‘Jeopardy’ legend Ken Jennings calls James Holzhauer’s run ‘astounding’
#Jeopardy #Holzhauer #KenJennings #ABCNews
I want to see James Holzhauer vs. Ken Jennings vs. Brad Rutter! That would be an EPIC match.
The Official Andy Saenz
Holzhauer vs Jennings vs Madden would be purely epic.
This. Make it a 2 or 3 day expedition like they did with Watson. Have them pledge a portion of their winnings to charity or something.
Well your wish is coming true this January. Love it!!!!
Google it for details
January 7th
First time I have ever heard anyone call him Jeopardy James.
Well I never heard anyone call Ken Jennings...Jeoparsy Jennings
Hi, it's a Twitter SN; but I don't think it's James. But if it is, he retweeted something I said about him. I think though it's a fan of his. James is great, and he has little mannerisms... I don't see how he plays in Vegas. But he has brought his Vegas style to the stage. The push it all when he doubles is so cute. And sometimes it seems flip, but it's just his style. I wonder if he wears shades in Vegas and if he misses them on the stage. So guys and dolls, do you all think James is playing a safe game with his bets. I mean, I'm glad he's moving away from the birthdays and such but do you think he is knowledgeable enough to have had many more 100K wins? Btw, I don't think he will beat Kins 74 days, But the money record. big bets should secure that. Come on James, trust your knowledge. At the end of his 74 days Ken had won 2.5+ __Atalanta :)
@@raymoore8162 That's because Ken Jennings name is so badass that no one even needs to give him a nickname. It fits together so perfectly. James Holzhauer not so much.
I was gonna say Ken Jennings is Wayne Gretzky and Holzhauer is Sidney Crosby but Ruth/Aaron is good too.
Such a fan of Ken Jennings. I submitted a trivia question for his weekly emails. While he hasn't used it, he wrote me a very nice, humorous reply and "thank you" for the question.
man not even close to the days. close to the money tho. i dont think anyone will ever pass jennings in days.
also. class act by jennings. respect.
James admitted he never expected to break the 74 game record.
Rest in Heaven, Alex Trebek. Thank you for 36 years of great memories on Jeopardy!
I can’t wait to see who the new host will be!
Did you watch the GOAT tournament? Saw your comment on it. Also RIP Alex!
For the first time in my life, I am going to watch Jeopardy in full this coming Monday.
F
Alex Joseck oof musta been tough
He's only a stone's throw away from surpassing Ken's record 74 game total of cash from 2004, a feat i thought i'd never see happen soon if ever.
By the time James Holzhauer gets there, he will win more money than Ken Jennings on an inflation-basis. For now, he is about a million short of that milestone.
Justin Middleton AND he did it in half the time!
Yeah, it took him 40 less games to almost reach Ken's final total of money from back then. That's what is so amazing about his streak aside from the encyclopedia of a mind he appears to have with how he's been nailing those clues most of the time.
He lost :(
Stones throw away? He would have had to win 42 more games to break the days record. Will it ever be done by someone? Never say never but we won't see it for a long time.
I want to know which children’s books James has read!
Ken was funny about the name : Jeopardy James. "No, I'm that guy !"
I would say - that you Both Are. Ken's been so supportive of James.' That's wonderful.
2 great guys !
Jane Piepes - nope. Jennings beat the brakes off Bubba James in the Jeopardy GOAT. Ken always was and always will be the King of Jeopardy.
Here after we've lost Alex, but I really wanted to add to the topic of discussion: one of the best rule changes in any game show, in history, is when Jeopardy eliminated the 5 game limit for returning champions and allowed it to be open ended. You come back for the next game so long as you keep winning. That really opened up the appeal to the show and brought in more viewers. As long as that old rule was in place I could never understand their reasoning. If you won 5 games in a row you were done no matter what. There were a lot of contestants in the 80s and 90s who were unquestionably good enough to continue on long past 5 games, because quite a few hit that limit.
Absolutely 🙂I’m glad that they changed the rules in regards to how many games a contest could play because it’s a lot more fun and a lot more exciting and enjoyable the way it is now.
this interview was done several months ago, and he said it would be interesting to see how they do against one another, and jeopardy made it happen and we know the results!
Let's not forget Brad Rutter. When he played the rules didn't let him keep returning, and his only loss came when playing Watson and Ken. I would love to see James, Ken and Brad go at it. I would also like to see Nate Scheffy get another shot - if he had gone all in on that one daily double, that would have likely been the end of Holzhauer's run. One thing is for sure, Holzhauer is a freak.
Watson won and they both lost. Doesn't matter who got 2nd when a computer can buzz in super fast.
Brad has never lost ...to a human.
He has beaten Ken over and over.
Rutter is very underrated pop-culture wise, but I think he's the best since he beat Jennings in a tournament.
Ken Jennings though is a better marketer and his name sounds better. Brad could work on his marketing skills a little more.
@@efisgpr Honestly, they should just allow game show contestants to come-back every season and be professionals like in other sports. Brad can come back in regular Jeopardy so he has a chance to break the record.
