The winning streak of standout "Jeopardy!" contestant Austin Rogers is at an end.
Rogers, a New York
City bartender, lost narrowly on Thursday's show after
a 12-game winning streak.
A "Jeopardy!" spokeswoman said Rogers ' $411,000 put him in fifth place in
"Jeopardy!" all-time regular season winnings.
The new "Jeopardy!" champ is Scarlett Sims of Oak Ridge , Tennessee , who
ended up with $51 more than Rogers
— $33,201 to his $33,150.
While "Jeopardy!" contestants are reliably
serious, Rogers
reveled in goofy antics and wisecracks.
He'll be back on the show next month, competing in the
two-week "Jeopardy!" tournament of champions that begins Nov. 6.
