Amy Schneider’s Jeopardy! Masters Exit Opens New Chapter Ahead of March 12 Event
San Francisco, CA
Following her recent elimination from the Jeopardy! Masters tournament, Amy Schneider is shifting gears and focusing on her next major appearance: a live conversation at Chronicle Live at Manny’s on March 12, 2025.
Schneider, who made history with a 40-game winning streak and became a household name on Jeopardy!, was eliminated in the quarterfinal round of the Masters tournament, finishing in 5th place. While the early exit marked an unexpected end to her run, it has allowed her to dedicate more time to upcoming events and projects, including the highly anticipated release of her young adult memoir, “Who is Amy Schneider?”, set to hit shelves on March 4, 2025.
“While I would’ve loved to go further in the tournament, I see this as an opportunity to focus on the things I’m passionate about—storytelling, education, and connecting with my community,” Schneider shared in a recent interview.
The March 12 event at Manny’s in San Francisco will offer fans a deeper dive into Schneider’s journey, both on and off the Jeopardy! stage. She will join San Francisco Chronicle arts and culture columnist Tony Bravo for a candid conversation about her life, her groundbreaking role on Jeopardy!, and the importance of embracing curiosity and continuous learning.
The evening will also feature a light trivia segment—giving attendees a chance to test their knowledge alongside one of the greatest Jeopardy! champions.
Organizers say that Schneider’s recent tournament experience will add a fresh perspective to the upcoming event, as she reflects on her evolution as a competitor and public figure.
“Amy’s journey on Jeopardy! was never just about winning—it was about breaking barriers and inspiring others,” Bravo noted. “Her early exit from the Masters doesn’t take away from that legacy. If anything, it highlights her resilience and forward-thinking mindset.”
With her schedule now freed from the competitive demands of Jeopardy! Masters, Schneider is fully focused on her March 12 appearance and the release of her new memoir, which offers young readers an inspiring look into her life, identity, and love for trivia.
Tickets for the Chronicle Live at Manny’s event are now available, with a portion of proceeds supporting local educational initiatives.
“I’m excited to take this next step—sharing my story in new ways and continuing to advocate for curiosity, inclusion, and lifelong learning,” Schneider added.
Her journey, while marked by record-breaking wins and high-profile appearances, continues to evolve—proof that there’s always more to the story than what fits into a Final Jeopardy! clue.
