Today's Jeopardy - SPOILERS WARNING!

The champion had a runaway game. I don't understand why he wagered such a large amount in Final Jeopardy. He would've won big if he had wagered nothing. Instead he bet almost all of it and was wrong. He still won, but with around $26,000 less. He was very foolish, in my opinion.

I guess it's just us "old-timers" that know about The Smothers Brothers. I even remember the theme song to their short-lived sitcom.

"There are miracles to start, but they always fall apart on the Smothers Brothers show!"

As we've seen, some people seem to make big mistakes regarding How-much-to-bet.

The only thing I could think of is that he was Pulling a Holzhauer

However when you go big like James Holzhauer .. you need to get it right🎯

🚨 Spoiler Alert 🚨

I'll have to admit these are much easier once you've seen the correct response 2 or 3 times

Ken Jennings sounds so smart I'd like to see what he would do without the "answers"

Obviously just kidding about Ken. Not only was he a great player but he's been the perfect replacement for Alex Trebek.
