  Ian Lygo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ian Lygo is the former sole holder of the record for the most consecutive appearances by a contestant on a television game show, having made 75 appearances on the UK game show 100% in late 1998, with the 75th appearance occurring on 14 December of that year.
The announcer (Robin Houston) just said, 'Well done' and 'goodbye.'" Lygo was, however, given a bottle of champagne by Grundy for his achievement.

Ian Lygo is the former sole holder of the record for the most consecutive appearances on a television game show, having made 75 appearances on the UK game show 100% in 1998.
However, as Jennings lost on his 75th appearance, Lygo is the sole holder of the record for most consecutive wins on a game show.
The producers of 100% informed Lygo after 73 shows that they had changed the rules, limiting the number of wins to 25, concerned that viewers were fed up of him winning day after day, week after week.

Which means nothing, maybe, until you look at the only U.S. game show records Jennings didn't break in his run: Someone named Ian Lygo still holds the record for 75 consecutive wins on a show called 100%, and Lygo also holds the record for defeated opponents at 150.
When he comes back for the Jeopardy Tournament of Champions he will probably take sole possession of the record for vanquished opponents.
