Holzhauer’s knowledge of obscure factoids has won him more than a million dollars. He has identified 19th-century novels and 20th century literary figures, superheroes and stamps. But somehow a sitting U.S. senator wasn’t on his radar.
By Reis Thebault Reis Thebault National and breaking news reporter Email Bio Follow May 1 at 7:19 PM Who is Ben Sasse? Not Robin Falco, a nonprofit administrator from King of Prussia, Pa. Not Tyler Lee, an international banking project manager from Hollis, N.Y. And, notably, not James Holzhauer, a professional sports gambler from Las Vegas.
Had it been any other crop of contestants, it may have ended there, just another missed piece of trivia in the show’s decades-long history. But this group included Holzhauer, the man who has been called “unstoppable,”"dynamic, “cold-blooded,” “absolutely insane” and “a cyborg” for his record-setting Jeopardy! dominance.And even he couldn’t tell Trebek the name of first-term senator, one of just 100 Americans who serve in that chamber.
As senators go, 24 percent is about middle-of-the-road. It could be worse. He could be Gary Peters , whom 43 percent of registered voters didn’t know .
