On a roll, Amy Schneider now holds the second-longest 'Jeopardy!' streak of all time

Reigning "Jeopardy!" champion Amy Schneider has officially achieved the second-longest winning streak in the quiz show's history.

So far, no one has come close to catching current "Jeopardy!" host Ken Jennings, who notched a colossal 74 consecutive victories as a contestant in 2004.
