Imagine you finally get to be on jeopardy, then its like "you're playing with Tom, a teacher from Minnesota, and James who is on a 27 game winning streak."

I think Alex was choked up at the end too...you hear it in his voice. Well played James!

James will always be remembered for this amazing run. Your grandma would be proud of you, champ.

For me..despite not beating the Jennings record....James Holzhauer is the greatest player in Jeopardy history. No disrespect to Ken or Brad Rutter but this strategy was the most exciting I've seen in modern Game Show History. Thank you James for making quizzing in America cool again!

James Holzhauer holds all of the 1-day records! He’s made history on this show.

James had a great run on Jeopardy. Sad to see him go.😥

Congratulations on a great run, James. You were a brilliant champ, indeed.

James has been the best Jeopardy! champion ever. I enjoyed every game out of 33. I'm incredibly sad that it's over now, but love the way he handled loss on yesterday's program.

I...AM...SPEECHLESS that James’ winning streak ended the way it did! Alex Trebek said he thought Jay and Emma were thinking “enough’s enough”. Well, enough was certainly enough on this occasion, and Alex did say that all good things have to come to an end after Ken Jennings lost his 75th episode.

I’m at a loss for words. What a staggering accomplishment. The feeling I felt when James lost was strikingly similar to when my sports teams lose 😂

He made Jeopardy fun to watch again! Thanks James

I never enjoyed Jeopardy more since it’s been on! I’m so sad he is not going to be on anymore!! He is so sweet and adorable! Good luck James!!!!

Thank you James for such an exciting run to watch! History has been made. You will be missed.

Great run James! Groundbreaking strategy.

Sad to see James go. But this will go down in JEOPARDY! History.

James was the best thing to happen to Jeopardy! in a long time. Sad to see him go.

His goofy smile cracks me up 😂😂

As my senior year of high school was coming to an end in 2019, I watched almost all of James' episodes. The ones I missed were when I went to convocation night, and prom night.

I think Alex was about to cry...Loved watching James.

2019: Another Friday with James 2021: another Monday with Matt

James is literally my hero

Cried when he lost. I love James so much!!😭❤️

He's set so many records, and still has a lot of work to do in the tournament of champions! I'm sure he'll have stiffer competition there but will still have a good showing

No one: James : 😁

Now I can't wait for the Tournament of Champions!! It was really nice while it lasted.

Sad that it all ended with a high five/hand shake standoff ☠

I yelled so loud when James lost. Like my favorite sports team just died. Not lost but died. Also a fun fact we can attach to James. He’s why jeopardy stopped allowing shout outs at final jeopardy.

James, I'm Going To Miss You and You Played Jeopardy! Like a BOSS and You Broke The 4-Game Curse and You Were Hands Down ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, Man!

RIP Alex Trebek--I'm glad that he got to see a player like James come along-near the end of his life--I will always believe James is better than Jennings

James has been a joy to watch. Wish him all the best and hope to see him on other game shows.

All you people claiming that James must've lost on purpose are just silly. Perhaps you could benefit by looking up "Dunning-Kruger Effect". Or "Occam's Razor", because there's a simpler explanation than the idea that James was tired of getting rich, or tired of doing what he does for a living anyway. Emma played aggressively like James does, _and_ she had better luck with the Daily Doubles. (James found his too early to be able to place a large bet; then Emma found the other two, keeping James from capitalizing on them. And she bet large enough amounts on them to keep ahead of James.) And between Emma and Jay, they kept James from doing what he normally does: monopolizing the board. Due to their dollar amounts going into Final Jeopardy, James knew he couldn't win if Emma bet big and got the question right, so all he could do was to hope that she would get it wrong. In case he also got it wrong, he wanted to end up with more money than her, which he could only do with a smaller bet. And most importantly to the exact size of the bet, he wanted to ensure Jay couldn't beat him-- that either way, James would come in second at worst. And that's exactly what happened, because he bet strategically. James didn't throw the game, he just got beat, fair and square. Edited to add: I'm a huge Holzhauer fan, and I wanted to see his winning streak continue! In my mind he may be the greatest player yet, given how much he won in such a short time. The hardest thing about remaining a Jeopardy champion is, it only takes one loss for your reign to end-- and that's what happened here. I'm looking forward to seeing James in the next Tournament of Champions!

