Our favorite professional sports gambler from Las Vegas with a super-fast clicker finger, all the answers and risky bets on Daily Doubles is back in action on Monday night.
James Holzhauer will resume his run on Jeopardy! in the middle of a 22-game winning streak, having won a whopping $1.69 million. That means he trails the legendary Ken Jennings by 52 games (as amazed as we are by Holzaheur, that’s pretty mind-blowing for Jennings), but is actually just $829,692 behind Jennings’ $2,520,700.
So how quickly can Holzhauer reach Jennings on the money list?
Let’s do some math: He’s averaged $76,864 per win. So if he keeps up that pace, it’ll take him between 10 or 11 victories to reach Jennings, or about two weeks’ worth of games.
Sit back and continue to enjoy the ride … and maybe once again, someone can actually get a shot at beating him.
