Imagine you finally get to be on jeopardy, then its like "you're playing with Tom, a teacher from Minnesota, and James who is on a 27 game winning streak."
ua-cam.com/video/4BMO-Ll_uj4/v-deo.html
That'd be my reaction. :)
I think Alex was choked up at the end too...you hear it in his voice. Well played James!
Agree
He certainly sounded sad. I know I was too
I mean given what Alex has been going through this was the one stable he was looking forward to every day
Maybe, but Alex is also in a ton of pain due to Stage 4 Pancreatic cancer so....
As with Ken, when you get to host 32 games with a single contestant, you really begin to enjoy spending time with them. I’m very sure he was very sad that James lost.
James will always be remembered for this amazing run. Your grandma would be proud of you, champ.
Didn't even know who he was till now.
the man completely redefined Jeopardy. Even Ken Jennings told the press he could not keep up with James. Holtzhauer wrecked this game. Totally destroyed it. I was SHOCKED with his performance. 100K plus in some games. He totally dominated. Ken was my Jeopardy hero...then James came along, right before this pandemic, and created a new hero. 100K a game............80 thousand a game, even 60 thousand a game. Over and over and OVER again. James is my hero. Sad he lost....I think it was deliberate. Had he continued.....he would have continued to destroy contestants.....from doctors, proefessors, lawyers, lesser professionals. Emma was s journalist, and VERY smart. But......I think James threw this one. Emma was intelligent...he should have had the victory, but....he lost.
For me..despite not beating the Jennings record....James Holzhauer is the greatest player in Jeopardy history. No disrespect to Ken or Brad Rutter but this strategy was the most exciting I've seen in modern Game Show History. Thank you James for making quizzing in America cool again!
I agree, James is the greatest Jeopardy player ever. Nearly beat Ken Jennings' record and in LESS THAN HALF as many games. I'm sure he could beat Ken in a tournament.
these episodes were also filmed months ago. like im pretty sure the episodes in the late 20's of his streak were filmed the same day of alex's cancer announcement. like he probably had already lost after maybe the 2nd or 3rd episode of his streak aired.
Not A Bear jewrassic liar is nothing more than a conspirator. No facts, just ranting about random topics. I read one of his comments. He said that it was impossible for James to be that smart. Jewrassic liar is blatantly ignorant and if you can’t recognize that as soon as you hear him, then I have nothing to say to you
Can you explain to me what the strategy was?
@Not A Bear wtf u talking about you crazy fuck?....lol
James Holzhauer holds all of the 1-day records! He’s made history on this show.
Emma learned how to bet from James. She would have never bet like that, know one EVER did before. She's smart for sure, but he's a gambler as well as genius!
@@susanpack4784 Yeah, that's the edge James had over most contestants, he was never afraid to bet big. As a gambler he's used to it. Most contestants when they hit Daily Doubles are too afraid to bet it all or most of it because they don't want to take the chance of falling behind other contestants. James always bet most of it in final Jeopardy even in a runaway game. But he risked enough to keep him ahead even if he was wrong. As a professional gambler, he knows that the first rule of gambling is, "Don't bet more than you can afford to lose." But then again, every response you give on Jeopardy is a gamble. He also seems to go by the saying, "Go big or go home."
Even now, James holds the top 10 spots for individual game winnings. Matt Amodio recently came close to beating James’s 10th-highest single game winnings at around $81,000, but he missed the record by less than one thousand dollars.
The old one day record was $77,000. The new record is $131,127! I would just to see someone try and break THAT record!
James had a great run on Jeopardy. Sad to see him go.😥
he's lucky he got on now, and not the time when he was a kid, otherwise like Brad, the world would never know how many game he could have possibly won. Rutter is the only one to win every person-entered contest.
I hate the new champion. James was much better
I WANT B O N E L E S S W A T E R !!!!! Yes James is my favorite champion this season.
@@hudsongraham2603 yeah he is my fav champ too
Gamer Prodigy WHY???? SHE LEARNED FROM THE BEST...... 1.) GO BIG OR GO HOME 2.) FOR JAMES..... GUESSING HE’S JUST TIRED...... EMMA?..... HIGH FIVE GIRL, YOU’RE ON DECK FOR THE WINNING STREAK.😛
Congratulations on a great run, James. You were a brilliant champ, indeed.