James creates the new meta for jeopardy. Pretty crazy.

James, an amazing player. Who for sure will be in the annals of Jeopardy legend for a long time. So close to beating that cash record, but he can keep his head high in praise for an outstanding run.

Wow, James was a great victory.

Wow! Awesome! This guy is on fire with several Jeopardy rounds!

Did Alex trebek cry as he sent off

Not only did he have the knowledge to crush it on this show, but he had the guts. His wagers on Daily Doubles and in Final Jeopardy is where he made his hay. What a player!

James broke more records on Jeopardy which means he is qualified to compete on Jeopardy! The Greatest of All Time! He's fantastic.

Although today was sad to see James go, I am still very impressed with his 32 day run 🙌 Jeopardy James shall still live within the Jeopardy Hall of Fame due to the records broken 🙌 James is still really awesome and am happy the way he played through his 32 days. Can’t wait to maybe see him return if he decides to compete in Tournament of Champions! Way to go on 32 days James and Good Luck to Emma on her second day tomorrow 🙌

James had a great run. But I was really surprised he wagered so little for Final Jeopardy on his last day.

Fantastic competitor. Dude’s brilliant.

Those single day totals are sick. Haven't seen anyone else make wagers like that. No wonder people say he is cocky.

It was incredible to watch. My family and I will miss watching him :')

Ken vs Brad vs James. Who wins in 3 day tournament?

James didn't have the best luck with the daily doubles which did him in. It must be a little bittersweet for him to be so close to Ken's record, but what a fun and exciting ride. Congratulations to Emma for winning and being so clutch. I wonder if she will have a good run. It's awesome how humble James was and I am happy to see so much interest in Jeopardy from the fans. It was awesome to watch!

I’ll see you at the tournament of champions James

James will always be a legend. One of the greatest contestants ever.

I Can hardly wait till the Tournament of Champions; The Only time James will be coming back to Jeopardy!

*I would like to see a Tournament of Champions game between James , Matt Amodio & Austin Rogers !!!*

😭😭😭 love James

Alex Jacob tried using the 'bet it all' strategy in the big Team Tournament, and it backfired when he missed. It doesn't always work when the questions get tougher.

Just realized his last win took place on my 20th birthday! Love that

love to see the congratulations by james and the high five.

Jeopardy will never be the same again.

I’m totally convinced he threw this last Final Jeopardy. Smallest wager he ever placed. Not even enough to beat his opponent’s score going into the final round. Don’t tell me he didn’t run the math. He wanted to go all the way to the edge of Ken Jennings’ record without dethroning him. Prove it to himself without the PR obligations. Still one of the all-time greatest Jeopardy! players. Looking forward to seeing him at the next Tournament of Champions.

he was a sport, high fiving her like that!

James Holzhauer is my kind of Jeopardy champion

Brought the whole world together for a little while

Will miss you James Holzhauer

Alex trying not to cry LOL AWWWW

I didn't think he was beatable, I thought they'd have to end the show. We enjoyed it.

I remembered this. This was impressive. He was close to breaking a record from Ken Jennings but being on Jeopardy for about 2 months straight is amazing.

very entertaining and cool sense of humor

This guy is like Biff from back to the future pt2

congratulations!

I’m gonna miss seeing him on the show so badly. It’s gonna be hard to watch without him sometimes.

I hear the ratings going down into the ground now

Even if James wagered it all, he would've lost to Emma anyways. He won $2,464,126, making him one of Jeopardy!'s best contestants right behind Ken Jennings.

