J! 3/15/16: Philip's Historic Daily Double
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 мар 2016
- I've been told that this was the largest successful Daily Double ever wagered. Quite the gutsy move.
I know the show already uploaded this all over, but I felt like putting up a copy too.

“$19,000.”
Alex: “Hello.”
He says Phillip....
@@AmoralPhat40oz Get your ears checked

He said 'Hello'

Thanks to James Holzhauer, this guy went from being the Ballsiest Player Ever, to just another 3 day champ.
Hes still the ballsiest player ever
SY Tang this is not because of James this happened in 2016 not 2019

He's saying that this was a ballsy move in the era before Holzhauer, but Holzhauer made it normal.
@@epicsamurai5 Holzahuser never risked the game though, If Phillip misses it, it's a run away for Sean
Ken Jennings proved Holzhauer's strategy was all balls and no brains.
Haha, I was like "Vancouver is too easy of a response. It has to be something else."
My immediate thought was "DUH, VANCOUVER!" And the longer he waited and pondered, the more I doubted myself.. And then when he said Vancouver, I shouted "Nooo!!" And then it was correct.
I thought that, but I also thought, it's just a daily double and a lot of people have trouble with geography. My only thought was if there was another city by vancouver that is like "all port" kind of like long beach in la.
That seemed an obvious answer to me also. Maybe though that's because I live in Washington and have been to Vancouver.
I thought so too! I legit thought it was Vancouver then I started double guessing myself 😆
At first I thought it said SouthEAST and I was like “Well Halifax, duh, that’s clearly our business port in Eastern Canada”, and then I was like “wait a minute, it’s not 15 miles away from the states” so I read it again and saw southWEST and realized that of course the answer is Vancouver.
Everyone in the room was applauding and relieved for him. Except Sean. He was stone faced.
Dude, no lie. A rare case of the match being clinched either way whether the question is answered correctly or not.
Sean’s a hater
@The Postman If Philip got it wrong Sean has the game and wins over $13,000. Now the best he can leave with is $2,000. He just lost $11,000. Granted, Philip had the lead already so it was his game to lose, but I don't blame Sean for rooting for failure here.
Sean was thinking, “I fucking knew it was Vancouver immediately. Dammit.”
Look again. You can see he just finished clapping at 0:45, albeit not for as long as everyone else.
You could see Philip thinking, "Is it really Vancouver? It can't be THAT easy!" Thankfully for him, it was.
This is the only explanation that makes sense, as there's like only possibility. Each province has only one major city each. Unless the producers told him in an earpiece to pause.
@@speabody And Vancouver is one of the only major Canadian cities that even contacts the ocean. The "southwestern" essentially narrowed it down to Victoria and Vancouver. But if you have a basic understanding of where those two cities are geographically, you can immediately deduce that it's Vancouver.
@@speabody not true, Alberta has both Calgary and Edmonton and Ontario has both Toronto and Ottawa
@@themartdog I'm speaking in reference to the clue. There are not many major cities in Canada. "Southwestern" easily eliminates all other possibilities
@@themartdog the clue said "southwestern... [port] city", so it really only left Vancouver or Victoria as options
Lol I bet Sean was pissed
You can see him physically sink and scream in his head, now knowing he can't possibly catch him.
@Boco Corwin guy on the far right.
@Boco Corwin Why were you asking "Sean?" to "hence the title of the game" in the first place?
@Boco Corwin Yes, it is called jeopardy. Read the full conversation again. "You can see him physically sink and scream in his head, now knowing he can't possibly catch him" which peter replies to with "hence the title of the game" since sean is now in jeopardy. So idk why you replied to him with "Sean" lol.
@@J48038 I’m pretty sure he’s joking
Sure we have Holzhauser, but I can't imagine how he must have felt getting that answer right, especially after all that hesitation.
I was thinking the same thing as him, "I mean, it has to be Vancouver right? But that seems too easy. Oh well, I'll give it a shot"
I knew the answer right away
@@Andy-Mesa I would have guessed Vancouver as well, but I was worried it could be Victoria.
@@Andy-Mesa It was a $1200 question. Those are usually pretty easy.
@@kristopherloviska9042 I think Daily Doubles are in their own difficulty tier. That is, I don't think their listed dollar amount matters.
Reading all the comments. It's crazy cause that guy was my math professor.
Oh shoot, your teacher did a good job
Who was your English professor?
@@aggcavan943 Clearly, he didn’t have one.
Hello fellow petrel! Love Dr. Tiu.
That's crazy cause he was my meth dealer.
the feeling of relief when Alex said "Yes!" must have just felt so great for him especially after all the hesitation and all the educated guessing
IKR? If it was me, I would’ve passed out right on the floor from all the mixed emotions
There is only one big port (busiest) in southwestern Canada 15 miles from the US border. I knew that answer right away, but for him this was a totally different experience. I'm still short $39,000. Not for long though (lol)
Also the fact that Alex was Canadian haha
I think he was faking. He knew the answer.
@@sorellman I also though this right away! But the longer he took to answer, the more I started doubting myself. "Like, it can't possibly be that easy" I bet he was having the same internal struggles but x1,000
Alex's "yes!" is BEYOND precious.
Wasn't he from there? I know he was Canadian.
@@kralik394 Sudbury, Ontario.
@@danielivey562 wow
As someone from Vancouver, I was on the edge of my seat in anticipation for his response!
I was thinking about it, it should technically be Delta, or Tswassan but I guess they won't be that technical.
As someone from Seattle, I was too haha
I’m from Georgia and I knew the answer. I was about to be screaming at my phone
I'm from New Mexico, and got the answer before he did. 😁
I'm about 45 miles south of Vancouver, down in the US, I had no idea it was Canada's busiest port, but when he wasn't sure what to answer I just said to the screen, "It's gotta be Vancouver! Just say it!" haha. I only got it because of how specific it was worded. Southwest city 15 miles from the boarder, must be Vancouver! Haha
I think this was the longest time anyone was ever given to answer a question on Jeopardy, by far. If I were poor Sean, I would have been upset too.
0:40 the way Alex sounds so relieved when he gets it right, I’m gonna miss him
