‘Jeopardy’ brings back James Holzhauer and his conqueror, Emma Boettcher

James Holzhauer and “Jeopardy!” host Alex Trebek.

James Holzhauer, the $2 million “Jeopardy!” juggernaut from Naperville, will compete in the show’s Tournament of Champions — as will the University of Chicago librarian who broke his winning streak.

Holzhauer and Emma Boettcher are among the 15 all-stars participating in the tourney airing Nov. 4-15, the show announced Wednesday.

A professional sports gambler based in Las Vegas, Holzhauer used aggressive strategy to win $2,462,216 last spring until Boettcher shut down his 32-game streak on June 3.

They’ll compete against players who won the most games since the last Tournament of Champions, as well as the most recent Teachers Tournament and College Championship winners.