Jesus Christ I'm crying tears of joy for this dude

Aw... I will miss him... he was great!

What a classy guy coming over to high five her!!

Man so close, yet so far. This is nothing short of a historic run, however; Ken must be proud. And not just him.

I Love U James

James is such a cool guy. Not only is he unbelievably brilliant, with trivia and game strategy, but he’s so interesting and genuine. I’m not sad he lost for record pursposes, I’m sad he lost because he won’t be on the tv everyday. Hopefully he gets a job in a baseball front office, or a pro handicapper. Congrats James

Jeopardy - You need to have a week long tournament between James Holzhauer and Ken Jennings. Just a one-on-one, week-long tournament. Your ratings would go thru the roof! And each of them gets to keep ALL the money they earn, none of this $1,000, $2,000 BS.

I will forever miss James.

This man changed the way we play Jeopardy!

James, well done on Jeopardy! The thing that is on the table is what will happen at the tournament of champions.

If I ever went on a quiz show this guy would be my coach

Ken Jennings - 74 gold medals and a silver James Holzhauer - 32 gold medals and a silver Julia Collins - 20 gold medals and a bronze Arthur Chu - 11 gold medals and a bronze Matt Amodio - 37 gold medals yet to pick up a bronze or silver medal David Madden - 19 gold medals and a silver

I was jealous that James Holzhauer starts at the bottom Alex Trebek would've been friends with him too long

Why is James' last game no longer available to watch. I added to my saved videos to watch later. And it now says video unavailable.

Good Job! James Holzhauer for being a Jeopardy! champion now your No. 2 in all regular games won good job on a 32-Game Run Champion and winning $2,462,216 in 32 Games Your Grandma will be proud of your 32-Game Streak Run.

Hell of a guy. Glad we'll see him back later on.

I’m not watching Jeopardy for a while, gonna miss Jeopardy James

Man, I really wanted him to beat Jennings. I beat Jeopardy hates to see him go, they had so many more viewers with him on the show

I saw Alex in tears when he said goodbye to James

Goodbye to our champion we will miss you 😭😭😭😃😃😃💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞

Im still mad at this i became connected to james, i never wanted him to lose, but he did and now we will never see 100,000 on the board for another decade

What is when he is said his grandma it made me cry a little because some of my best memories were watching Jeopardy with my grandma?

I think it would have been a truly unforgettable and iconic moment if his winning streak came to an end because he failed to answer in the form of a question or didn't know who was buried in Grant's Tomb.

Now I want to see James Holzhauer and the other 2 Tournament of Champions finalists from 2019 against that Super computer Watson because I have a very good feeling that he could beat Watson. While Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter took a gander and lost.

This makes me excited for the Tournament of Champions. Yes, it is disappointing to see James’s run end after 32 games, but if we see him again during the Tournament of Champions, it will be quite the treat. (James wins it, I’m calling it now)

I remember, the night that James lost, we hadn't known it yet because on *that* night, our TV decided to stop working.

type of dude ur just hanging out and you say "what the hell kind of bird is that" and he just always knows. You see any car like "woah that thing is cool" and he just knows the exact model

I dreamt of Alex passing a torch to James

Imagine being the woman who finally took down James.

James should have his own wing in the Jeopardy hall of fame.

Sorry for the unpopular opinion, but I still consider Ken the greatest player of all time. We can now all appreciate how difficult it is to win 74 games, especially now knowing that someone as good as James wasn't even able to reach half the same number. James certainly changed the dynamic of the game with his large wagers, but actually that kind of strategy was already done before by another player named Alex Jacob.

James run on Jeopardy reminds me of a quote by Ryan Hayashi. "If you have a dream, never give up. Believing your dream, Living your dream, and doing something every day to make that dream comes true. But remember one thing. No matter who you are. No matter how hard you work. Or how good you think you are at what you do, there will always be an Asian who takes it to the next level."
