Season 40’s episode 210 saw three contestants battle it out to claim the title and win the prize money: Cat Pisacano, a nurse from New York; Andrew Fox, a clinical psychologist from Minnesota; and Drew Basile, a graduate student from Michigan.
At one point during the episode, host Ken Jennings asked the contestants to name a certain internet celebrity: “In 2024, this streamer announced to his nine million followers on Twitch that he inked a deal with Nike.”

Without hesitating, Drew quickly snagged the opportunity to answer first, confidently and correctly stating “Kai Cenat” was the streamer in question.
Following his feature on the show, Kai was informed by viewers during one of his streams and quickly found the clip of his appearance.
“What do you mean ‘the biggest streamer doing it’ featured on Jeopardy! show?” Kai said when first hearing about the news, insisting those in his chat were “lying” as he searched up the episode.
Watching the clip with his mouth agape, Kai stood from his chair and repeatedly shouted, “Oh my God” after Drew named him. Jumping up and down in excitement, the streamer yelled, “Yo, I’m on Jeopardy!”
Despite Drew correctly answering “Kai Cenat” and holding a 7-game winning streak on Jeopardy! before episode 210, he ultimately lost to Cat – making her the new defending champion
