‘Jeopardy!’ Record Breaker Amy Schneider Signs With CAA (Exclusive)

Amy is a STAH!

(S)he'll be starring in "Don't Call Me Cankles" the Hillary Clinton bio for OWN.

CAA is gross. A bunch of weak gays yielding all power to the trans mafia. This is a fucking revolution that demands a reactionary one. You cannot fucking choose your gender. To think so is fucking insanity and delusion. Ryan Murphy should be hung in the streets. Along with all the CAA actresses co-signing their childrens’ trans mental illness. And sadly no one is pushing back against this. It’s so fucking dark.

Meet your new Jeopardy host!

book

I found this clip from 2015 of a woman with the same name as Amy's ex-wife (when she was Thomas E. Schneider): Kelly Anneken. She talks about how she and her husband have a polyamorous marriage.

It's in the San Francisco area, and they did move to the Oakland area at some point. She indicates they've been married for 10 years, which lines-up with their marriage date (2004).

Here's her mother's Facebook. If you check her Friends list you'll find Amy, her brother John and father James T. Schneider.

Here's her dad's obituary. She was still married to Kelly Anneken and identifying as male in 2016. And apparently she is a twin (with brother John).

oops

Obviously, there’s something about being born with a penis that makes you good at Jeopardy.

Amy as Thomas E. Schneider- with his lovely wife Kelly Anneken.

She threw a twist into the seemingly endless parade of cis contestants.

Why do we need her dad’s obituary on DL.

this a new level of stalking and I’m extremely uncomfortable with it.

R13 I didn’t post it, but it’s public record and it’s easy to find.

r10 I think men are more willing to take risks. Whether it's a biological thing or a socialization thing is anyone's guess. I suppose it's a bit of both.

Male Amy really doesn't look that different.

Take a chill pill, R3. You're about to get some of that on us.

R11 Yikes is that thing she calls hair a wig then?

Amy is going to be the first Transvestite on the Chase. Ken and Brad and James are already on there.

She's not the most successful woman to play on Jeopardy, he is the fourth best man.

I'm guessing he will pop up as a guest star on some episodes of shows, "why, it's the most winningest woman on Jeopardy, here in this barber shop getting a shave! She's so stunning and brave!"

R12 There's no such thing as "cis contestants". If you mean regular people who don't have obvious deep-seated mental health issues, then maybe.

Whether she's a woman or a man, she did very well for herself. Or "that person" did very well for themselves... Admit it, Amy did a hell of a job on "Jeopardy" and her being trans has nothing to do with it. She did very, very well.

R22 No one has said he didn't do very, very well. Not sure why you feel the need to defend them using a strawman.

What does it need an agent for? Is it a Creative Artist?

Who is the most successful woman of Jeopardy? This man isn’t it and I’d be pissed if I were her.

Chasten Buttigieg is also repped by CAA.....He is a "teachers advocate", having spent entire months as a teacher in Hooterville Indiana. The fact that Chazzy doesn't leave home much tells me he probably has no one stupid enough to pay a 30 year old from Michigan to share any insights.

[quote]Schneider is the most successful man in a dress ever to compete on Jeopardy!

[quote] R22 No one has said he didn't do very, very well. Not sure why you feel the need to defend them using a strawman.

r23 It's the defender's distortion tactic and goal from the start: Pushing the conversation away from the exact controversial point that's totally wrong, anti-facts and anti-reality by bringing up other facts. "Whether... did very well for themselves... Admit it... being trans has nothing to do with it." Some of them show off their 'reasonable'-sounding version of wokeness by saying "I'm only against stuff where biological differences matter (sports) but I totally support this!".

No, this and sports are the same. People don't have a problem if they state facts like "first trans achieving this" or "this smart (or athletic) individual scored this much on their own merit". Sane people fight against the increasing propaganda lies to call men like this "first women" and put these males in the women's category. The same goes for counting certain male criminals as women (distortion of stats that should be factual).

