James Holzhauer, Ken Jennings, Brad Rutter the 3 greatest players in game history jeopardy make this matchup happen!

[robing]

We love James! Brilliant mind, nerves of steel, nice man! We hope he keeps on winning. He’s exciting to watch! When’s the last time we had a winner like him??
Enjoy the ride and stop criticizing, please.

What's even more amazing about James Holzhauer is that in the Jeopardy Hall Of Fame Records, he's now in the top 3(along with Brad Rutter and Ken Jennings) for the All-Time Winnings. That category combines the winnings from both regular shows and tournaments and James hasn't even been in a tournament, yet! And there's no doubt in my mind that he will be in the Tournament of Champions.

he is better than ken jennnings and brad rutter combined in every statistic measurable and gets 2-4 times the amount of money than the average player

Have a best of 7 playoff with James and Ken Jennings. Ken has had plenty of time to study Holzhauer.

I wonder how long this guy will last. I know Ken Jennings was on for 75 games.

He Is The Champion ! 🏆 No Time For Losers.

It has been quoted, "Former champ Tom Nichols says watching Jeopardy! during Holzhauer's winning streak 'is as exciting as putting a camera on the sports book room in Caesar's Palace."'Talk about a poor loser, this guy Tom needs to move on with his

[sandranapier]

more sexism - why do we never see female multi-game Jeopardy?

[Duderz]

He looks like the dude from 3rd rock from the sun. What's his name?

[kpps]

He's still on there..jeez i quit watching it cause im tired of seeing the same person win..just like NASCAR...

[tungstentaco]

No doubt that James is one the best contestants ever on Jeopardy, maybe even the best. My problem with him is that he seems to be more interested in using the show as a cash machine rather achieving the intellectual accolades. I enjoyed watching Ken Jennings and Julia Collins winning streaks and rooted for them in every win. Their styles of play were much more in line with the spirit of the show. James is very impressive and as a long time fan of the show I'm glad he's boosting ratings, but I just can't get myself to root for him.

They just need to kick him off now I won't watch tell he is off the show.