I...AM...SPEECHLESS that James’ winning streak ended the way it did!
Alex Trebek said he thought Jay and Emma were thinking “enough’s enough”. Well, enough was certainly enough on this occasion, and Alex did say that all good things have to come to an end after Ken Jennings lost his 75th episode.
Morgan Laughlin Why did James bet so little for final Jeopardy? It was so out of character for him. It seems like maybe he wanted to lose.
@@spacecadet2172 Emma bet $1 more than if James had bet everything and got it right, so it didn't matter.
Space Cadet Because, he wanted to assure that Jay was not going to overtake him for second place, regardless of whether or not he got the Final Jeopardy response correctly. So he needed to hope that Emma missed the clue, because he knew how much she needed to wager if she wanted to win that game.
Yeah people might have missed it because of the contrast but Jay was actually really good too and probably could have won a Jeopardy game against more average players. He was kind of the overlooked x-factor. With 3 really good players competing, it meant that James couldn't maintain the level of board dominance he was used to and get a high chance to find the daily doubles. That's how all streaks end, eventually your luck runs out and another player gets the DDs. The reason James lasted so long was that his insane board control allowed him to find almost all of them and create runaways. Emma made the winning play going all in and was able to maintain control of the lead with it, while Jay was smart and fast enough to keep James from being able to catch up to her with normal answers. One of the fiercest games of Jeopardy ever.
Emma is an excellent player, she always has a puncher's chance against James. She gave him a stiff test in the tournament too.
James has been the best Jeopardy! champion ever. I enjoyed every game out of 33. I'm incredibly sad that it's over now, but love the way he handled loss on yesterday's program.
I’m at a loss for words. What a staggering accomplishment. The feeling I felt when James lost was strikingly similar to when my sports teams lose 😂
Worse
We watched a champion get $60,000 short of becoming number 1 of all time and lose because someone else got lucky with the daily doubles..
He made Jeopardy fun to watch again! Thanks James
I never enjoyed Jeopardy more since it’s been on! I’m so sad he is not going to be on anymore!! He is so sweet and adorable! Good luck James!!!!
Actually, he is. He’s possibly going to add $250,000 in the next ToC.
He'll be back, probably a few times.
Tournament of Champions for sure
If Trebek gets to season 40, i'd hope they allow another long tournament like the UToC but maybe this time with just players who have done the following:
-Won more than 7 games
-Won a tournament
-Are named James, Ken, Brad, Austin, Julian, or David
Alex Trebek has no intention of doing 40 seasons, whether or not he manages to survive pancreatic cancer. He signed a 3-yr contract shortly before he was diagnosed, said at the time that it was his last contract and he would retire, and he would be 81 at that point and it would be season 38. Only modern medicine knows if he'll even survive his current contract, tho he has said he intends to keep going to work. Who knows who they'll get to replace him. It will be the end of a great TV era once Alex leaves the stage.
Carl Mack Would prefer James Holzhauer, Ken Jennings, Brad Rutter, Larissa Kelly, Alex Jacob, and Matt Jackson.
@@scarletribbons6891 Wow, that's a pretty specific and detailed answer. Thanks.
Sad to see James go. But this will go down in JEOPARDY! History.
I am so sad to see James go.
Same! Let's hope James Holzhauer wins $250,000 on the Tournament of Champions
His goofy smile cracks me up 😂😂
Its such a forced smile, almost looks as if hes constipated.
Thank you James for such an exciting run to watch! History has been made. You will be missed.
I yelled so loud when James lost. Like my favorite sports team just died. Not lost but died.
Also a fun fact we can attach to James. He’s why jeopardy stopped allowing shout outs at final jeopardy.
Great run James! Groundbreaking strategy.
Can u explain what the strategy was?
@@ChescoYT
Get money quickly by going through the bottom of the board. Then bet big on Daily Doubles (pretty sure he always went with a true DD on the first round) to get a blowout lead. Smaller DD bets in the second round to keep his lead if he missed the clue. Large bets on Final but not enough to risk losing.
@@CharlesLumia ty!