@@efisgpr Technically Brad Rutter has never lost a complete sanctioned game of Jeopardy. There are a couple times where Brad Rutter did LOSE a jeopardy game. One was in one the tourtaments where he lost the first game but came back to win second game to win the tourtament (2 Day winning score). Brad also lost a game (round) during the recent team player jeopardy games that aired. He came in 3rd place in that game (round), but Brad's team won in the end.
No, James is not a freak! He's intelligent and a strategist. As for a head to head or play off with the other two players you mentioned? Why not? I don't recall this Brad Rutter though. James will continue to win until it is his time to lose.
James is reading more than children’s books. Trust me.
He reads children's books first to see if the subject interests him enough to study it more.
This guy mine as well buy a house right next to the jeopardy studio this guy will be on the show for like 5 years
James is amazing. He’s had a couple close ones. We will see if he can stay for as long as Jennings did. He has many more days to go. Way more money
What a legend James has been. He’s gone down in the history books for sure. Sad to see him lose, but his sportsmanship was incredible. You could tell he didn’t want to play any longer and gave up the game even though he could’ve won. True gentleman. He obviously chose not to dethrone ken in his last game with Final Jeopardy wager. Jeopardy will never the same. Thank you for the good times James
rip james just lost today
We need jennings and him to go vs watson
I bet Ken has breathed a sigh of relief lol
@Vince Ken said he was more concerned about the game record. He also admitted in the interview that he was tempted to make big wagers like James did but always played it safe to ensure continued wins if he was wrong.
I'd want James vs. Ken vs. Brad
I like Roger
I love his smile at the end 😬 super funny... 😂
Well this aged nicely
Jennings vs Holzhauer would be a clash of titans, like Batman fighting Superman. I'd PPV that match up!
Brad has beaten Ken EVERY time.
@@efisgpr Yes. you can't exclude Brad.
It would have to be Jennings Vs. Rutter Vs. Holzhauer in special match.
@@efisgpr They should also allow past champions to appear on regular Jeopardy.
Two groups of contestants. Jennings in Bracket A; and Rutter in Bracket B thoughout the season.
(or a third Bracket for Mr. Holzhauer). This will give Brad a chance to break any record.
They should do rankings like golf and tennis for other Jeopardy champions to see which bracket they should be in.
Ken would get destroyed
I think it would come down to who got the Daily Doubles. Brad and Ken now know to bet the farm on them.
I refuse to see Jeopardy until I see Mr. Holzhauer vs. Mr. Jennings together.
Who exactly were you rooting for?
I predict that the producers of the show will bring Jennings on next week to be there when the inevitable happens.
@Anthony Guarino that's not what he's saying. It would be cool if Ken was in the audience when James beats his record.
Legend has it that both Ken and James still had beef with each other during the Jeopardy Masters back in May of this year.
Brad Rutter didn't bring his "A" Game. In fact, he didn't bring any kind of game. He basically took Daily Doubles away from James. I love Ken though, he is lightening quick and a wealth of knowledge.
I ENJOY JEOPARDY JAMES! HE IS VERY Talented ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Jeopardy James Holzhauer is MARATHON MAN !!!!
When did he develop such a pronounced lisp? I don't remember hearing that before.
Make me a champion on Beat the Clock!
I think James Holtzauer or Ken Jennings should be the new host of jeopardy
*BOINK*
The latter was there.
There talking as if this is some type of sport. Also Ken seems chill.
wish I could bump into James (perhaps at the SouthPoint) and Id only ask him about sports betting and Las Vegas Sportstalk radio.
James is gonna break that record.
Brandon Kohout easily id be surprised if someone beats him this year.
Mason Lane Well, I’d just like to see them try.
Brandon Kohout Hes only been tested really twice on this run.
Mason Lane Well, I don’t call his bluff when I root for him.
@@LaggyMcstutters lol imagine in 2020 , a year from james debut he is still on and beats brad rutter's winnings total
(this is a dream but its still fun to think about)
Sherry Shephard is the host? WHY???
Ouch.
and shes right about beating it monday he only needs $58,485 to BEAT the record
Great job, mate. It's all your fault. :P
@@michaeloconnor5904 James lost on purpose
Theres to kind of records. Jennings has the best streak overall in days, James is the best individual player as he aims to go for $ .
James vs Brad Rutter
wow looking back, looks like Arthur Chu definitely helped pave the way for future Jeopardy champions like James Holzhauer
Heck, I’ll read all the children’s books I can find at my local library if it will help me earn $2 Million! 💰💰💰💰💰
On your left!
SLY AF
Who else is seeing this for the first time after he lost...
Bring your A game won't be enough to beat James, try S game
His name is Jeopardy Jennings!
James Holzhauer and Ken Jennings are legends....what is no "if or but"
The best Jeopardy player of all time is Brad Rutter. Not Ken or James.
Abcde don’t know about that..
@@seriousblack8224 Yeah you do. Brad beat Ken Jennings 3 times and never lost a game in his life against a human (Watson doesn't count.) James lost once and Ken lost 4 times, 3 of those times against Brad. Brad never lost.
