Any Jeopardy fans ?

[Water Rat]

Tonight's defending contestant is on a 5 day winning streak and has won close to 300 grand. He's a professional sports gambler from Las Vegas. I like when he says "All in " when he places his wager on the Jeopardy answer.

Haha. I saw the night he was over 100,000 in one day. Good stuff

They were just talking about this guy on the radio...

I haven't had TV in years. That might be the only show I actually miss.

I saw him last night. Super smart guy, with a gamblers attitude, of go big or go home! Could be one of Jeopardy's GOAT??

[Jeremy K]

I watch it if I have time.

[moog5050]

Kind of a quirky guy, but I love that he plays aggressive and he is good with trivia for sure.  makes it fun to watch.  He also seems to wager some unusual figures at times.

Ha been missing it lately have to watch tonight .

I have an odd knack for recalling useless infomation ,and making “ lucky “ guesses, which really annoys my wife and one daughter, who,often says “ who knows this stuff ?”

If you guess most popular ,largest ,well known , and simply look for the clues in the answer you can do well .

For instance any time it’s a country in South America ,and I don’t know , I answer Brazil as it’s the largest country there by far ,highest population , boarders almost every other country and so on .

Going to be hard to top Ken Jennings' 74 wins and 2.5 million but if anyone can do it this guy can. Lots of fun to watch.

This guy bet 25,000 on a daily double and got it right.  Definitely fun to watch.

Lol, I am far from the smartest person on this planet, and the useless things in my head that I remember just ticks the wife off to no end when we watch. She’s like,  how in the hell did you know that. It shouldn’t be this much fun getting her riled up like that.

He bet the amount that would make his total be the date his daughter was born!

Had no idea.  I told my father that since it was a run away, he would bet enough to win $50k but it ended up slightly more.

The record was previously set by Roger Craig on September 19, 2010, when he took home $77,000 in a single game. What's even more exciting is that Holzhauer's prize, $110,914, holds a special numerical significance — it's his daughter birthday. She was born on November 9, 2014 (11/09/14).

My uncle was on twice, once a long time ago with Art Fleming and in the 90s with Trebek. He won the first time but not the second

One of our former associate won two or three nights.  He took like a month off to prepare.

Leave it to a gambler to make sure his winnings end in his daughters birth date!

I have a brother that was a child prodigy, skipped a grade in school, etc...won a local quiz show in Philly as a teen. Anyway, he got his chance to go on Jeopardy. He decided to bet it all on the last question and lost. It was right around the time Weird Al Yankovich came out with " I Lost on Jeopardy". There is a moral & irony to this story somewhere...

Fake Sean Connery says, “I’ll take “the rapist” for 200 Alex.”
“That’s Therapist”

Quite witty!
