I just caught up on my Jeopardy DVR. I thought for sure he was out during that very close game but he held on.

Damn, he's good!

Dominex Kovacs, a software engineer from Sacramento, California, almost defeated Jeopardy! champion Jamie Ding in an episode that aired on April 8, 2026. Kovacs took the lead late in the game by going all-in on Daily Doubles, but ultimately lost to Ding in Final Jeopardy. Kovacs has now opened up on Reddit about the experience, explaining his thought process and the highs and lows of the close match.

He's so quick with his answers. I remarked to a friend today that I wonder if he has photographic memory...his knowledge is so broad based.
