My Nana has been battling terminal cancer, and in the midst of all her pain and discomfort James gave her something to look forward to every week. She LOVES Jeopardy, and when James started his winning streak she couldn't stop talking about it. For 30 minutes he took all her worries away as she was so focused on the game. So thank you for giving that to her James, it has meant a lot to me and my family. ❤️
Well done, James, well played games and great job all-around. Enjoy everything from here. Just don't blow the 2 million in one bad bet. Put much aside for your family.
No worries he will once again make the game even more exciting when he returns in November and who knows she might end up shaking his hand if she makes it to the tournament of champions and is beat by his first place victory.
hahahaha that was so funny lol Nope. Ken was not on his level, James was always in the lead by 2x of second place. Ken would regularly be neck and neck. Not to mention James had the best strategy.
@@ImBigFloppa strategy: get the answer right, being neck and neck made it far better because it showed confidence and more knowledge when it came to final jeopardy , in my opinion
James is a gentleman and a scholar. What a dear fellow .. I was emotional when he handed Alex his daughter's get well card to Alex and also at the end of the game. I think Alex was sad, too. (Now it's Tuesday .. oh no.)
James is the BEST!! Show won't be the same w/out him. Not looking forward to a mildly boring episode tonight without him. See ya at the champions show!!
There went a champion with class...and lots of it! I hated to see him lose because he showed both brilliance and a great sense of humor throughout his tenancy is Position #1 on the stage. Thank you for entertaining me for well over a month of shows! Good luck and continued success to you!
Jeopardy became interesting again during James reign. Our interests had waned over the last few years....but he sure put the spark back in it. We even rearranged our schedules, as to not miss an episode. Sadly, we are back to "if we miss it, we miss it...no big deal". He was the whole package. Amazing brilliance, massively varied and all inclusive knowledge....but the icing on the cake, was his totally charming presence, sweet 'light-up' smile....class....you name it, he had it. So sad to see him go.
Probably those are the individuals (currently 24) who are jealous of his near $2.5 million winnings and could only wish they could have a bit of it but they can't . Those are the individuals who gave it thumbs down.
@@twilson3133 well his streak total no, but winning the tourney is a million dollars which adds to his overall totals, cause thats how they get other contestants for the tournament of champions
I enjoyed watching an extremely smart guy win....great strategy and knowledge of the game...looking forward to seeing James on the next tournament of Champions....that will be fun!!
I'm so disappointed and bummed out that James holzhauser reign ran out, I really enjoyed watching him win. He's amazing. I wish he could've broken the all time record. Congratulations to James holzhauser and good luck on your future endeavors.
I did some quick research, for those of you who still wonder why James' bet was what it was...or to those of you conspiratorially-minded folks! James was in what J! fans refer to as "Stratton's Dilemma"...named after contestant Ted Stratton who faced the situation in 2005 and first talked about it. Because Jay was so close to James, James could not make a bet that could both a) exceed Emma's current score of $26,800 and b) lock out Jay if Jay went all in and got FJ correct. The "solution" for a second place contestant in Stratton's Dilemma is to bite the bullet and bet just enough to lock out a successful all-in bet by Jay and hope Emma both missed and bet to lock out a successful all-in bet by James. If Emma had realized the situation, she probably would have realized she could have safely bet nothing...but James was in a dilemma...he couldn't have successfully defended that. So James did precisely what a player in Stratton's Dilemma is supposed to do. (PS For me, it was JAY'S bet that made zero sense. He should have also realized James was in Stratton's Dilemma and therefore would make no large bet that would drop him under Jay's score no matter what it was...so the best Jay could hope for was a second place finish and $2,000. Therefore Jay should have bet no more than $4,802 and probably less than that...$4,802 covers Emma's score should she bet the $20,201 she actually did and miss the question).
I'm sticking by my initial reaction to the final answer. He took a dive, for reasons only he knows. Sure seems like a nice guy. (The tax man will come a calling!)
No his bet was rational. If he and Emma miss final jeopardy, he wins the game even if the 2nd player is the only player to answer right. Emma loses if she misses and the 2nd player is right. She didn't protect the downside.
I never saw anyone as smart AND as courageous on the show as James. He was my Jeopardy hero! It was his incredible run that got me watching the show again. He was (and is) amazing!