Can’t wait to watch the tournament of champions. I really enjoyed watching Amy and Matt Amodio’s respective runs this season. I know they got on some people’s nerves, but I liked them both just fine.

Exciting too that Jeopardy has a new winningest woman in Amy. I for one don’t think she needs to be murdered or called “it” for having the audacity to transition and live as a woman. I also don’t understand the comparison of a trivia contest to a physical sport — are women supposedly in a different caste of intellect than men now?

[quote] are women supposedly in a different caste of intellect than men now?

No. This is simply a trans person's justified achievement to be celebrated. Nothing to do with women's.

Breaking: Transwomen Are Men.

What I liked about Amy is that she had grace and humility, and no annoying mannerisms and schtick like Amodio and Holzhauer. She just played the game with no BS.

Sorry...Amy is not a biological, or born female....so I don't think the "first woman" counts. This is not to take away from her/his achievement on Jeopardy. It's not easy for anyone to get in the top five winners on Jeopardy.

Amy is not a woman. Ergo, she cannot be the “first woman” anything. That said, Amy is a likable Jeopardy competitor. More power to Amy.

Let's bring back the word Transvestites.

Will they make her fix her teeth, get a weave and drop 30 lbs?

Part of the goal is not giving any attempt at "passing" beyond the superficial, like growing your hair out and wearing lipstick. That way women are more uncomfortable, because they can clock you a mile away and know you're in their formerly-private spaces. And you know they know, which gives you a thrill.

Trans = 1% of the population

There is no “revolution.”

[quote] Trans = 1% of the population

I'm sure it's much less than that.

Here's a more detailed obituary for her father. He died in a freak accident.

[quote] Who is the most successful woman of Jeopardy? This man isn’t it and I’d be pissed if I were her.

It was some woman named Carol and Amy paid tribute to her on the day she beat her record by dressing up as Carol and wearing an outfit Carol always wore on the show.

R38 r39 It's not the % of trans in a population that counts—it's the outlandishly disproportionate power this minuscule portion of the pop possesses to dictate policy in institutions countrywide, in corporate, the Biden administration, governments and agencies throughout Western countries, which is revolutionary.

Even more revolutionary is the trans proposition that the word “woman” means whatever a particular trans male says it means. Lady dicks. Surgically transing minors. Bio males who want pap tests, for validation, for fuck's sakes. Amy's twin sets and pearls are the least of it.

R40 Has Anne Romano commented yet?

Beanie Feldstein is playing her in the miniseries

Except for pretending to be a woman and falsely claiming to be the highest scoring "woman" in the history of the game. No, no BS at all.

How the hell have the Democrats ended up owning this?

Here's an interesting Facebook post from Amy Schneider, shortly after transitioning:

[quote] Amy Schneider created a fundraiser for Trans Lifeline May 28, 2019

[quote] For my birthday this year, I'm asking for donations to Trans Lifeline. As a few of you know, I've been going through a very difficult time the last few months, and this organization has been, well, a lifeline for me. It's looking like a tough road ahead for trans people, and we're going to need all the help we can get. Thanks!

[quote] Trans Lifeline is a national trans-led organization dedicated to improving the quality of trans lives by responding to the critical needs of our community with direct service, material support, advocacy, and education. Our vision is to end trans suicide and improve overall life-outcomes of trans people by facilitating justice-oriented, collective community aid.

Sounds like Amy is going to become an advocate/spokesperson for the trans community, hence the need for agency representation.

"Beanie Feldstein is playing her in the miniseries"

Over my dead body.

William Morris is the better agency, and only cows and trash would take an agency like CAA at their first nibble.

But what the hell does this silly moo need an agent for, anyway? Who does she think she is? Charles Nelson Reilly?

[quote] only cows and trash would take an agency like CAA at their first nibble.

Have you seen Amy?

