James Holzhauer’s total domination of 'Jeopardy!' in one chart
"Jeopardy!" contestant James Holzhauer, shown on an episode that aired on April 17, has racked up 19 straight wins and more than $1 million in winnings. By Christopher Ingraham Christopher Ingraham Reporter covering all things data Email Bio Follow May 1 at 6:00 AM James Holzhauer, a professional gambler from Las Vegas, has been making headlines for his utter domination of “Jeopardy!” in recent weeks.
But nothing quite underscores Holzhauer’s domination like a chart or two. Here, for instance, is a plot of the cumulative earnings of every other player who’s won 10 or more games in a row — there are just seven of them. No other player is even close; 19 games into his streak, not one of them is even in the same quadrant of the chart. Holzhauer’s averaging more than $75,000 per episode, a figure that’s nearly as high as the previous one-day record of $77,000, set in 2010. Holzhauer, in other words, is turning in something like a record performance every single night.
In “Jeopardy!” parlance this is known as a “runaway,” and his 89 percent runaway rate is higher than that of any other champion who’s won 10 or more games.