Charles Lumia **sometimes** smaller bets in the Double Jeopardy round 😜
As my senior year of high school was coming to an end in 2019, I watched almost all of James' episodes. The ones I missed were when I went to convocation night, and prom night.
Same
James was the best thing to happen to Jeopardy! in a long time. Sad to see him go.
I think Alex was about to cry...Loved watching James.
No one:
James : 😁
Normie
Sad that it all ended with a high five/hand shake standoff ☠
Cried when he lost. I love James so much!!😭❤️
James is literally my hero
He's set so many records, and still has a lot of work to do in the tournament of champions! I'm sure he'll have stiffer competition there but will still have a good showing
Maybe he'll be in the second Ultimate Tournament of Champions.
@@tristangardner3889 yeye! and I think if he wins the normal ToC he'll probably be offered the same thing as Ken when the next UToC comes in that he'll be an automatic finalist
Now I can't wait for the Tournament of Champions!! It was really nice while it lasted.
2019: Another Friday with James
2021: another Monday with Matt
I love Mondays only because of Matt
All you people claiming that James must've lost on purpose are just silly. Perhaps you could benefit by looking up "Dunning-Kruger Effect". Or "Occam's Razor", because there's a simpler explanation than the idea that James was tired of getting rich, or tired of doing what he does for a living anyway.
Emma played aggressively like James does, _and_ she had better luck with the Daily Doubles. (James found his too early to be able to place a large bet; then Emma found the other two, keeping James from capitalizing on them. And she bet large enough amounts on them to keep ahead of James.) And between Emma and Jay, they kept James from doing what he normally does: monopolizing the board.
Due to their dollar amounts going into Final Jeopardy, James knew he couldn't win if Emma bet big and got the question right, so all he could do was to hope that she would get it wrong. In case he also got it wrong, he wanted to end up with more money than her, which he could only do with a smaller bet. And most importantly to the exact size of the bet, he wanted to ensure Jay couldn't beat him-- that either way, James would come in second at worst. And that's exactly what happened, because he bet strategically.
James didn't throw the game, he just got beat, fair and square.
Edited to add: I'm a huge Holzhauer fan, and I wanted to see his winning streak continue! In my mind he may be the greatest player yet, given how much he won in such a short time. The hardest thing about remaining a Jeopardy champion is, it only takes one loss for your reign to end-- and that's what happened here. I'm looking forward to seeing James in the next Tournament of Champions!
yup, he had $1,400 more than twice that of Jay, meaning he was only a lock for 2nd, not first, but by only that tiny amount, which he stayed within- barely, at $1,399, the most he could wager and guarantee 2nd no matter what, and extreme luck for 1st (it was clear Emma knew her stuff, but she wasn't the only one to challenge him, look how close his 18th game was- he could have lost that very easily if he hadn't gotten the Daily Double).
Also, it is very likely that he was wearing down physically, even if it's only by 0.0001 second delay, it's enough to not be as quick on the buzzer as he needs to be. People focus on the trivia aspect of Jeopardy, but completely ignore the fact that it's all about the buzzer, who can click in the fastest, and James was being beaten quite a bit more than usual during his last game- fatigue perhaps, just enough to delay his motor response?
@@jackson5116 You're right, the buzzer is key! I think that Jay and Emma were fast enough to compete with James when it comes to that. Personally, I doubt fatigue was a factor for James, but it's possible.
Right, it wasn't just that Emma was really good and got the Daily Doubles .... it was that Jay was very smart, too. Between the two of them, James couldn't run the board as usual. It was the perfect storm needed to stop James.
no skoolz If he had lost on purpose he would have waited until he beat Ken Jennings’ earnings record. This was a game he wanted to win, but Emma and Jay were enough to bring him down.
RIP Alex Trebek--I'm glad that he got to see a player like James come along-near the end of his life--I will always believe James is better than Jennings
I think he quit on purpose for his family. Holtzhauer would have still been champion today. He was CRUSHING opponents. Outright CRUSHING them.
