Hi

link doesn’t work lmao
Why do you put a gay symbol next to it
Some more information:
- James is believed to be the only person to break his own one-day record
- James is one of only two champions (Frank Spangenberg is the other) to have won more than $200,000 in their first five games
- Every game, his average on Daily Doubles was almost twice as much as his opponents’ combined score
- Out of the 135 possible Daily Doubles during his time on the show, he found 90 (and was correct on 83 of them)
- His streak of 28 consecutive correct Final Jeopardy responses is the longest in the history of the show
- Occasionally, his score going into Double Jeopardy was higher than the average winning score of the previous season; his highest ever score going into Double Jeopardy was $24,600
thanks for this
Some more info: the Jeopardy producers very likely rigged the game to get James out by making it easier. When Ken Jennings played, they made it harder, which worked against him. But James' fast style made that impossible because he could flip through categories and recover better than Ken. They ended up making the game easier so the other contestants had a better chance of getting more money overall, which of course worked. It wasn't like they cheated him, the other contestants still had to be good, but there is some give and take to how challenging they can make any given game based on past games. And there's no money to be made from seeing the same robot beat everyone to death... unless you're making a game show in Japan.

Dude was packing tho
Man’s rock hard lol
Bro😂
Bro got dat BDE man lol
Relax, it’s just the remote
Like me😏
His downfall was when the show started asking ridiculously easy questions, and someone else won because they had a faster buzzer draw.
@@thatchicksebby yep, they also employed basically the same tactics as him.
The final jeopardy question was on Shakespeare and the other contestant wrote their thesis on Shakespeare
@@thatchicksebby oh it 100% was, they didn't really try to hide it
@@thatchicksebby alot of their questions are on Shakespeare and James increased their viewership astronomically. All signs are pointing to them not rigging that particular episode plus I think James would have said something in his post game interviews.
@@thatchicksebby and the dpuble was placed in a weird place so his strategy woudnt work
My English teacher was on jeopardy once. I don’t think he did well. He was a cool dude
least he tried eh?
@@DepressedVoidGuy yeah I wish I could see the episode. I’m sure there’s a way to see which one he was in

Diddnt jeapordy cheat to get him out? I'm sure there is a Matpat video on this.
They did
This short is practically summary of a Matpat video.
I wonder how much he affected their profits in the time he was on. It was so damn entertaining to watch, and you know the owners were pissed when James was walking out with 50k on a bad day
Somebody else in the comments said that it was an anomaly where the daily double was placed and then the final jeopardy was a topic that one of the other contestants did their college thesis on.
@@Raktasdelespacio yeah because they're talking about the same thing, obviously it's the same
He’s definitely the most popular dude on “The Chase” now.
Not sure of the stats but I only saw him losing once.
Yes!! The Gambler!
7 wins and 4 loses so far prior to January 5, 2023 premiere.
And then the proceeded to cheat him out of eat by changing the questions to suit another contestant so that he would be essentially playing against an expert in their field about questions they would know the answers to. Had he been beat fairly then that contestant would’ve went on to make more than he did.
That contestant (Emma) almost beat him again in tournament of champions, she was a very strong contestant. Fair game
@@user-fg2lc3gu5d the final jeopardy question was literally on a subject that she "just happened" to have written her college thesis on
@@junoperberry lol if they tried to the question would have been significantly harder. All contestants got it even the bad one that had no chance.
@@user-fg2lc3gu5d She beat Josh Hill & Eric R. Backes in the QF then she beat Kyle Jones in the SF.
There's no evidence for that
Also the fact that he never stayed in the same category: he constantly shifted, and while he was able to keep up with the constant changes in topic and ideas, that's because he trained: most people couldn't shift gears that quickly.
0:25 AYOOO WHAT THE ANIMATORS DOIN
James kinds bricked up ngl
He was such a legend dude. So fun to watch him
He’s literally a copycat tho, he copied HenryBelcaster
@@eeeesh691 not talking about the guy who made the video, I meant James holzhauer lmao
@@eeeesh691that's not true
Lol he lost because they cheated him. The game he finally lost to this day remains anomalous for the placement of the double jeopardy tiles. And the final question was one the "winner" wrote her college thesis on.
