collins, 31, on Tuesday morning to discuss her victorious run and what the out-of-work supply...

On Monday, Julia Collins’ 20-game Jeopardy! winning streak came to an end when she bet everything on a Final Jeopardy clue that read: “The New England writer who in 1999 became the last person to win an Oscar for adapting his own novel as a screenplay.” Collins guessed Michael Chabon, when the correct answer was John Irving. However, despite her loss, Collins’ 20-game record puts her in second place for the most consecutive wins on the show, behind only Ken Jennings, and makes her the winningest woman in the show’s history.
But what was it about the final clue that threw her?...

Who is Julia Collins? She’s the most successful woman in the history of Jeopardy! – and unfortunately, her time on the show has come to an end.
Collins lost during her 21st appearance, which aired Monday, after betting everything in Final Jeopardy and answering the question incorrectly. The clue that stumped her? “The New England writer who in 1999 became the last person to win an Oscar for adapting his own novel as a screenplay.” The correct answer: “Who is John Irving?” (Collins guessed Michael Chabon instead.)
Collins lost to Brian Loughnane — but walked away from the show with a total of $428,100 and 20 victories.

Julia Collins extended her winning streak on Jeopardy for another day on Thursday night’s show.
Julia Collins Wins Again On 'Jeopardy'
Collins, 31, has now won 19 rounds of Jeopardy, which means she’s now tied with season 22 contestant David Madden for the most consecutive non-tournament wins. Far ahead in first place is Ken Jennings, who won 74 games in a row for $2.5 million in Jeopardy’s 21st season.
“It’s so exciting,” Collins told the Chicago Sun Times. “If I’d lost today it would have been disappointing, but how could I complain about this experience?”
Collins’ current cash prize amounts to $410,000. Her success on Jeopardy so far makes her the best female contestant to ever appear on the show. She’s accumulated more money and won more rounds than any that have come before her.
It’s unknown how far Collins, who began taping her appearances on Jeopardy back in January,...

On April 8, an environmental compliance manager from Baltimore named Derrick Shivar hauled in $22,800 on Jeopardy! His triumph would be otherwise unremarkable in the annals of the storied game show except for this: That was was the last time a man won a match on the show. Since then, women have been on an unprecedented run on a program that has long been a target for complaints from feminists and other critics wondering why, for three decades now, the vast majority of players and winners have been male.The current champ, Julia Collins from Wilmette, Illinois, rolls cheerfully into Thursday’s show on a 18-game winning streak, during which she has amassed $391,600. She long ago surpassed the prior top female money winner, Larissa Kelly, and now she’s won more games in a row than all but two players in the game’s history. Tonight, the 31-year-old Wellesley alum with a...

Rapper Macklemore and producer Ryan Lewis will appear on an episode of MTV's "Random Acts of mtvU," a new program that "rewards hard-working, civic-minded college students," on May 7. The popular collaborators, responsible for hits like "Thrift Shop," will be surprising a student at St. Joseph's University in Philadelphia.
Julia Collins, who is a huge fan of the artists, has been volunteering at St. Joseph's "Summer Scholars" program, which supports lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (Lgbt) homeless youth. Macklemore and Lewis have both also worked with the organization.
"To me their music really means change and a lot of progress," Collins said in a preview of the episode (see above).
During the segment, the duo surprises the student with two VIP tickets to see them perform at the Hangout Festival in Alabama.
Macklemore and Lewis have been vocal allies of the Lgbt community, perhaps most visibly with their popular track, "Same Love.
