Jerome Vered

Studio City, California writer Jerome Vered (circa 1958) entered the annals of Jeopardy! history with his multiple record-breaking five-day run in 1992, during which he shattered the one-day record for dollar winnings with $34,000 in one episode, which would not be broken, adjusted for a 2001 rule change (it would have been $68,000 after the rule change), until Ken Jennings broke the record in 2004 with a $75,000 win, and also logged the five-day take-home record.
