In just 14 games, current Jeopardy! champion James Holzhauer became the long-running quiz show's newest million-dollar man Tuesday, with a total of $1,061,554 in winnings.
If the 34-year-old continues at that pace, Holzhauer can claim Jennings' record in a total of 35 games, at most. "I am in awe of Ken Jennings’s accomplishments, as all Jeopardy! fans are. Simply being compared to him is an honor," Holzhauer told Newsweek."It’s interesting to hear his take on the big gambles because he was notably conservative with his own wagers 15 years ago. Of course, if I had every game on cruise control as he did, I might have done the same."
He also appeared on the show 500 Questions in 2015. Aside from his game show exploits, Holzhauer is also a competitive bridge player and a professional sports gambler.