@@hyzercreek I love to see Brad, Ken and James go at it in a jeopardy champion of champions tournament very very soon.....my hat's off to Brad Rutter's too, he's a phenomenal jeopardy champ.
Abcde yeah i just like to deny the facts because i don’t really like brad as a person i guess
Did they just spoil James beating Ken's record? :/
Sorry I got distracted I was staring at Paula in those black jeans.
Yeah, she is a bit of a fashionista.
They should bring him on against him
Alex is right on one thing- if you're going to beat and replace James, you had better bring your "A" Game. More than that- your A + + + + +.... (I feel like Miss Shields in "A Christmas Story") Game. And most importantly, I love how Ken is so cool with how he's on his way to shattering his own record of $2.5M. Certainly has full of pure class for the Holz, right here. Cheers to you, Jennings and keep it up, Holzhauer!
he had a Groundhog Month to get this far. Next he'll show up in a bathrobe chugging Jack Daniels.
they jinxed james
2:10 they were right, but... We all know what happened.
I'm here purely because of The Omnibus podcast...
Well, he lost, soooooooo. You probably jinxed him. One week before he could’ve beat Ken
PAULA 🔥
This might be just me, but I don't think he'll be able to beat the record
James is due to break it next Monday. Let's go!
Nice.
Sad news, he had one job, but lost at the hands of a librarian. So close though!
Obinna Nwakwue
Of course it's a librarian
So close
Eventually we will see Brad vs James, and Ken probably comes in third place. That said, I don't think anyone's going to beat Ken's 74 wins.
I want to see him go against Watson, IBM's artificial intelligence computer that played Jeopardy against Jennings and Brad Rutter in 2011. Watson pummeled them.
i am fairly certain James has Watson hooked up in an earpiece and and projecting contact lenses
Don’t let Ken fool you. He dislikes James immensely.
Because James drinks coffee and tea and Mormon's don't?
GO JAMRS!!!!😃HOPE U NEVER LOSE!!!!!! ,😍 FUTURE SEXIEST MAN ALIVE😜😘💙❤💋💚💛💜💓💕💖👍💟💝💘💗👌👏
He don’t want no smoke w ken 😤
James supposedly loses this week
If he does he does.
He loses today and misses Jennings 2.5 mil
Sadly, it's over for James...
He lost on Monday, June 3rd, 2019
WWE stuff? I could go face to face with James.
Same just need to be able to click the buzzer faster.
:-) BAHAHAHA
AEW is better fuck WWE
nate didn't wager nearly enough, wagering just 10 grand in final jeopardy, though he would still lose by a slim margin had he gone all in
James is gucci
I hope one day James will beat Ken
But can he beat ken jennings days record?
If so, I estimate his winnings at $5 million.
That would be awesome then he will beat brads record
@@Chino-Kafu Actually, it would come short of the record, when adjusted for inflation.
Haha ok smarty.
All you have to do is read/study and retain the information before each game.
Oh is that all you gotta do? Wow. Thanks for the amazing insight! Man...if only more people followed this simple advice there would be much more millionaires from jeopardy!
@@DoctorGaga87 You mean MANY more millionaires.
justfeddup Are you saying “much more” is grammatically incorrect? If so, please explain.
Idiot.
He was being sarcastic.
Brad Rutter doesn't get the recognition he deserves because he was on the show during the 5 game limit. Brad defeated Ken in each Jeopardy showdown and, I believe, has the record for winnings on Jeopardy.
ken came in second in the watson show down while brad came in third. from jeopardy stat metrics brad is faster on the buzzer and more aggressive on the bets while ken has a broader knowledge base. i dont think brad would've come close to ken's record, but in single game appearances i'd put my money on him over jennings because of his aggressive betting.
Id also put my money on alex jacob. Like James, he has a better sense of betting due to his experience as a poker player.
jesse that Watson episode was the only one which Brad lost-and finished behind Jennings.
@@rm2399 Ken beat the brakes off Brad and James in the GOAT tournament last month. Brad and others don't get the same recognition as Jennings does because they don't have the same kind of resume.
20 games in a row = Great
30 games in a row = Super great
50 games in a row = Astoundingly great
70 games in a row = Something out of this world
Ken, it isn't a sport. Stop with the pre-emptive excuse...just say he's better.
i like ken a hell of a lot more than james
Hope hes not cheating
It's rigged
He is.
He's *NOT* cheating, and it's *NOT* rigged. If *EITHER* of those were true, the show would ALREADY off the air and Alex and the staff would be OUT OF A JOB. READ THE LINK:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1950s_quiz_show_scandals
He’s not cheating. He knows how to work the buzzer and he has a strategy. Strategizing isn’t cheating
@@gameshowguy2000 Not only would they be off the air but many of those associated would be in jail! Federal laws apply. And you know the feds!!
Proof that Men are Smarter!.
..
He is still on there...jeez i stopped watching Jeopardy a month ago it gets old seeing that same person on all the time...
We love it. Speak for yourself
@@MichaelP-ke1tm i stopped watching also. no competition. boring
@@MichaelP-ke1tm You literal just tried speaking for everyone hypocrite 😂
Are you saying it got boring when Ken Jennings was on?