@@MrMaddox57 he played the woman who beat him in a tournament of championship game and beat her and won $250K--I agree I think he had had enough at this point and had nothing more to prove (although I wish he could have won more money than Jennings-I wasn't a "big fan" of Jennings)
@@bufnyfan1 thanks man. I just, well, I understand family and all. I just would have loved to have seen James totally continue his streak and steamroll so many other wins. I get it if he did what he did for his daughter. But had he wanted to continue? It is very possible, ok, pandemic going on, but still. He would have crushed opponent after opponent. This guy, if the show is real, and please do not attack me on that, as we never know as mere spectators......if it IS real. Holtzhauer would have taken out so many people it would be unbelievable. Some super-intelligent challengers would have come up against him and he STILL would have totally destroyed them! He is MY personal favorite. Jennings was good, but Jennings was your old-school intellect, and slow on the draw. I loved James. He caught alot of hate, don't know if you liked him or not but.....he was my personal favorite. Alex loved the hell out of him. Emma beat him, lol, but I like her as well. I just loved how James CRUSHED his opponents. Just me, maybe that is the case, but he is something else. That is something else.
@@MrMaddox57 James was not only incredibly intelligent-but he invented strategies that overwhelmed his opponents--the biggest one was going for the biggest money questions first in both Jeopardy and Double Jeopardy--he would run up his money total early and further increase it by being totally fearless in betting everything in Double Jeopardy--developing a huge lead that would completely demoralize his opponents---I always remember the game he lost-he picked a "Double Jeopardy" on the first pick of the game in Jeopardy and could only bet $1000-he just didn't come out out of the gate like he usually did
@@bufnyfan1 You and Karl should hear James Holzhauer squeal when Sony makes Ken the Jeopardy host.
James creates the new meta for jeopardy. Pretty crazy.
James holzhauer will aways be my favourite jeopardy champion ever
James broke more records on Jeopardy which means he is qualified to compete on Jeopardy! The Greatest of All Time! He's fantastic.
I Can hardly wait till the Tournament of Champions; The Only time James will be coming back to Jeopardy!
Not only did he have the knowledge to crush it on this show, but he had the guts. His wagers on Daily Doubles and in Final Jeopardy is where he made his hay. What a player!
James, I'm Going To Miss You and You Played Jeopardy! Like a BOSS and You Broke The 4-Game Curse and You Were Hands Down ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, Man!
*I would like to see a Tournament of Champions game between James , Matt Amodio & Austin Rogers !!!*
Those single day totals are sick. Haven't seen anyone else make wagers like that. No wonder people say he is cocky.
Wow, James was a great victory.
Jeopardy will never be the same again.
so people will go back to top down instead of bottom across?
James, an amazing player. Who for sure will be in the annals of Jeopardy legend for a long time. So close to beating that cash record, but he can keep his head high in praise for an outstanding run.
James had a great run. But I was really surprised he wagered so little for Final Jeopardy on his last day.
I think he's done
He wants to go gamble more than he can now, all at once, with his family - not on a show earning max $50k-100k a show.
No?
it was such a peasly bet, he was banking on her getting it wrong and making a wager
Teknics
Yeah. That was pretty much my thinking.
It's because he was behind. He had no chance of winning if Emma got the question right and bet correctly. So, he was making sure that he would have enough left to win if she and him both got it wrong and the third place guy doubled up to $22,000. $23,400 - $1,399 = $22,001 :)
@@DrewciferTek - Her wager was predictable and he knew he was already dependent on her answering incorrectly to win so he ensured he would remain ahead of a possible double up by 3rd place even if he didn't know the answer himself. This meant an automatic win if she answered wrong which like I said he needed anyways as he was covered.
This mathematically INCREASED his chances of winning and is the complete opposite of throwing the game his wager was strategic to the dollar
Ironically him wagering the max would have been a sign he had given up as it was mathematically the worst wager and completely against his nature
@@PabloGonzalez-hv3td cheers. Thank you! Yes this makes sense I just didn't do the math and went with gut feeling.
Although today was sad to see James go, I am still very impressed with his 32 day run 🙌 Jeopardy James shall still live within the Jeopardy Hall of Fame due to the records broken 🙌 James is still really awesome and am happy the way he played through his 32 days. Can’t wait to maybe see him return if he decides to compete in Tournament of Champions! Way to go on 32 days James and Good Luck to Emma on her second day tomorrow 🙌
He will compete in the ToC, he's beyond qualified to do so.