Soon I will trans the entire world! Muhahahahahaha!

After seeing the male version she isn't taking hormones is she? Amy needs a make over and to start her physical transaction. That face is weird. Now with that money she needs to spiff up her looks.

I can't help think that 'he/she' just dressed up like a 'trans-whatever' to get the attention of the jeopardy contestant selection panel. Then when she later heard she was chosen, she thought 'oh shit, well I'm gonna have to wear woman's clothes on TV'. Then when she got in to a long run, she was thinking "fuck, I have nothing to wear!" I mean, wouldn't a season ed trans-whatever at least have more interest in make-up and clothes than she demonstrated for 30-odd shows?

She seems like a nice lady!

I'm with you R29. While I'm glad both Matt and Amy are finally gone since runaway games bore me to no end, I am looking forward to seeing them face off against each other in the TOC. Not to mention all the other stellar folks from this past season. It should be a very competitive tournament and I'm excited for it.

The fact that one of "her" facebook likes is some show called "Dominatrix Breakroom" is the least surprising thing ever.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

To all those people who began wondering if Jeopardy! may have been giving her just a wee bit of assistance for the sake of the trans 'revolution', I'd say this is it least a little evidence that the idea may not be so far fetched after all. I KNEW she would end up somehow getting a huge profile. And, here we are.

Gay men and lesbians matter not. Only trans.

Pretty pretty?

Pretty pretty?

[quote] 'Jeopardy!' winner Amy Schneider reveals what's next for her

Amy Schneider is no longer spending her days on the set of Jeopardy!, but she's not quite ready to resume her former life either.

The record-breaking contestant, who ended her streak of 40 wins Jan. 26, said Wednesday that she's taking a leave of absence from her job as a software engineer in Oakland, Calif.

"I thought I was going to be more excited to get back to my day job than it turns out I have been," Schneider revealed during a question and answer session with the New York Times on Twitter Spaces. "But I am going to be taking a leave of absence from that to kinda focus on this stuff and try to sort it all out and primarily... trying to put together a book proposal to see if that gets interest. That just really needs my focus."

Schneider was a hit on Jeopardy!, becoming the winningest woman in the show's history. She's also second on the list of contestants who won the most non-tournament games, the first openly transgender contestant to qualify for the Tournament of Champions and the fourth-ranked contestant on the list of those with the highest winnings during regular season play. Her takeaway was $1,382,800.

So, yes, the media coverage has been nonstop, even though Schneider expected that it would have died down by now.

"I also am having a lot of meetings with my agents, which is such a weird thing to hear myself say, but it's true," she said. "I signed with CAA" — the home of Tom Hanks, Zendaya, Reese Witherspoon and many more — "and they're, you know, excited about all kinds of different things."

She's also spending some of the cash that she accumulated.

"We went to this really fancy, boutique hotel in Half Moon Bay, Calif., last Saturday night, specifically for its giant bathtubs," Schneider responded to a question about her most frivolous purchase so far.

When Schneider was asked if she would consider competing on another game show, she seemed open, but confirmed reports that Jeopardy! contestants agree to wait six months before doing so.

"I have had some people express interest, and I was like, 'Get back to me in a few months. I'll see what I want to do,'" Schneider said. "I think I've already done the best one, as far as I'm concerned, so there is this, like, part of me that's like, 'Ah, it won't be as good.'"

Still, Jeopardy! was such a great experience for her that she's open to repeating it elsewhere.

First, of course, she'll compete in the next Tournament of Champions. The competitors she's most worried about facing are, in order, Matt Amodio, who sits just below her on that list of consecutive games won, and Andrew He, who Schneider defeated in her first game.

No BS? Amy's existence is total BS.

Dude looks like a lady.

Good for her! I'm happy for Amy's success.

Do they have to wait 6 months from the last appearance? Or 6 month is from their original appearance.

What if she wins the championship?

