* Final Jeopardy in the Celebrity Jeopardy 2022-23 final. It was a pretty close game before FJ, but the ending is what takes the cake. Patton Oswalt wagered double his money for the final, ending up with $72,000. However Ike Barinholtz, who had $50,000, ended up wagering $22,001, which was enough to beat Patton by one dollar.

One of whom wagered [[{{Bookends}} his entire score to beat Matt.]] In a meta moment of awesome, Matt's loss was the first time an champion of his stature's loss wasn't spoiled before it aired (there was speculation of Ken's loss months prior to its airing, while James' was spoiled on the day of its end by newspapers).
*** It speaks to how strong all three players in this game were when ''all three'' made it to the 30th Tournament of Champions: Matt and Jonathan as champions in their own right, and Jessica Stephens as one of the two winners of the Second Chance Tournament.

* The culmination of Schneider's success came during the much-anticipated 2022 Tournament of Champions. While Amy Schneider accompanied Matt Amodio & Mattea Roach as participants in that ToC, she was the only one to become a finalist alongside Andrew He, the five-day champion also mentioned in the above example, and Sam Buttrey, the winner of that season's Professors' Tournament. Schneider won the Tournament of Champions in three games in Game 6 of the seven-day tournament.

* For those who appreciate superchamps, Season 38 has turned out to be one long CMOA, featuring the second half of Matt Amodio's run back-to-back with Jonathan Fisher's run, 5-day champ Tyler Rhode, massive gambler (and 5-day champ) Andrew He, Amy Schneider's record-setting run, Mattea Roach's 23-day hot streak, ''and'' Ryan Long's incredible run. If you're counting, that's seven superchampions, ''three'' of whom who managed to surpass 20 days when only five people have managed to do that in history.

Dane Reighard, the returning champion, and challenger Andrew He both wagered huge amounts during their games, making for one of the most competitive games of the season. In Final Jeopardy, each risked staggering amounts (Dane, who was slightly behind, wagered $25,999; Andrew wagered $22,001). Dane won $51,999...and Andrew won just $2 more, setting a record for biggest win in a day. Ken Jennings, who was hosting that day, called Dane and Andrew "two crackerjack players" late in the game.
