‘Jeopardy! Greatest of All Time': Here’s Where the 3 Competitors Stand
James Holzhauer won Wednesday night’s second round of ABC’s “Jeopardy! Greatest of All Time,” the multi-night event that pits him against Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter to settle once and for all which “Jeopardy!” champion is truly the greatest.
If he wins the next two games in a row, Holzhauer will take the title. Jennings won the opening round on Tuesday.
As the competition goes on, TheWrap will update each night’s winners and how many games away they are from winning. The tournament is set to air Tuesday through Friday until one competitor wins three games, and could go on through Jan. 16.

Last season’s big winner and reigning “Tournament of Champions” champ James Holzhauer comes off of a 32-game winning streak, during which he set the all-time record for highest single-game earning in regular-season play with $131,127 set on April 17, 2019. He faces Ken Jennings, who continues to hold the all-time highest-earnings record for regular-season play with $2,520,700, and Brad Rutter, who has never lost a game of “Jeopardy!” — at least, not to a human opponent — and holds the all-time winnings record for season and tournament play combined, with $4,688,436.