Lmfao
Definitely targeted and also intentionally made easier so there was little skill gap unlike previous games where the skill gap was evidently massive
It was mostly because the show couldn't financially keep paying him the amounts he was winning
It was either run out of money, or get the guy off the show who's taking it all and let other people actually have a shot at the game
@@Shonda72yea but that doesnt change the fact that they cheated him its a gameshow and if hes good at it and u cant pay him, then not a very good gameshow
@@pz1180 so it's perfectly fine to just basically let a guy take all your predetermined budget and not let literally anyone else win at all? It would have been more unfair to way more people to keep him on than just cheating him out so the show doesn't go bankrupt and gives other people an actual chance
@@Shonda72 it's fair to follow the rules of the game, if it's just a freebie give away then what's the point of it.
Smh I'm explain how games and competitions work 💀
I remember watching Jeopardy and seeing this man always being like "wow he's good" then again he is a gambler
you know whats REALLY smart? the fact that they let this guy come back 14 times
gives the show more popularity, they knew what they were doing
He was there a lot longer than 15 days
He was there for like 60 something days. He broke the record 15 times.
@@Jxmu.33 days. Prior to him the longest streak was 74 wins by Ken Jennings.
“Hey mom can we have Henry Belcaster”
“No we have Henry Belcaster at home”
Henry Belcaster at home:
thats what i was thinking
Copycat imao
@@brothercuber3288 They are friends and partners?
he actually had an even better hack than #2 which is the way he studied for it. i forget the actual terms here but most people will study one subject at a time until they’re satisfied and move on, while he would study all of the subjects at the same time jumping between them. this allows for his memory to find the answers faster.
btw the way they finally got him off the show was to get someone a little worse than him, but make every question super easy.
James also trained his brain to do something called task switching. He would practice answering trivia from wide set of categories that would change constantly. His brain could access different parts of his knowledge quicker than other contestant
I love these stories. It’s a game and he figured out the techniques to play it.
"I'm not *in* jeopardy, Skyler, I *am* the Jeopardy." -James
Watching this guy during his run was amazing
I remember seeing this guy for so many episodes straight and being so confused
Thank you for the Game Theory video done again
The editors having TOO much fun..
His run was so fun to watch as it happened
He got real happy when he got the money…😂
What is in his pants 💀
🤨
A B.D obviously
It’s like that one friend that was a gamer and just ran circles around everybody else in halo
I was so pissed when he threw his last match. He was so much fun to watch. No one else stood a chance.
He didn’t throw it. He did the “bet enough to be second and maximize chance of winning(which depended upon emma getting it wrong)” strategy
He didn't throw, he lost. Don't be pissy
Didn't he go like 15 days
You and this other dude make such similar content
I know they're so similar and both make great videos
@@Wacky-Weirdos 😂 great videos? 😂
@henrybelcaster
@@ordolin what do you think one makes bad content?
Thier both best friends.
Bro is so down bad he calls himself a pto gambler 💀
I was lucky enough to watch James’ entire run on Jeopardy and boy was it entertaining. Never seen anything like it before
Ye criminally underrated mate
He’s a copycat, he copied Henry Belcaster
@@eeeesh691he has the same type of content, he doesn't copy
Yo what did you draw there
"Gimme dat monehh"
Just purely represents everyone's mums
“He’s smart”
“He’s a gambler”
Not two things that generally pair together
Fun fact there is a high likelihood that the tv company rigged it so James would lose in the final
True
@@tubeguy4066 to be honest I didn’t believe it until matpat broke it down for me
Just because MatPat said it doesn't make it likely. Learn to think for yourself
@@samlewis6487 I figured it out before Mat made the episode. It was a common idea for a wile Mat just has a better way of explaining it.
we gonna ignore his pants💀💀💀
I remember when this man was on TV, me, my mom and my dad use to watch was he won game after game after gane
He also knew a lot more of the harder questions than others, which allowed him to feel comfortable doing it this way. They eventually got him by dumbing down the questions to put everyone on more equal footing.
Also because he read up a lot on the topics in jeopardy (which is actually a strategy I've always been thinking about)
Everyone would…
There's literally a book that all Jeopardy contestants are given that lists the categories
Average couch potato:
Thanks for regurgitating a game theory episode for me.
“Gimme dat money” lol 😂
Honestly, I just woke up 5 minutes ago and I don’t have a comment. I just want a heart on my comment please.