I like how he didn’t wager everything otherwise he’d not play Final Jeopardy if he missed
I hope that he didn't bet $38,000 in final Jeopardy.
He bet 39,000
Did he win????
@@reuellucas7187 he tied for third
@@joetroutt7425 wow
@@reuellucas7187 It's impossible to be tied for third. LOL
I was watching this, and my heart dropped when he made the wager. You can imagine my reaction when he gave the answer.
They gave him a (comparatively) long time to answer.
And now, regular Jeopardy watchers are all experiencing every day the feeling you describe, as James H does this routinely. No matter how many runaway games he has, I continue to get nervous when he does a big bet. Of course, HE is never nervous.
After answering this extremely easy question myself I picked up Stephen King's book "It" and was three words away from finishing the entire thing before he finally answered the damn question, I guess if I didn't go make dinner and reply to 846 emails before picking up the book I would have finished it in time
@@chrismac5560 Wtf lol
1 more millisecond and it was over. Wow he just made it!
I love how Kristen is so happy for him, but Sean is just not having it
Sean definitely slashed his tires right after this was filmed.
lmao
And you could bet his anger multiplied when the end of round bell sounded right after.
sean was fucked, i understand why he’s pissed 😂
Basically, he went for the two point conversion instead of playing for overtime.
Underrated comment
Spot on hahah
It appears he got away with it. Did he do a Cliff Clavin in FJ?
He could have went for the 2 point conversion AND still had overtime if he missed the question had he bet 10k.
Pulled up from three instead of the game tying two
He definitely had a serious debt that he needed to pay off.
@MovieClips he payed it off though and narrowly avoided his knees bashed In
He didnt want to be frozen in carbonite
From thinking that he'd thought "crap I'm going to lose my money" to "crap I'm going to die" in a single comment. Well done.
that’s a nice daily double you’ve got there. it would be a real shame if something were to happen to it
All Philip needed to do was wager around 8k to make it a runaway. 19k was really risky because if he was wrong, he is pretty much done. At least with a loss of 8k, he is still in the game.
Clearly he felt confident in the category.
This is one of the reasons why I couldn't play Jeopardy. I might know the answers (if I could remember to phrase them in the form of a question) but I'm too math deficient to figure out what to wager.
The stones on this guy! That was a make or break bid! He gets it wrong, he loses. If he gets it right, he wins. Final jeopardy doesn’t even matter. Everything for Sean rode on it too. And Philip took him right out of the equation. Brilliant!
James Holzhauer wagered $25k. He is second, but 1st when this was uploaded.
30k
Tornado2D yeah but James didn’t make a true daily double
@@Manima108
During the GOAT event, he made the biggest true Daily Double wager of all time: 20,200, beating out Roger Craig's 18,000 in the 2011 ToC.
BLSoldier true, but that was point values, not dollar values so they don’t really count? Idk that’s what I think not too sure
This was right before Final Jeopardy though. He had the lead so he didnt have to do it, makes this crazier imo
The way Alex says, “YES!“ when Phillip gives the correct question is beyond priceless; you can hear the immense amount of relief in his voice.
It’s never specified how much time contestants get to come up with the correct response to regular round clues or daily double clues, as the hosts control that “time’s up“ buzzer, but I imagine he gave that response just in time.
They give him so much time!
I love how genuinely happy Alex sounds when he guessed right.
If Phillip got that wrong that would’ve been the most painful moment on jeopardy
Oh my gosh I feel so happy for this guy. He must’ve felt so relieved and happy, and he won 19000 more!
That’s so sweet that Kristen was clapping for him!
I've been to Vancouver before. It's a beautiful city!!!!
It sure is.
I live here :) it certainly is!
Could be worse !
YESSSSSSSS
Rest in peace Alex. Overdue condolences to wife Jean and family for your loss :-(
If anyone needed confirmation that the “time’s up” noise was controlled by Alex, there ya go. That was a looooong time, but worth it.
I wonder how he decided when to activate that sound?
I was like, "VANCOUVER!" and then the longer he paused, I was like, "maybe not", but then YAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSS!
I admire his gutsy bid, and I'm impressed.
As a Canadian, watching this live was awesome to watch.
I know the money on the line makes the anxiety that much more intense, and makes you doubt yourself, but that was a very easy question. Congrats to him, though
I like the reaction of the guy on the end, "Well, I'm screwed"
“What is Vancouver?”
Yes!
**Adam Sandler laugh**
I admired the guy. I wished that more players had his guts!!! SALUTE TO HIM!!!!
What is Vancouver?
Yeeees
He got it
Pick again
(Beep)
Oh we won't have anymore clues for ya and you've just taken us to final jeopardy
I knew the answer but I lived in Washington for 10 years. Lol
He played that so well! He had that delay timed perfect, just waiting for that buzzer lol
Sean waiting for him to answer: 😰😟😬🙂😃
Sean after he threw the answer out last minute: 😑😑😑
I cant imagine the pressure he felt while trying to think of the answer
Alex: "Wasn't that a gutsy move? WOW." My thoughts exactly. Rest in peace, Alex.
This was years ago and I was still worried for him.
Sean wasn't impressed
I’m glad they gave him some time to answer. Sometimes I’ve seen daily doubles get cut off rather quickly
The variable timing on the DDs might be due to the editing.
It looks like the youtube algorithm has brought us brothers together once more
You know, I remember being in his proof and logic class one semester and seeing him on Jeopardy! the next semester. His choice of wager was unsurprising.
Dope, super easy question. It’s the only major port in southwest Canada.
He was overthinking it probably, especially with that much money on the line, the obvious answer seems wrong
That's what I thought. Maybe I have some bias being from Washington state, maybe those outside the west coast are less familiar with it.
@@benharder7816 Also he was stalling so there would be no other opportunity for scoring.
Lol he was so scared XD. Thank god he got that right.
Everyone: OMG!
James Holzhauer: That makes sense.
This is Hans Kim, this is Hans Kim, this is Hans Kim, THIS is Hans Kim!
So weird hearing everyone talk about Holzhauer - I taught his nieces and nephews how to swim !
I knew the answer to the clue soon as Trebek was done reading it. Good for him.

