You can see how the beef between James Holzhauer and Ken Jennings continues to develop — and if there will be any shots fired that are as brutal as the one against Brad Rutter in the GOAT Tournament — as Jeopardy! Masters continues at 8 p.m. ET Monday, Wednesday and Friday on ABC.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is why James Holzhauer is THE resident troll of Jeopardy! This absolute demolishing of Brad Rutter came during 2020’s Jeopardy! The Greatest of All Time tournament, which pit the 2019 Tournament of Champions winner (who holds every spot in the Top 10 of single-game winnings) against Ken Jennings — record-holder of most consecutive games won — and Rutter, who has earned more money than any other Jeopardy! champion.
James Holzhauer can talk a good game, but Ken Jennings bested him in the GOAT Tournament, creating a friendly rivalry between the two.
He also trolled his competition in last year’s Jeopardy! Masters by quoting a Brad Pitt movie, and he couldn’t even get through a congratulatory message to Amy Schneider without dragging Brad Rutter (again) and Ken Jennings a little.
