News_Resource Go,James,go!

Just think of all the taxes our loving Government gets to take.

It seems like Alex “digs” at him. Good for you James!

He definitely has dead people in his basement 😱

And in way less time then Ken Jennings

It’s a great time to be a trivia fan! If you like Ken Jennings, watch him on Best Ever Trivia Show coming June 10 on Game Show Network.

I believe he was also a big winner on The Chase beast

When I am out and cannot be at home, I tape Jeopardy - DO NOT WANT TO MISS IT!

Have we talked about this guy being Dave’s doppelgänger yet? DaveandChuck

It's awesome to see alliemackay boyfriend get the praise he deserves.

Please stop him BenRothenberg .

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🏆👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍

Congratulations! Well deserved!!

Breaking news?

Congratulations

Amazing to watch!

They don't teach it at school. LOL

Happy Earth Day

stilldretruth 😱

You'll never see a black person winning on Jeopardy. Why? Because in their motherland they couldn't even come up with a calendar or build cities.

He knows 99% of all questions asked lol no way that's possible! Gotta be fraud

Call b.s

Gomer Pyle lives.

He is not doing anything that Austin or Ken or a lot of the other big winners have done. He is just a bigger risk taker and so far it paying off. With the daily doubles. I have only seen him miss one. Go James!!!!

Yo spoiler alert for the west coast....

What does he gamble on?

That's great... I'll be sure to notify the IRS...

Talented Thinker!! Congrats, you did it again!

That dude is a monster... Chewing up the competition. Yes, I know. Lame. It's ok though. I'm high 😎

this guy is so handsome but I feel like he’s got Siri and Alexa microchipped in him

Take advantage of the daily doubles I don’t understand why contestants don’t do what he does, games are over by the time double jeopardy starts

WTF, SPOILERS!

SPOILER ALERT. It hasn’t even aired in the west coast yet!!!!!

The fun is gone out of it with this guy.......... they need to limit the winnings and get him off, hes boring

I wanna see him go up against Alex Jacob. Man was a beast.

That’s amazing!!

He's a genius. He should compete with trump 😀

barbarastarrcnn Where can you stream full episodes?

I live in Los Angeles...you suck.

Heads up against Jennings for a week million dollar prize would be awesome!

Good for him. Tribeck looks good! Keep on fighting

Why did you just spoil for the West Coast? That was really rotten of you to do.

Amazing to see that no one mentions that he seems to clearly be autistic or at least a savant. He’s more than just smart. We’re dealing with Rainman here.

is this 💰 'tax free?'

Crazy conspiracy theory: Jeopardy is manufacturing an incredible champion and incredible media story to carry viewers past Alex Trebek coming back for ceremonial first episode of new season in fall then retiring. Great champion keeps viewers from bailing on new host right away.

Does Jeopardy have insurance for this type of financial anomaly?

Thanks for spoiling that for those of us on the west coast

My congratulations to a very brilliant person you are the best contestant I have seen in jeopardy !!!!

Jesus what

lmao people mad about jeopardy spoilers

He’s good but did he pick Columbus over Tampa Bay.

It really sucks to be any other contestant.

This is the dude who got away with writing extra shit in his final jeopardy answer BOO

The game of life. If Bernie were in charge he'd take home 100,000.

This guy is going to bankrupt Jeopardy. He's making more per episode than Alex Trebek.

Those of us on the West coast kinda want to watch this for ourselves (starting in 90 minutes). Big surprise for CNN, not everyone is an East coast elite.

Fun to watch...but I hope when his incredible streak is over, they invite all these other contestants back for a second go at it, who never stood a chance against Mr. Holzhauer 😄

I wonder if he's got a big penis too?

The questions are easier than they used to be.

Spoiler much? Sheesh.

FFS CNN —-west coast!

He should look happier

What’s that after tax?

ASSHOLES

In 14 days! Amazing

What ever he did before, he's got to be pretty fucking smart to win 14 days straight.

The only reason I know who this guy is is bc of alliemackay

Can u not spoil it for west coast people?!?!

This guy is sooo smart.

Spoiler alert asshats

Now overthrow Ken Jennings

Spoiler wtf