He'll also get into the Guinness Book of World Records.
Sorry for the unpopular opinion, but I still consider Ken the greatest player of all time. We can now all appreciate how difficult it is to win 74 games, especially now knowing that someone as good as James wasn't even able to reach half the same number. James certainly changed the dynamic of the game with his large wagers, but actually that kind of strategy was already done before by another player named Alex Jacob.
Did Alex trebek cry as he sent off
He was definitely emotional to be sure, you could see it on his face and hear it in his cracking voice and his exclaiming "Oh God!", which is usually quite out of character for Mr. Trebek.
A little bit, though he's admitted that his cancer treatments have made him more emotional than usual too.
James has been a joy to watch. Wish him all the best and hope to see him on other game shows.
James didn't have the best luck with the daily doubles which did him in. It must be a little bittersweet for him to be so close to Ken's record, but what a fun and exciting ride. Congratulations to Emma for winning and being so clutch. I wonder if she will have a good run. It's awesome how humble James was and I am happy to see so much interest in Jeopardy from the fans. It was awesome to watch!
if she didn't make it a true daily double, she wouldn't have won.
Ken vs Brad vs James. Who wins in 3 day tournament?
Tough to say but I'd have to stick with Brad.
Looking forward to seeing the three of them challenge each other.
I don't know but I would like to see it happen
James
James
I’m totally convinced he threw this last Final Jeopardy. Smallest wager he ever placed. Not even enough to beat his opponent’s score going into the final round. Don’t tell me he didn’t run the math. He wanted to go all the way to the edge of Ken Jennings’ record without dethroning him. Prove it to himself without the PR obligations. Still one of the all-time greatest Jeopardy! players. Looking forward to seeing him at the next Tournament of Champions.
Google why his wager was the smartest choice he could've made
And several people said this: he wagered enough, so that, if Emma *did* get it wrong (that's a big *if*, BTW), he would win.
I didn't think he was beatable, I thought they'd have to end the show. We enjoyed it.
I’ll see you at the tournament of champions James
Brought the whole world together for a little while
Wow! Awesome! This guy is on fire with several Jeopardy rounds!
Alex Jacob tried using the 'bet it all' strategy in the big Team Tournament, and it backfired when he missed. It doesn't always work when the questions get tougher.
Just realized his last win took place on my 20th birthday! Love that
James Holzhauer is my kind of Jeopardy champion
Ken Jennings - 74 gold medals and a silver
James Holzhauer - 32 gold medals and a silver
Julia Collins - 20 gold medals and a bronze
Arthur Chu - 11 gold medals and a bronze
Matt Amodio - 37 gold medals yet to pick up a bronze or silver medal
David Madden - 19 gold medals and a silver
Even if James wagered it all, he would've lost to Emma anyways. He won $2,464,126, making him one of Jeopardy!'s best contestants right behind Ken Jennings.
I remembered this. This was impressive. He was close to breaking a record from Ken Jennings but being on Jeopardy for about 2 months straight is amazing.
Good Job! James Holzhauer for being a Jeopardy! champion now your No. 2 in all regular games won good job on a 32-Game Run Champion and winning $2,462,216 in 32 Games Your Grandma will be proud of your 32-Game Streak Run.
No 3 Matt won 38
Will miss you James Holzhauer
I hear the ratings going down into the ground now
James is such a cool guy. Not only is he unbelievably brilliant, with trivia and game strategy, but he’s so interesting and genuine. I’m not sad he lost for record pursposes, I’m sad he lost because he won’t be on the tv everyday. Hopefully he gets a job in a baseball front office, or a pro handicapper. Congrats James
I’m gonna miss seeing him on the show so badly. It’s gonna be hard to watch without him sometimes.
James will always be a legend. One of the greatest contestants ever.
Alex trying not to cry LOL AWWWW
Jeopardy - You need to have a week long tournament between James Holzhauer and Ken Jennings. Just a one-on-one, week-long tournament. Your ratings would go thru the roof! And each of them gets to keep ALL the money they earn, none of this $1,000, $2,000 BS.
he threw the game.....it is very obvious. James is my favorite. Jennings could never respond as quickly, James might have even bested him in answering the questions. James is a new breed. He would have taken down Jennings, Amodio, Rutter, Buzzy, and everyone else in a straight up competition. I think he quit for family. Had Holtzhauer continued on? He would STILL be Jeopardy champ today. No question. ZERO question about that. He would have went on crushing even more intelligent Jeopardy contestants.....he would still be champ today, I challenge anyone to oppose me on this. James would still be the returning champion.
