  • Bradford "Brad" Rutter is best known as a contestant on the U.S. syndicated game show Jeopardy!. Rutter became an undefeated five-time champion on Jeopardy! in 2000 and subsequently won an unprecedented three Jeopardy! tournament titles: the 2001 Tournament of Champions, the Million Dollar Masters Tournament, and the Ultimate Tournament of Champions. Following his third tournament win, in which he defeated Ken Jennings and Jerome Vered in the finals, Rutter surpassed Jennings as the highest money-winner ever on American game shows. Jennings subsequently regained his record by appearing on various other game shows, culminating in an appearance on Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?. Rutter retained the record for Jeopardy! winnings with either $3,255,102 or $3,270,102, and a pair of Chevrolet Camaros ($55,102 in five-day winnings, $100,000 and $1,000,000 and either $2,100,000 or $2,115,000 in his three tournaments respectively). In twenty games, Rutter has never lost a match of Jeopardy!, though he has twice trailed at the end of the first game of a two-day match before coming back to win in the second game — against Rick Knutsen in the finals of the 2001 Tournament of Champions, and against John Cuthbertson in the semifinals of the Ultimate Tournament of Champions.
