I love this guy! He’s absolutely brilliant, brave, and generous. He gives back to his local community. Way to go, James!

[AndySaenz]

He's half Japanese, half German, first generation American on both sides of his family. Now he's won almost $3 Million on Jeopardy! He's the embodiment of the American dream!

[sethbryant]

I suspect James will always be my favorite Jeopardy! player. The way he changed the game to maximize his earnings was super impressive and fun to watch

[janiceyoung]

Beautiful story, James! “And now these three remain: faith, hope and love; but the greatest of these is love.”

[chrisfinch]

Just like James, I'm from Naperville, too (great vintage city and suburb of Chicago). He's doing a lot to give back towards his communities, and the way he has his whole family and friends look up to him, in both Naperville and Las Vegas, it's a joy to see that his knowledge and gameplay is not to be underestimated or put down. I'm just glad he's doing such a tremendous job in doing all he can to try to win this tournament (though it looks very tight, now). Good luck, Jeopardy James! Keep on doing what you do to make Naperville and Las Vegas proud, and maybe someday I'll get some pointers on how to become a professional sports bettor, like you!

0:12- Wow! James had an amazing family background. Like his mother and grandmother were from Japan. I'm born in Michigan, my parents are from South Korea, and my late maternal grandfather was born in Japan

I wish James would’ve won, but props to Ken for winning.

Spoiler:





Brad spoiled the competition for James. Time and again, Brad landed on Doubles and failed to capitalize. But he kept them out of James' hands.

[AndySaenz]

All 3 of them, James, Brad, and Ken have won millions of dollars on Jeopardy! They are all winners, but Ken is just the best of the best!

James is becoming more and more richer everyday

[pika]

No, you won more than 10 other Jeopardy contestants called James Holzhaur! The guy holds every spot in the highest daily winnings.

Love this video better than watching raw for 3 hours. More entertaining.

James: Hey, Brad's score is still up there.
Me: I think James just set another New record Alex.
James: I love this show.
Brad: Thanks for bringing my fun happiness down guys.
Ken: No problem, I guess?
James: Says the one who thinks a hoe can be a gardening tool and an immoral pleasure seeker.
Random audience members: Hey!

I wish they could've played James Holzhauer's 10 best games during the Summer block after Jeopardy! had to end the season early bc of the pandemic.

[davidho]

I didn't know it was possible to earn a living as a professional sports gambler, or any sort of professional gambling.

[masterdoge]

How has it been nearly 2 years since this tournament happened. That’s absurd.

[mackenziewachter]

When James said he's part Japanese, this is not Jeopardy The Greatest Of All Time anymore. It's now called Jeopardy The Greatest Anime Of All Time! LOL!

[masterclass-workfromhome]

I can hep him make money from home...👍

German AND Japanese? Those who study history will get that- look up the 1930's for reference if you don't!