COLLEGE CHAMPIONSHIP starts tonight..ABC..Someone create an official thread (please)...

I want Amy Schneider to be the new Jeopardy! host.

Perhaps she'll use the money to get the chop.

[quote] Perhaps she'll use the money to get the chop.

Are you implying that I have a COCK???!!!

I never realized how much society hated strong (real) women until all the trans record-breakers arrived and were showered as the best women ever.

R68 With quite the full foreskin, as I recall.

r69 do they like trans women because real women are endless nags?

Her "leave" from her job has turned into "I QUIT!" Book deal in the works, the tour will end in Bangladesh...

When does the Playboy layout come out?

Barnum and Bailey would be in heaven in today's world.

[quote] Book deal in the works, the tour will end in Bangladesh...

I hope you're joking.

I don't think trans people are welcome in Bangladesh.

Ken Jennings just turns me off. He's ugly, wooden, humorless, boring... So I've mostly stopped watching.

why did she quit her job? It's not like she won 10 million dollars!

Book deals can be pretty lucrative. And there's the speaking circuit. She can always go back to IT when her 15 minutes are up.

Book deals for nobodies like her fetch around $100,000. That will last her a year. Shouldn’t have quit her job. This is just like Shelly Long quitting Cheers thinking there are other opportunities but there aren’t.

Fuck you, R79!

I'm the new "It" Girl!

[quote]I'm the new "It" Girl!

The was no need to add the last word in your post...

I think Amy is striking while the iron is hot. She has a lot of goodwill on social media, and her Jeopardy win will be remembered for some time until the next trans person breaks her run.

I hope she earns enough money for the plastic surgery on the face

They obviously have had no surgery yet (and no hormones from what I can see). They need to hit the gym, also.

Amy Schneider and Pete Buttigieg look like they could be related.

Please get: a nose job; some hormones; some makeup; some weave; a stylist.

I always think it's such a shame when moderately attactive men become butt-ugly women. However, in Amy's case, she was just as ugly as a man. And balding.

Gotta cash in while the gettin' is good, just like Grumpy Cat, Rachel Dolezal, the JetBlue guy, and the Qanon Shaman.

This fucken guy.

I really had no idea how much women were hated until men started to pretend to be them and were accepted and celebrated unconditionally.

[quote]Please get: a nose job; some hormones; some makeup; some weave; a stylist.

Or he could forget all of those and just get a reality check.

He looks exactly like a man at R86 when he’s out of drag.

So Amy thinks she's going to become a movie star now?

R92 She's momentarily famous, and an agent will help maximize the offers before they dry up.

That idiot pilot Sully Sullenberger got an agent during his fame window. Meanwhile, all the other pilots who avoided hitting birds that day simply went back to work.

She doesn't sound that bright in regular conversation. Does she have some idiot savant for random facts?

[quote] That idiot pilot Sully Sullenberger got an agent during his fame window.

How is that man an idiot? Sounds like you're repeating some sour grapes from pilots. You cannot avoid birds that fly into the path of the plane. What do you think he was piloting? A race car?

Love a troll calling Sully an idiot while applauding an ugly guy in a dress...

R96 At least Amy never flew her plane into geese in broad daylight! Sully is famous because he fucked up and survived by some miracle. Amy is famous because she auditioned for a game show, went on it, and kicked ass.

Sully kicked that goose's ass!

R97 is the worst troll ever. Really? Geese are your chosen troll subject? I love the image you must have in your brain of people piloting giant aircraft like they're in a video game, dodging obstacles by throwing the plane all over the place.

Now, now, let's not fight about it. The important thing to remember is that Sully and Amy both have a penis.

I thought she had said that she has had the chop?

What is CAA?

R101 Like most of today's "trans women", Amy is a straight male with a cross dressing fetish. Amy is unable to become sexually aroused unless she is wearing women's panties and such. Due to changing social mores, cross dressing fetishists feel emboldened to engage in their fetish in public.
