Matt Amodio is back on Jeopardy! and on social media … but not in the way fans would expect.
The last time fans saw him on TV, he set a record-shattering streak during season 38, playing 39 games and winning over $1.5 million in prize money. This was back in October 2021, and now, the Ohio native is making his highly anticipated return for the 2022 Tournament of Champions alongside fellow season champions Amy Schneider and Mattea Roach.
Amid the news that Amodio will grace the Jeopardy! stage again, he also broke his silence on Twitter after close to a year of not being active. But it wasn’t what viewers thought he would say. “I’m sure you love my patented written wit here on Twitter,” he wrote on November 2. “But if you were thinking something more personalized and video-y would be cool during the ToC, you can check me (and other champs) out at @bookcameo. https://cameo.com/amodiomatt.”

While the news of Amodio taking his talents to Cameo was definitely surprising, fans were still thrilled to see him active once again. In case you’re wondering, Cameo is a platform where folks can put in a request to their favorite celebrity to have them create a personalized video message for them.
What’s more, Jeopardy! fans let him know how excited they were to see him back on their screens. “Really looking forward to seeing you in action again, Matt!” one person wrote on Twitter. “The Tournament of Champions simply means I will be returning to my insufferable crush on Matt Amodio era 💕💕,” another viewer commented. “Is it the #Jeopardy Tournament of Champions next week or the Matt Amodio Revenge Match Tournament?!?” a different follower added.
