James Holzhauer’s latest ‘Jeopardy’ win saved Tom Brady from eating a strawberry

Correction: A typo in the headline has been fixed and an update to the story has been added. Tom Brady has previously eaten a strawberry on ‘The Colbert Report.’

James Holzhauer made his return to ‘Jeopardy’ on Monday and you’ll never guess what happened… he won!

Shocking, I know because it feels like this guy may never lose. And sorry if this is a spoiler but come on, everyone knew he was going to win again.

The 34-year-old professional sports gambler from Las Vegas picked up $89,229 to bring his total winnings to $1,780,237 in 23 victories.

His latest win was a big one for New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady who tweeted on Monday that he would eat a strawberry live on Instagram on Tuesday if Holzhauer lost.

Brady claims to have never had a strawberry in his life (UPDATE: He did eat one on Colbert a few years back) and it’s something that’s apparently against the TB12 diet, so this was big:

Brady never had a doubt, tho:

While Brady has 6 Super Bowl rings, a supermodel wife, and millions of dollars I do feel bad for him because strawberries are delicious.

But he seems to be doing just fine without them, I guess.
