David Madden (Jeopardy! contestant)
David Madden is currently a fourteen-time undefeated champion on the television game show Jeopardy! as of the episode aired July 22nd, 2005. Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek has remarked that David achieves runaway games (where one person's score is more than twice that of the second-place contestant at the end of the Double Jeopardy! round) much like Jeopardy! super-champion Ken Jennings (the best player in history). His current winnings now total $333,301. He has already beaten Tom Walsh's milestones of consecutive wins and all-time earnings, further displacing Walsh from second to third in all-time standings for those two categories..
In addition to his 'runaway' record, his play features very low, cautious wagers, and the selection of higher valued clues when approaching a category, likely 'fishing' for the Daily Doubles.
He is a graduate of Princeton University, originally from Ridgewood, New Jersey, and currently lives in Berlin, Germany where he is a graduate student pursuing his master's degree in International relations.