Fantastic competitor. Dude’s brilliant.
This guy is like Biff from back to the future pt2
love to see the congratulations by james and the high five.
What a classy guy coming over to high five her!!
Imagine being the woman who finally took down James.
He got his revenge on her in the Tournament of champions though lol so he had the last laugh!
@@CCROGGY and no matter what if you defeat a champion that’s been on the show for a while and developed a massive fanbase then the backlash is inevitable
they should have james come in every year to do hosting duties on the april fools day shows.
I’m not watching Jeopardy for a while, gonna miss Jeopardy James
I was jealous that James Holzhauer starts at the bottom Alex Trebek would've been friends with him too long
It was incredible to watch. My family and I will miss watching him :')
This makes me excited for the Tournament of Champions. Yes, it is disappointing to see James’s run end after 32 games, but if we see him again during the Tournament of Champions, it will be quite the treat.
(James wins it, I’m calling it now)
I'm not much of a jeopardy fan so I've never even watched a tournament, but with James in it you know I'm damn sure gonna be there, lol.
I think it would have been a truly unforgettable and iconic moment if his winning streak
came to an end because he failed to answer in the form of a question or didn't know
who was buried in Grant's Tomb.
Jesus Christ I'm crying tears of joy for this dude
Man so close, yet so far. This is nothing short of a historic run, however; Ken must be proud. And not just him.
James, well done on Jeopardy! The thing that is on the table is what will happen at the tournament of champions.
I remember, the night that James lost, we hadn't known it yet because on *that* night, our TV decided to stop working.
Besides playing against two smart individuals (Jay & Emma) in the last game, James' game plan he had followed got disrupted for him to lose. He needed to control the board and get those Daily Doubles to really be safe each game. The first question he got when he started the game where he was dethroned was a Daily Double for 1k. He was only able to bet 1k and barely benefited from it at all. He usually has anywhere from 3-7K and goes "all in" to really increase his lead. The fact that he couldn't keep the board and Emma getting those 2 Daily Doubles in the second round really hurt. Not only gaining ground, but denying James them 100%. One only gained her 3K or so, but the other made her go from $7,600 to $15,200... This 7.6K increase basically replaced what James USUALLY got in that first round Daily Double as he controlled the board. That is my theory on that specific game... Even though he was against two very bright individuals, I really think that first question Daily Double REALLY hurt him...
James should have his own wing in the Jeopardy hall of fame.
This man changed the way we play Jeopardy!
James run on Jeopardy reminds me of a quote by Ryan Hayashi.
"If you have a dream, never give up. Believing your dream, Living your dream, and doing something every day to make that dream comes true.
But remember one thing. No matter who you are. No matter how hard you work.
Or how good you think you are at what you do, there will always be an Asian who takes it to the next level."
Goodbye to our champion we will miss you 😭😭😭😃😃😃💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
Aw... I will miss him... he was great!
I will forever miss James.
Im still mad at this
i became connected to james, i never wanted him to lose, but he did and now we will never see 100,000 on the board for another decade
GOAT, what an absolute tragedy he had to lose by a fluke. never again will this happen again in jeopardy.
I dreamt of Alex passing a torch to James
What is when he is said his grandma it made me cry a little because some of my best memories were watching Jeopardy with my grandma?
He made over $2.4 Million in only 32 days! OMG, he’s rich! 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰
If I ever went on a quiz show this guy would be my coach
type of dude ur just hanging out and you say "what the hell kind of bird is that" and he just always knows. You see any car like "woah that thing is cool" and he just knows the exact model
Now I want to see James Holzhauer and the other 2 Tournament of Champions finalists from 2019 against that Super computer Watson because I have a very good feeling that he could beat Watson. While Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter took a gander and lost.
very entertaining and cool sense of humor
The nerdiness and awkwardness of that high five, tho . . .
I saw Alex in tears when he said goodbye to James
