Roger Alan Craig (born c. 1977) is an American game show contestant and computer scientist. He held the record for highest single-day winnings on the quiz showJeopardy! from September 14, 2010 (surpassing Ken Jennings) to April 9, 2019 (when James Holzhauer surpassed him). In 2011, Craig returned to win the Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions. In 2014, he competed in the Battle of the Decades tournament, finishing third overall behind Brad Rutter and Ken Jennings.

Early life and career[edit]

Craig, who was 33 years old at the time of his initial Jeopardy! appearance in 2010,^[1][2] is a native of Ferndale, Pennsylvania. He grew up there and later in Virginia, where he graduated from Annandale High School in 1995.^[3]

He holds a first degree in biology and biochemistry from Virginia Tech, and a master's degree and Ph.D in computer science from the University of Delaware. He was working on his doctorate at the time of his first appearance on Jeopardy!, and completed the degree later in 2010.^[2][3][4]

In his scholarly career, he has published eight papers in the field of bioinformatics, specifically on topics of combinatorial protein synthesis and protein-protein prediction.^[5][6]

As of November 2011 he was living in Newark, Delaware, and working as a computer scientist.^[4] He is the founder of Cotinga, a company which performs data analyses and creates learning applications for smartphones.^[7] Craig was a guest on KFC Radio of Barstool Sports on August 23, 2012.^[8]

Jeopardy![edit]

Preparation[edit]

Craig prepared for Jeopardy! by studying the online archive of past questions maintained on the J! Archive website. Using. Castrodale won when she gave the correct response to the Final Jeopardy question about the winner of the 2010 Super Bowl, while Craig gave an incorrect response.^[18]

In his seven-day run, Craig earned $231,200,^[19] all except $1,000 of which was from winning episodes.^[20] This total was the sixth-highest amount of money won non-tournament on the show, ranking Craig behind Ken Jennings, Julia Collins, David Madden, Arthur Chu, and Austin Rogers.^[1]

On April 9, 2019, professional gambler James Holzhauer broke Craig's single-day record, surpassing it fifteen more times during his own run; the record now stands at $131,127 as of April 17, 2019. Holzhauer, like Craig, relied on aggressive Daily Double and Final Jeopardy! wagers to amass his totals. Holzhauer also surpassed Craig's records for most earnings won in a player's first five games and largest successful bet on a Daily Double.^[17]

Tournament play[edit]

In 2011, Craig returned for the Tournament of Champions, which aired in November. In the quarter-final match, he had $200 shy of $40,000 going into Final Jeopardy! and won despite losing $20,200 after getting it wrong. In the semi-final match, described as 'a bloody, epic, inter-planetary death match... the Jeopardy! equivalent of a title-unification fight',^[21] Craig beat Joon Pahk and Mark Runsvold, the sixth and tenth regular-play all-time money winners on the show. On the first night of the two-day finals, he became the first player in the history of the show to uncover two Daily Double items in succession, wager all of his money on both, and win both times.^[22]

When Craig hit the first of his back-to-back Daily Doubles, he wagered his entire pot of $9,000, and won when he correctly identified Anne Brontë as the author who wrote the 1847 book Agnes Grey under the pseudonym 'Acton Bell'. After switching categories and uncovering the second daily double, he wagered his entire pot of $18,000, winning when he correctly answered, 'What is Suriname?' after being given the clue 'Although Dutch is the official language, Sranan Tongo is spoken by most people in this South American country.' His $18,000 win was, at the time, the largest successful Daily Double wager in the show's history.^[23][24]

Craig won the Tournament of Champions. In the finals, he defeated Buddy Wright and Tom Nissley (the latter being the show's fourth highest all-time non-tournament money winner), to win the $250,000 tournament prize.^[25]

Craig returned for the Jeopardy! Battle of the Decades tournament on April 1, 2014, as part of the 2000s Week. Facing Vijay Balse (2010 Tournament of Champions winner) and Stephanie Jass, he defeated Balse by $1 and advanced to the quarterfinals. He won in the quarterfinals on May 5, facing off against Robin Carroll (2000 Tournament of Champions winner) and Leszek Pawlowicz (1992 Tournament of Champions winner).

He defeated Pam Mueller (Fall 2000 College Championship winner) and Colby Burnett (Fall 2012 Teachers Tournament and 2013 Tournament of Champions winner) in the semifinals and advanced to the finals where he placed third. Craig was hurt in the finals by two 'True Daily Double' wagers, one on each day of the two-day final, in which he risked $10,200 and responded incorrectly both times.

He later appeared in the 2019 All-Star Games with team captain Austin Rogers and 2013 Teen Tournament winner Leonard Cooper. His team went home with $75,000 after losing the wild card match.

Records[edit]

During his Jeopardy! appearances, Craig set the following records:

In a talk at New York University, he said he went to a website called J! Archive, where fans have diligently recorded the clues on the show, game after game.

Among his findings: high value questions are culled from academic fields like art, science, biology, and architecture, while low value questions tend to come from more popular topics like food, 'firsts', and inventions. Based on these types of weightings and his performance on random questions selected by his app, Craig was able to deduce topics he needed to study, like fashion. Three other contestants used the web app to good effect on the show, at least according to the anonymous quotes collected by Craig. His next venture: an iPhone app that will let anyone study in a similar fashion.
