Who watches Jeopardy?

[David Lockmiller]

In tonight's Jeopardy, no one (including the continuing reigning champion, James Holzhauer) came up with an answer in the category "Spanish Civil War" as to what 19th Century President had a military unit named after him (or, a question phrased quite similarly).

The correct answer was the Lincoln Brigade.

For those not watching tonight, James Holzhauer won once again but the outcome was very close. The two men on the panel both came up with the correct answer to the final Jeopardy question and both men bet almost their maximum winnings to that point. But James Holzhauer bet enough of his total winnings to that point that it did not matter that the other contestant bet one dollar short of his cumulative winnings to that point.

Afterwards, James Holzhauer acknowledged by gesture to his fellow contestant a game well-played.

Congratulations to both gentlemen, and especially to James Holzhauer for his humility.