Is that Hans Kim
I remember watching this!
I have both sailed into Vancouver's port and driven across the border from Washington to Vancouver. I knew the answer right away! Glad he got it right!
This is crazy! I remember watching this exact episode as a kid and saying to my parents “Wow! That guy totally guessed”
Does daily double "thinking" time take up the allowed time for a round? If so, maybe he purposely stalled to prevent the other guy from having a chance to answer more clues?
Yea it does. He purposefully did it. He knew the clue will be easier since it was at 1200. Good strategy.
Realistically he knew he'd win if he knew the answer because the other guy would have to pick up 7000 or so to not make it a runaway, there wasn't that much money left on the board
@@Cmackie311 Imagine if he had said "Vancouver". Then Alex would have said "Yes - Wait, NO! [END OF ROUND BUZZER SOUNDS]. Alex: "I will tell you folks WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?" after this break.
@@Cmackie311 If doubled dollar values from before 2002 are included it is the biggest since 2001.
That would have made sense if he'd have wagered only a couple of thousand. But in any event it would have been a runaway for him
The way he wrote his name, it was clear he would win!
Daily Doubles can turn a game on its head like this one did. So many Jeopardy players just don’t understand this concept.
I was thinking the same thing as he was. "Could it be as easy as 'What is Vancouver?'"
I like how the audience gasps when he places $19,000.
Pretty easy question tbh good on him pulling it out
I think that's why the hesitation. Vancouver is the only major city that close to Seattle, and on the East coast, plust it is Canada's most known city (maybe besides Toronto). That didn't seem like a daily double type question, and I think he thoiught it would be much more obscure. Maybe he was thinking Victoria.
@@shinyam75 I thought it might be Victoria and not Vancouver, since Vancouver seemed too easy.
@@theezakuroy i live in Victoria and i thought it was the right answer😑
Every question is easy when you know the answer.
@@shinyam75 west coast
I am so proud of Philip.
I remember watching this the night it aired. What a moment.
Who else is here cause this appeared in your recommended feed?
Me and I don't understand what's so special about a basic geography answer?
Well this record has been obliterated now
I dont really consider $5,400 more "obliterated"
@@rieldebonk1044 I would
Who else bet all but $600 on the last question before Final Jeopardy?
Bruh the first thing that popped into my head was Vancouver.
You answered that for free...
Ama-tour
WOW!!! Hello big wager for Phillip $19,000. Luckily he did beat the buzzer or else he would’ve blown everything. It was very tough for Sean to take the lead back and Kristen was not even close to both gentlemen. That kind of reminds me of Leonard Cooper’s $18,000 wager on a Daily Double.
Sean’s reaction 😂😂😂
Kristen didn't have a chance, so it was funny for her. Sean, knew he just lost the game at the last possible second.
RIP Alex:(
Hello from Vancouver :)
Hello from East Vancouver
Alex was genuinely happy when he guessed right.
He knew it. He just wanted to play it up for drama.
I agree he knew it, there aren't many major cities in southwestern Canada, but I think he was doing it to run the clock and guarantee a runaway.
Don’t think so. As he got very close to the time limit buzzer sounding which would mean the question is voided then and he gets its wrong. I think he had an idea, but was never 100% sure, maybe 70-80%.
No way. He was like a millisecond away from the buzzer
kevg715 if you watch jeop regularly I'm sure you've seen Alex. He's the best I've ever seen by far and I know he waits to answer to add some drama when he definitely knows the answer
Keep in mind, this is an American show, and the player is clearly not native American or Canadian. Even if he was born in America, Americans suck at geography.
We love and miss you Alex.
That answer scared the crap out of me!
This was a 3000 IQ play, he legitimately timer stalled so that noone else even had a chance to catch up
I knew the answer instantly and so did most I imagine.
If I was one of the other contestants I would have yelled "it's Vancouver you moron" after about an hour and a half of waiting for him to answer. I wouldn't have cared about the money, I just want to get to the other seven questions we could have seen if he didn't take all day answering such a simple question
The suspense was perfect.
I felt that tension. Vancouver seemed so obvious, I couldn't help but think it was a trick question.
$420 Alex
Weak! I would've wagered $19,600.

