It's amazing to think that Roger Craig set the single day win total in 2010, and in less than two weeks Holzhauer eclipsed it three times (may have been more, I haven't double checked).

He's making a play for Brad Rutter's winnings record, and he's doing it in regular non-tournament Jeopardy!

For the record Rutter has won either $4,255,102 or $4,270,102 (I believe it depends on the team Tournament of Champions split).

One thing in Jeopardy that really favors the champion, is that the timing of the buzzer is really specific, and you take a short lock out penaltyfor hitting it too early. So you can end up with situations where The champ is really locked into the Rhythm and the other players can't squeeze in and get really frustrated

I think eventually he’ll get a question where he bets it all wrong and won’t be able to recover, but it’s really compelling!

Dude never missed an answer. 40 for 40.

His breadth of knowledge is second only to his confidence.

It's remarkable to watch.

Apparently this isn't his first rodeo, although he hasn't changed his clothes in almost 5 years either...

I found this page (updated daily) interesting - a cumulative statistical comparison between James and Ken Jennings

Quote:
Back in 2004, I tracked Ken Jennings’ statistics daily and updated a toteboard. With James Holzhauer dominating his Jeopardy! games in ways unseen in years, I’ve decided to track James’ daily statistics in many of the same categories, alongside Ken’s statistics at the same point in his streak from 2004. Links are also provided to help define any statistics that may not be readily familiar or intuitive to the casual viewer.

Good read about this guy and what he may be doing to he Jeopardy budget.

Also had no idea Trebek was paid as much as he is...good for him.

Holzhauer finished Monday's show with just under $950,000 in total winnings (in 13 games). Given his daily average, he should top $1 million tomorrow.
