Ok you can't just say that and not elaborate
Matt Immodio had a massive streak of wins, where he was on every night and basically dominated the board. Like I said, at the time especially I watched Jeopardy basically every night with my parents and grandmother.
As you may know one of the gimmicks of Jeopardy is that your response must be in the form of a question. So the clue in category "Famous Interviewers" would be something like "This famous interview at Weehawken left Alexander Hamilton dead, and ended his interviewers' political career" and the answer would be "Who is Aaron Burr?"
Immodio figured out that while you had to have every detail in the answer correct to get points, they would accept any interrogative. So he'd answer everything with "what's..." "What's Aaron Burr" "What's Liechtenstein" "What's Princess Diana." Strategically, probably a good move, but I found it highly grating, and then he just kept winning. He was dominant, tabbed as the near certain winner of the Tournament of Champions that year, so naturally when another major winner rose up I was rooting for Amy to win the ToC, which she ultimately did.