Congratulations, James. You've made this the most exciting Jeopardy era in a LONG time! I hope to see you on other gameshows in the future. I personally recommend "Who Wants to Be A Millionaire," "The Wall" and "Press Your Luck,"(assuming it takes off). I know you're donating a good deal of your winnings to charities, but whatever you're keeping, spend it well. YOU ROCK!
It's hard to believe, but I didn't learn of James until The Chase. I, myself can't believe it, but when I was made aware of him, I was in awe. There's something about his eyes that sparkle when he speaks, and his excellent poker skills give him a poker face about whether he knows each and every question. I thoroughly enjoy his pleasant attitude and he's seemingly as forthcoming. I wish he could find some niche show where he would fit, because with his sarcasm and dry humor, in addition to the intelligent and well-traveled man that he is, he'd do so well. IDK if there's media training that's involved (probably so), but he's probably already undergone a lot of direction in his achievement. Either way, I'd love to see him with his own vehicle in the entertainment industry! Love this guy's laid-back demeanor, despite such high-stakes at risk often.
If there's anything we learned from the last all-stars tournament it's how much of a family the big Jeopardy winners become. The next time we see him with Ken, Brad, Austin, Buzzy and the rest I bet they'll be amazing friends.
Normally I frown upon gambling, but he seems like a very humble, grounded guy. I never watched the show because I don't have a tv. But I used to. Shame he couldn't break the record for earnings since he was so close, but like he said, he has no reason to be any less proud of himself.
DINOSHREDDER He was the million dollar winner on the first “Survivor” many years ago and got into trouble for tax evasion. The dummy won a million dollars on national TV and somehow thought the IRS wouldn’t notice.
Good job James. You certainly had me glued to my TV watching the show. I hated to see you lose but all good things must come to an end. Enjoy your earnings and I hope to see you again on jeopardy.
Show me a game he went in NOT a lock for 1st. THAT is why. He knew he'd lose, so since he was a lock on 2nd by $1,400, he wagered the most ($1,399) to get 2nd no matter what (ie if he gets it wrong and the other gets it right).
Why is this so difficult for people to understand. He played the perfect strategy on the last question as he was trailing. All he could hope for is she missed as a him betting the top amount would have still not been enough as he would have lost by a dollar. In that scenario you play a lower amount and Hope that the leader misses the question as they would typically bet enough to cover you meaning you would take the lead only if they answer the question wrong. The amount was perfectly played and would have worked if she missed the question, it was his only hope of winning at that time
@@brendanc2675 you failed in math class huh. Here I will help you. 23,400 (James amount going into final jeopardy) now lets times that by 2. 23,400 x 2 = 46,800 would have been his max he could earn. Emma going into double jeopardy had 26,600 and bet 20,201 so 26,600 + 20,201= 46,801 Final scores if James max bet and what Emma bet 46,800 (James) 46,801 (Emma) so he would've lost by 1$ James bet 1,399 to maintain a 1$ lead over 3rd if they bet the max while banking that Emma missed double jeopardy make sense?
I look forward to seeing James in the tournament of champions. Does anyone think he's going to steamroll his opponents then? I know the champions have the knowledge, no doubt there. But the question is, do they have the GUTS? James didn't just win big by knowing a lot of trivia, he won because he always bet big. Most Daily Doubles and Final Jeopardies, he risked most of it to all of it, bringing his score up tremendously leaving his opponents in the dust. Most contestants don't have the courage to do that EVERY SINGLE TIME but because he gambles for a living, he's used to it. Of course, in Final Jeopardy, he bet big but no more than he could afford to lose.
We will miss him. Before I don't like to see the jeopardy show after I saw James start like this show and I do record every time. I am so sorry to lose James but he still the one smarts guy I haven't seen before.
A local news affiliate presents the second largest check in jeopardy history in his home, from an obscure news reporter? uh yea, cringy and likely fake
This was the first episode taped after Alex announced his cancer diagnosis publicly. The first shows aired that taped after the diagnosis coming out was the Teacher's tourney
Actually James would've lost even if he had maxed out his Final Jeopardy bet. His low bet was strategic if Emma had guessed wrong. James bet enough to pass the third place guy if he had maxed out so that he would win. Point: he lost the game to Emma fair and square and didn't throw away the game. Love live Ken Jennings...the real Jeopardy GOAT.
