Jeopardy Winner Friday April 19

(@Jeopardy) April 18, 2019 Family is important to Holzhauer, who has made sure to shout out his late 'Granny' during Final Jeopardy, because he first grew to love the show as a kid by watching it. See who's competing this week, find out who our returning champion is and catch other must-see moments happening on Jeopardy! Look for today’s full Jeopardy! Recap with the Daily Doubles and more information on Final Jeopardy! Between 2:00 and 3:00 p.m. (Central) right here at Fikkle Fame in the Jeopardy Recaps category. Occasionally, we get preempted. In that case, we’ll let you know and have the recap and results up as soon as possible. Alex Jacob (born October 27, 1984) is a former professional poker player and game show contestant.

Recap for Fri., Apr. Gabby, a public affairs manager from Nevada, was bribed by her mom to take Italian with a trip to Italy; James, a professional sports gambler from Nevada, wasn't impressed by the taste of scorpion and the jury's out on the effectiveness of bull testicles. James is an eleven-day champ with winnings of $771,920.

James Holzhauer won another game on Thursday night’s Jeopardy! broadcast, his 11th in a row, although he “only” won $74,133, a relatively low total for the professional sports gambler from Las Vegas during his jaw-dropping run.

His strategy — starting off with the more expensive clues first, betting extremely high amounts on Daily Doubles and also being right a lot — has led him to break the record for single-day winnings, to then break his own record and to shoot up to second on the all-time money list behind the legendary Ken Jennings.

So how does Jennings — who won 74 straight games and won $2,520,700 in the process — feel about the player who’s creating the buzz only matched by Jennings himself?

He also made a really good point about betting on Holzhauer:

It really is “absolutely insane” what Holzhauer is doing, and if you watch the episodes, you can see how it throws off opponents who have to go for the big money clues and watch as Holzhauer nails the answers. Before they can blink, he’s got too much money for them to catch up.
