After conquering the world of ‘Jeopardy!’, trivia icon Amy Schneider is walking away from it all for a shocking new career that absolutely no one saw coming.
‘Jeopardy!’s Amy Schneider Reveals Career Pivot
Amy Schneider, who people are familiar with from her many appearances on the Jeopardy! stage, shared the surprising news that she has been spending time on a different sort of stage as a budding stand-up comedian.
The Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions winner opened up about the new venture during an appearance on the Inside Jeopardy! podcast episode, which premiered on March 3.
Hosts Sarah Whitcomb Foss and Sam Buttrey spoke to Schneider about how she prepared for her latest appearance on Jeopardy!
The 45-year-old revealed that she couldn’t devote as much time as usual to preparing because she was busy with the San Francisco Sketchfest at the end of January.
Noting how she usually prepares “in the background like I have been my whole life, just by watching the show and learning things all the time,” Schneider explained, “This time, it just so happened to come after San Francisco Sketchfest, which is a big comedy festival that I was a lot more involved in than I expected.”
Buttrey spotlighted her comedy career later in the episode, saying, “Fans should know that you’re a budding standup comedian because you were nice enough to send me 10 minutes of your routine.”
During the San Francisco Sketchfest, Schneider participated in various events, including an episode of the podcast StraightioLab, the comedy show Trans-It Girls, and Comedian Clash: A Game Show Experience.
In addition to her success on Jeopardy! and her growing experience in the comedy world, Schneider is also a writer, who just released Who Is Amy Schneider?: Questions on Growing Up, Being Curious, and Winning It Big on Jeopardy!, a young readers edition of her 2023 memoir, In the Form of a Question: The Joys and Rewards of a Curious Life.