BCMan5388 woooosh
Bruh how is 19,000 weak only one person on Jeopardy has ever wagered more than him
@@diembui3256 that's the joke
This is pretty smart - He knew final jeopardy was coming up, and this was a way of him putting the game away, if he felt confident that he knew more about this subject than what he might know about the final jeopardy question.
I remember when this first aired, my wife and I both went "That wouldn't be Vancouver would it?" We both kept thinking Vancouver BC is on the border.... We live in Washington State!
0:12 ...$19,000.
Alex: "Hello."
Audience: fills up their Depends
Me, from Vancouver. "What's taking him so long?" Lol
but for real, there aren't really any other major cities in the Southwest of Canada.
Southwest was confusing. I've never heard of Vancouver referred to as southwest. Took me a sec to figure it out.
WOW. I actually knew that, about 90% sure. I'm surprised that he took so long to guess.
When I thought it over waiting for the answer, I was thinking Ontario or Montreal. Ultimately, I misread it and I was thinking of cities in southEAST Canada and not southwest.
He didn't think it would be that easy
Even in the era of James Holzhauer, this is still incredible.
Ngl it was actually an easy question at least if you’re from North America
Yeah what other southwestern Canadian city is there
@@andrewputnam2717 Victoria (BC's capital). Not nearly as large as Vancouver, but a Western port, more Southwest than Vancouver in fact.

13 seconds to answer. Seems a bit long. I know they normally give more than the usual 5 seconds for a DD, but 13 seconds seems generous.