Go James go! We were rooting for you! We really wanted you to break the record but no matter what we are so happy for you and your family. Great run James. Hopefully I'll bump into you in Vegas! Woot woot! All in!!
Why would a local CBS station be responsible for a national NBC show. You can see his face he knows that's just a televison stunt and he doesnt really appreciate it.
I think he was just tired of playing he just let somebody else have it he didn't even go for the higher dollar amounts like he usually did, and he didn't seem to be upset about losing, Emma seems VERY GOOD but I don't think she will be on more THAN a few days
My Nana has been battling terminal cancer, and in the midst of all her pain and discomfort James gave her something to look forward to every week.

He got told to lose. Jeopardy accountants have money for 20-30k at most per show not 65-75k average. They made him lose so they wouldn't go bankrupt
No worries he will once again make the game even more exciting when he returns in November and who knows she might end up shaking his hand if she makes it to the tournament of champions and is beat by his first place victory.

Jack Grady The numbers don’t lie. James got to $2.5 Million in about half the time as Ken. So you’re correct.
It was the speed in which he answered the questions too. Jennings is really good, but this guy when he's "on" is the best I've ever seen.
Love this guy. I was sad he lost
James brought a new level of excitement to the game. Brilliant man and a nice personality. I'll miss seeing him play.
I did some quick research, for those of you who still wonder why James' bet was what it was...or to those of you conspiratorially-minded folks!
James was in what J! fans refer to as "Stratton's Dilemma"...named after contestant Ted Stratton who faced the situation in 2005 and first talked about it.
Because Jay was so close to James, James could not make a bet that could both a) exceed Emma's current score of $26,800 and b) lock out Jay if Jay went all in and got FJ correct.
The "solution" for a second place contestant in Stratton's Dilemma is to bite the bullet and bet just enough to lock out a successful all-in bet by Jay and hope Emma both missed and bet to lock out a successful all-in bet by James.
If Emma had realized the situation, she probably would have realized she could have safely bet nothing...but James was in a dilemma...he couldn't have successfully defended that.
So James did precisely what a player in Stratton's Dilemma is supposed to do.
(PS For me, it was JAY'S bet that made zero sense. He should have also realized James was in Stratton's Dilemma and therefore would make no large bet that would drop him under Jay's score no matter what it was...so the best Jay could hope for was a second place finish and $2,000. Therefore Jay should have bet no more than $4,802 and probably less than that...$4,802 covers Emma's score should she bet the $20,201 she actually did and miss the question).
That should read "Emma's current score of $26,400 by the way.
Jeopardy James took himself out of the game I do believe. He could have went on and on and on and on...
That would only make sense if he had beat the record. He truly cane up against smart opponents in his last game.
Really enjoyed and looked forward to watching you play each day. Respect from Montreal, Canada.
I'm sticking by my initial reaction to the final answer. He took a dive, for reasons only he knows. Sure seems like a nice guy. (The tax man will come a calling!)
No his bet was rational. If he and Emma miss final jeopardy, he wins the game even if the 2nd player is the only player to answer right. Emma loses if she misses and the 2nd player is right. She didn't protect the downside.

Damn dude, I wanted him to break the record so bad! Glad he won so much money, hope his family doesn’t have to worry financially anymore!
Really enjoyed watching his run. I hope the new guy Emma has as much luck.
Emma and Rachel Maddow but have the same look. What cool guys!
Pretty sure that was not the actual check lmao. His look was like "uhhh, thanks??"
Why would a local CBS station be responsible for a national NBC show. You can see his face he knows that's just a televison stunt and he doesnt really appreciate it.
I think he was just tired of playing he just let somebody else have it he didn't even go for the higher dollar amounts like he usually did, and he didn't seem to be upset about losing, Emma seems VERY GOOD but I don't think she will be on more THAN a few days
I disagree !Only one question was not answered correctly.She is very bright but she was psyched for the game!She played to win not to lose!
Like Ken Jennings, it was pretty obvious that they were tired of it.
He was looking for the daily doubles. She got both in double jeopardy which is why he lost
She’ll lose by Friday .... just watch
