Amy has the second-longest Jeopardy! streak ever with $1.3 million.

She eventually won the last round, causing her third win, and making her champion with a total of $250,000.

Now, she shared a behind-the-scenes photo from that day.

One adorable photo was of her nearly kissing her wife, Genevieve.

Someone snapped a photo from the sidelines of the set of their faces very close together with a smile on Genevieve’s face.

Amy’s back was towards the camera.

“I owe so much to so many people today. But above all, I can’t find enough ways to say how lucky I am that the most amazing woman in the world has chosen to spend her life with me,” she captioned the post.

“I love you, Genevieve, and I could never, ever have done this without you.”

ALL-AROUND CHAMPION

Many fans took to the comments to applaud her not only for her win, but her relationship as well.

“These smiles!!! Congratulations, Amy! You are a champion in more ways than one,” wrote one fan.

“Congratulations on your win! You deserve your wonderful wife and life!” said another.

A third chimed in: “I’m sure I speak for many when I say that those of us on Team Amy are also on Team Genevieve! Congrats on your Jeopardy win and on your marriage, you lucky two you!”

“Congratulations Amy! We’ve been rooting for you here all week!!! Love this pic and so very glad that you found happiness together!!!” tweeted a Jeopardy! fan.

“This is so sweet. You both gaze at each other with such love in your eyes. I’m really happy for you both,” commented a fan.

“Y’all are so sweet, it’s giving me a cavity! Congratulations on a well deserved win!” added on last fan.

AMY-ZING!

Amy snagged the title of Champion on November 21st.

She is a 40-time winner, however.

The 43-year-old faced 5-time champ Andrew He and fan-favorite professor’s tournament winner Sam Buttrey in six ferocious finals games.

On Monday – with two wins for Amy, two for Andrew, and one for Sam- Amy won it all.

She emerged as the first player to win three matches (the number needed to win), looking beyond thrilled as she stared at the camera in disbelief and her fellow finalists applauded.

Going into Final Jeopardy, it could have been anyone’s game.

Amy had $15,600, Andrew right behind at $14,200 and $8,000.

Under the category “Plays” it read: “The January 12th, 1864 Washington Evening Star reported on this ‘dashing comedy’ to a ‘full and delighted house.'”

The correct answer was the infamous “Our Country Cousin,” and Amy ensured her bet would not be upstaged.

She wagered a huge $13,000 as the crowd gasped – blocking out Andrew’s maximum by $200 if correct – she won with $28,600.

“Amy Schneider, that’s your third win!” host Ken Jennings, 48, announced as the crowd roared – Andrew went home with $100K and Sam $50K.

Fans were ecstatic for her and some of them admitted they teared up.

Amy made history as the first transgender tournament winner.
