“Jeopardy!” viewers got a two-week pause in watching the record-breaking run of James Holzhauer, but he was back with a vengeance during Monday’s game.
Also known as “Jeopardy James,” Holzhauer won his 23rd game in a row Monday, adding $89,229 to his record-breaking winnings.
In all, Holzhauer has won $1,780,237. He is only the second person to win more than $1 million during regular-season play.
Holzhauer holds several records on the gameshow, including the highest winnings in a single game. He is averaging winnings of $76,864, which puts him in third place for all time winnings, including tournaments.
He still has a plenty of winning to do before he catches Jeopardy legend Ken Jennings, in both consecutive wins and all time winnings, but if he continues to win he could do it by the end of the season.
