McShane Collects 4th Jeopardy! Title, Totals $62K

West Islip native won again Wednesday night.

Big Brain Dan McShane did it again.

The social media heartthrob (as evidenced by these ), won his fourth consecutive Jeopardy! title on Wednesday night, completely schooling his opposition. Even Alex Trebek was impressed.  

The and Johns Hopkins grad and MLB game logger added $21,600 to his total, which is now at $62,001. So long student loans.

He'll go for his fifth straight victory tonight at 7 p.m. on ABC (but cheaters can get a sneak peak at 5 p.m. on TV55). He has a rare opportunity of becoming one of the show's only people to knock off a Superchamp (he did on Friday) and become a Superchamp (contestant who has won at least six times. There have only been 18 in Jeopardy! history).  

But if there's anyone who can retain, it's McShane.
