James Holzhauer wins $131k on Jeopardy in one game
Smart is sexy. And so is he.
Pretty sure he’s a robot
Have you watched all of his appearances? Any idea why the weird numbers?
I understand that he reads a lot to gather these facts…. but how the hell does he remeber them all?!?! I would read a bunch of articles on wikipedia then a week later forget half of what I read! 🙁
I don’t think my brain works in the way Jeopardy wants it too. I can’t remember names or dates, how the hecking fuck do people get so good at this?
I wouldn’t trust that guy to babysit
I think he’s great. I’ve enjoyed watching him (have seen every episode so far). More power to him, but there’s only one thing that bothers me:
His smile. When he shows his teeth it looks so fake.
Alright so when tf are we gonna get a Holzhauer/Jennings/Rutter faceoff tho
That horrible smile though.
Anywhere online I can watch his games?
How does he always get both of the double jeopardy questions??
This is like Mark “smoking some meats” Zuckerberg Mk II, with bug fixes to
– make smile less creepy
– show teeth more often
– be more ruthless
– be more sneaky about giving away consumer data
seeing giphy in a social media logo collection is… unusual. not hating, but i have never seen it before
This got me thinking, do they adjust the actual Jeopardy rewards for inflation? Or do they still give out the same prize value they did over 35 years ago?
Do they adjust it for any game show? It got me thinking, because modern game show participants win way less if they don’t.
Hes been crushing it. He won like $700K in a span of like 2 weeks.
”I’d like to solve the puzzle, Alex.”
”This isn’t Wheel of Fortune!”
”Who is Andre the Giant.”
He seems to have at least some level of eidetic memory, his ratio of correct to incorrect answers is really high.
At 25 seconds, Hannah is having none of it. lol
Those neural implants are super useful when you get sent back in time to the pre-implant/post-internet days.
I posted this yesterday in a different sub:
James is easily the most dominant player the show has ever seen. That’s not hyperbole. He is now the 2nd highest earning player on regular season games (not including the all stars that play for $1M). The guy he unseated earned $430K over 19 games. James now has $566K in **9 games**.
Some notes on his strategy:
* In single jeopardy, he starts with the highest value clues and then goes down. He picks all the $1000 clues first. This is very unusual. Most people like to get a feel for the category before choosing the highest value clues.
* In double jeopardy, he starts from the $1200 clue (in the middle of the category) and then goes up in value from there. He is clearly hunting the daily doubles.
* In single jeopardy, if he hits the daily double, he always bets it all.
* Depending on when he hits a daily double in double jeopardy, he will either double or pick a high dollar amount. He never bets small.
* He bets big in final jeopardy, but he is usually so far ahead that he is not risking losing the game, just what he will win.
He is just crushing people. I think only one of his games was not a runaway at final jeopardy.
edit: here is a good website that is tracking James against Ken Jennings: https://thejeopardyfan.com/2019/04/james-holzhauer-ken-jennings-comparison.html
I call hacks
Did anyone watch the ladies reaction in the middle? Lol she was over it.
I L L
Nice to see an illini have some sort of success in competition. I’m talking about you football and basketball.
Thats crazy. Imagine what you can do with that cash
I feel sorry for the two other contestants. They look so defeated like “I am smart too I swear.”
Bravo!
Unfair. You should be disqualified from Jeopardy when your brain has access to WiFi.
From what I’ve read he’s a pro sports bettor which you can kinda see in the way he plays.
If i waited my whole life to get on Jeopardy and ended up on the show having to play against this robot, I’d be pissed
I was wondering if there’s any place to watch these recent episodes online? I don’t have cable at my apartment, and I’ve been really interested in talking with my Dad about James’ run. My Dad is a daily watcher and I like being able to connect with things he enjoys.
He was also on “The Chase” and killed it…

That one lady on the right was smiling like, “FUCK MY LIFE” smile! SMile! SMIlE!
He was on The Chase and won that, too. Took me a few episodes to remember where I saw that face.
Atleast he earned this shit. Didn’t just pick random briefcases lol
If anyone watched the last episode, pretty much lost respect for him for being such a douchebag to the female contestant who was ousted.
Right before the cut to commercial you hear him laughing at her as they announce her departure.
