At the Final Jeopardy phase, the category was “Plays,” and the answer was “The Jan. 12, 1864 Washington evening star reported on a performance of this ‘dashing comedy’ to ‘a full and delighted house.’”
With a $13,000 wager, Schneider answered correctly with “What is ‘Our American Cousin?’” This sizable bet clinched her the victory, and the $250,000 grand prize for the show.
“I feel amazing,” Schneider said following her victory. “Earlier in the finals, I had this sudden moment of seeing myself and being like, ‘I’m on stage in the Tournament of Champions finals,’ and that was crazy. And I won! It’s a great feeling.”
I owe so much to so many people today. But above all, I can’t find enough ways to say how lucky I am that the most amazing woman in the world has chosen to spend her life with me. I love you, Genevieve, and I could never, ever have done this without you ❤️❤️❤️ pic.twitter.com/gKwOfYz9C5

“Any of the three of us really could have won if a very small number of things had gone differently,” Schneider said. “I’m glad we got a really fair chance to test our skills against each other.”
In addition to her Champion title, Schneider also maintains one of the longest Jeopardy! winning streaks in the show’s history with 40 consecutive victories during her appearances in Season 38.
