Congrats, Thanks, and Goodbye to Larissa Kelly!

Well, it sure was fun while it lasted! Larissa Kelly gave it a good run, but her reign as Jeopardy! champion has come to an end. Larissa is the first female to win more than five games, and she’s the #1 woman for money won in regular games. As my friend SamJay has pointed out elsewhere, she will undoubtedly be back for the Tournament of Champions. We look forward to seeing Larissa then. Here she is winning Tuesday’s show, and tomorrow I’ll wrap-up with her loss.

This video is from an SD recording. The previous two videos were taken from Verizon FiOS HD. Even in this greatly reduced format I think the difference in brightness and color quality is apparent. The picture below is a cropped snapshot of my HD screen, as taken with a digital camera. Click to enlarge.

Larissa Kelly on Jeopardy!

Best wishes to Larissa and her husband Jeff! With the real estate market the way it is for the foreseeable future, they should have no trouble making the most of turning Larissa’s winnings into a down payment on a home.

Larissa Kelly Feature Article

Monday, this blog had about 2,400 hits. Yesterday, it had 24,000 hits. The difference between those two numbers is a name, and that name is Larissa Kelly. The Contra Costa Times has a feature article about Larissa that you can read at this link. Highlights include:

  • Larissa’s shows were taped in February.
  • She’s currently out of the country.
  • Sony Entertainment issued a news release saying “she will make history.”

Be sure to check out the El Cerritto Wire for much more from Larissa.
