'Jeopardy!': Sports Fans Shocked When Contestants Can't Name Insanely Famous Athlete

[Luanne]

I love Matt and want to see him run an entire board just once.

I also love the way the Jeopardy big guys tweet to each other, and wouldn't at all describe Matt's Twitter interaction with them to be what the headline in the previous post says. Doesn't "go off on" usually mean a negative rant?

My daughter and I watch Jeopardy together. Somewhat early in Matt's run she really wanted to see him defeated. Now she's liking him a lot more. I think he's amazing. But can you imagine waiting almost your whole life to get on Jeopardy and then find out you have to go up against him?

Mayim Bialik Wants the ‘Jeopardy!’ Job. Is She ‘Neutral’ Enough?

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/11/arts/television/mayim-bialik-jeopardy.html

But Bialik — a popular sitcom actor who blogged when blogging was popular, vlogged when vlogging was popular, and now has her own podcast — has long drawn attention, and controversy, with copious public statements of her own. Nearly a decade ago she wrote in a book of making an “informed decision not to vaccinate our children,” prompting her to clarify last year that they would get vaccinated against the coronavirus. She blogged about donating money to buy bulletproof vests for the Israel Defense Forces. She endorsed a “brain health supplement” earlier this year for a company that agreed to settle a class-action lawsuit accusing it of false advertising.

Goodbye Matt

 

[SueDonJ]

We had the Sox/Rays game on (GO SOX, 5-0 in the 4th!!) but turned to watch Final Jeopardy. I'm really sad he's done but I hope he moves on to do what he said he wants to do, just make people feel good.

Jeopardy comment board. Most sure he didn’t want to play anymore. Hey wouldn’t you get tired of earning thousands for a half hour of work
They said the same about ken and James

 

[Passepartout]

The nature of Jeopardy! Is that there is ALWAYS a time, and set of clues that benefit one (or more) players more than the current champ. I was surprised tonight when both challengers whupped Matt, and not by just $1. We will see him again.

 

[JudyH]

I can’t believe he got that question wrong. Even I knew the correct response.

 

[MdRef]

Glad to see his run end. You knew who was going to win after the first round and even sometimes at the first commercial break.

Until this game, Matt faced only a few legitimate challengers. Actually being challenged seem to throw him off his game just a bit, along with not finding that first Daily Double and doubling his winning as he always did. Jonathan surprised me and being 2 out of 3 on the Daily Doubles, along with knowing the final jeopardy clue, put the final nail in the coffin. Seeing that Jessica would have won if not Jonathan, also was a shock, like Matt being in 3rd place and not knowing the answer.

Matt did say at one point he just wanted to win a million dollars more than Ken. Not this time Matt.

 

[beejaybeeohio]

There is no way he couldn't have known the answer to final Jeopardy! Poland, really? Danube and Alps were dead giveaways to Austria.
I understand being off his game during the board rounds, and having the bad luck to not uncover the Daily Doubles, but come on....

 

[JudyH]

I guess he never took a riverboat cruise with his parents.

This was kind of non-news. Amy's streak is being interrupted for a special tournament of college professors. This has happened in the past.

A question I have always wondered about - In that the show is filmed in California do the Contestants owe California Income Tax? Then if they are Residents of another State do they owe income Tax in that State? This is of course in addition to any Federal Income Taxes.

Uncle Sam will get his cut in more ways then one.

The IRS also won big. All winnings on game shows are considered ordinary income, taxed up to 37% by the IRS. And most states have state income tax, too. Even though Holzhauer is a resident of Nevada, the game show took place in California, which means he must pay taxes in that state, sports and betting website The Action Network reported. Combined, federal and California state taxes will put Holzhauer’s net winnings at $1.29 million — a 47.6 percent cut, the site said.

'Jeopardy James' will likely have to pay $1.2M in taxes

Even though Holzhauer is a resident of Nevada, the game show took place in California, which means he must pay taxes in that state, leaving him with just $1.29 million.