❤
❤️
guys that's not what he meant
the waffle house has found it's new host
My grandpa watches jeopardy 24/7 and gets EVERY QUESTION CORRECT.
"Ah man am running out money... guess I'll go back to jeopardy."
He also would jump around the board making it harder for the other contestants to get in a rhythm of a category
“I bet you $1000 I can get on jeopardy, and if I do that I bet you $2000 ill win”
“Sir, we have reasonable suspicion you’re cheating so we can’t let you cash out.”
I remember watching this guy when he played on jeopardy, shit was insane
bro actually paid attention in math class 💀
I was in the hospital when this happened I swear it was the only thing keeping any of us sane! Normally the TV was just on for a bit of noise in the background but whenever Jeopardy came on we’d all crowd into the rec room to watch (staff included).
Bro is bricked💀🙏
When we play jeopardy in school everyone starts at the highest
I like how it was possible for him to earn even more money but he’d purposely bet a specifically lower amount of money to have a special number at the end when he got final jeopardy right
“Hey Brad’s score is still there”
I don’t think no one is this crazy to beat James jeopardy record
When he said gimme that money something was jiggling
Fun fact, he also trained to be able to switch topics fast while staying focused, it better hunt the daily double.
idk why but me and my family were so interested in him playing jeopardy
"hey brads score is still on there"
"Hey Brad's score's still there"
Well you could say he... JEPRODISED it😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah I remember this dude. Not from watching him but from other videos fawning over him. It is an amazing feat tho that’s for sure.
Jeopardy definitely has never said start at the top and work your way down. And almost every person on jeopardy starts looking for the daily double
Bro, really found the money glitch
Fun fact: MatPat did a whole theory on this guy and concluded that the only reason he lost was that the Jeopardy he was playing was so easy that literally everyone could answer every question
MatPat doesn't have any idea what he's talking about literally ever
@@samlewis6487 I don't think he's wrong,the last question was literally about Shakespeare and one of the contestants wrote their thesis on Shakespeare
It's not just the strategy you employ. You also have to know stuff if you want to win.
Fun fact. He trained for jeopardy by reading kids books. Like a lot. And he would stick with one category. He would switch around. He'd read about space, and then read about the Mona Lisa. This is because it's hard for humans to switch tasks on such short notice but he trained to do this so he could get all the top score questions. Film theory did a two part episode about him
He also switched categories constantly instead of keeping with the category he was most comfortable with, as most contestants do.
I keep getting perfect scores for the Jeopardy trial and have never been picked
My boys smart as heck just he learnt 2 tricks to perfect the game with his wisdom
bro really made a million on a trivia game show 💀💀💀
Grabbing your arm to hold it still and keeping your thumb on the button is the best technique to have optimal times
Not to mention he also jumped from topic to topic rather than going up a column he was comfortable with. Abuses neural pathways. His opponents were subconsciously still thinking about the last topic while he's moved to the next one.
The way Jeopardy beat him was twofold as well. First and the most obvious one of the contestants majored in the subject the final question dealt with, and second they made the game extremely easy
The coryat metric isn’t a standard, but it gives the idea the game was easier.
Also starting at the bottom meant that nobody could get enough points to catch up
“Hey, Brad’s score’s still on there”
I watched this show with my grandma every time it was on
I remember watching him with my grandmother. It was like a human reacting to an alien invasion
his pants💀
So he plays just like any middle school kid playing a jeopardy review game
Imagine sweating in jeopardy
Computer: Allow me to introduce myself
Bro is a Death Note character 💀
The thing I hate about Jeapordy is thar if you ask the question given by the contestant you will never get the answer that was given as clue.
I loved watching the show with him on tbh, I’ll miss his streak
He is also a brother in law (or some kind of family relation) of an amazing npr reporter
_The way that he was defeated was by, not only making the game easier, but also to bring in an architecture student and having their final question be about....... Architecture._
Shakespere actually, but thats a common jeopardy topic for one, and they don’t select contestants for certain games by matching topics to their strengths.
I remember watching a James and he had a streak for awhile and made so much money and looks exactly like him, so I actually watched him
I watch when he was on jeopardy. The guy is really smart.
I remember watching all of them waiting to see when he would lose jeopardy while chilling with my mom and my sister
Bro got exited 💀
Bros got a little to excited 💀💀
