"Haha! What is Philadelphia?" "No need to rub it in!"

“It’s getting to be that kind of competition Isn’t it.”

Imagine the three of them on a trivia team at your local bar

@@Seethi_C That's kind of how James really got his start -- he would be on teams which couldn't keep up so he decided to fly solo.

If trivia ever become an Olympic sport, there 3 should be part of Team USA 🇺🇸.

nice seeing a former champ here

Oh, there was a doubt...it was NOT a slam dunk.

@@secondstring To you and ONLY you!

@@dibber43 - No Chris, to those who are intelligent and understand that the tournament was incredibly closely matched, to those that understand the game of Jeopardy. You would not understand.

@@secondstring Then...you woke up. Just as stupid and common senseless as before.

@@dibber43 - You really don't get it, do you? Here's a little help: Overall Metrics for GOAT Tournament: 1) Total correct responses - James-188 / Ken-179 Advantage - James-5% 2) Coryat Score - James-141,800 / Ken-146,000 Advantage - Ken-2% 3) Correct response % - Both 93% Tie 4) Daily Doubles - James 5/6 Ken 7/8 5) Final Jeopardy responses - Both 6/8 Does any of this help you? The truth is, these two are both incredibly talented and remarkably evenly matched, and this was proven by these results. Not surprising based on their performance prior to this match. Any of the four matches, including the one that James won, could have been won by the other contestant dependent on how the Daily Doubles fell. Ken not only got more of the Daily Doubles, but he got them at more opportune times in the match with more points/dollars to put on the line to sway the matches. It did NOT help that Rutter hit a disproportionate number of the DD's and took them off the board. That was the deciding factor. Ken admitted this himself in post-interviews. If the two of them played 20 matches, they very likely would come close to splitting them. I have never said that Jennings is not a worthy champion. I am a fan of his, and believe him to be a worthy victor. But these results and metrics PROVE that he and James are absolutely neck-and-neck, and anyone who says that Ken was "dominant" or "in another league" or, as in your case "never EVER a doubt" doesn't know what they're talking about.

He had a heckuva 19-year run, so this was definitely a surprise to me.

I mean, if he had to lose to anyone, 's gotta be James and/or Ken

@@khaitranngoc4176 Yes, no shame in losing to those two legends.

Well, Ken Jennings isn't your "average" human, ya know!!!😏 He's The GOAT!!!

"Hey, Brad's score is still on there."

Brad won the most money. Love them all!

James is exciting but not humourous like KEN and Brad.So happy Ken won.I cannot tell what happened to Brad because i was betting on him

No he he hasn't. James just happened to benefit from the age of social media, but Ken is the embodiment of Jeopardy. When people think of Jeopardy they think of both Alex Trebek and Ken. He's a household name.

Brad won the most money. James won the most money in ONE game and a bunch of other records. But Ken won the most games, and most games in a row in Jeopardy history!!! To me, that's the ultimate achievement in Jeopardy history!!! Ken Jennings IS THE GOAT!!!

You should have seen the comments on the NYTimes site when James was bulldozing everyone on regular "J!" (preferred shorthand by the J! folks). There were a *lot* of people whinging because he wasn't playing the "right way" (to the point of "ruining" the game) by demanding one start at $100|$200 and progress downward, even to the point of demanding J! officially making it a rule. There were a lot of people timeshifting it but not watching it except to to the end to (hopefully) see him having lost that day. Aside from James throwing his final game (likely from boredom), he could have easily beaten Ken's streak and [just via regular J!]. Brad's total winnings. 1) Will James become the third captain for Team J!? 2) XFinity's schedule grid recently showed only games for T-W-R last week and T-W for this week, whereas it now shows T-W-R-F. The original schedule would have made is possible to know that Ken couldn't win tonight and if Brad were to win tonight, James couldn't win GOAT (but Ken would tomorrow). Now? Either they're trying to throw everyone off by saying there WILL be seven matches/nights (meaning Brad will win at least 2) or they're showing extra nights to throw us off and will air something else on the nights now indicating GOAT on ABC. 3) Thankfully, it's prime-time only so people can't go to TheJeopardyFan.com and FikkleFame.com to look up the J! (first round), both of the Double J!, and Final J! answers from 3:30pm airings -- as though they knew the answers when they watch it with others. 4) James, Ken, and Brad are not infallible (collectively); e.g. they didn't even ring in on "Good Day, Sir!" (the final portion of Willy Wonka's speech telling Charlie he doesn't win the big prize).

It's hard for me to understand that in the year 2020, Yahoo couldn't come up with 3 little wireless mikes to pin on these guys. I mean, come on, who uses these big bulky hand-held mikes anymore??

@@frankcarlone5130. Yahoo's a liberal company and most liberals are gay. Holding big bulky microphones are like holding dicks to them.

@@frankcarlone5130 Hope you can still enjoy your weekend despite this very disturbing incident.

@@brandonsavitski "Savitski"- Polish for product of incest.

The star on Super Jeopardy was Frank Spangenberg who had the 5-day winnings record then. He got eliminated in the first round.

And on the same network, I might add. The only difference is that it was an hour-long, there was no Saturday evenings for the show to be played in, there was no extra lectern for another pro player (unless if you wanted to include another version of IBM Watson), there are two games per match, and you had to win three matches to win the entire tournament. What did stay the same was no dollars but points- except for the DJ! round, where J! round values are just doubled, and not multiples of 2.5. So yeah, there were a few similarities to Super Jeopardy! back in 1990, but just doesn't play into today's Jeopardy! Greatest of All Time Tournament.

Some mics are unidirectional and some aren't

Brian Grosz you were right.

Brad is from Pennsylvania, Ken is from Salt Lake City, and James is from Illinois. Got any more information you'd like to share?

Abcde Brad was born in Lancaster, Ken went to BYU which is near Salt Lake City. James was born in Naperville. It depends on how you define where someone is from. Abcde LOL (jk)

@@sethbryant5539 That was good information to share. But I already said that.

James was born in Naperville Illinois and Brad was born in Lancaster Pennsylvania

Leslie Jenkins I said that

Brad is Bill Russell

James and Ken are Magic and Bird. Brad is Jordan.

@@dibber43 You should have heard Brad Rutter squeal when Sony made Ken the Jeopardy host.

Ken’s leg is at an angle. Brad’s is completely horizontal. So they aren’t the same.

Sweet Lil Devil - I agree!!

Denese Dugay i suppose u didnt like arthur chu either🙄.

It's always made more sense to start with the higher value clues since typically this means more $ is in play when the DD is uncovered I wondered why more players didn't use this method

@@PabloGonzalez-hv3td Arthur Chu The clues become less straightforward as you move down the board. It was simply conventional wisdom that you used the easier clues to prime your brain for the tougher, big money questions. Even Brad and Ken subscribed to this notion.

@@segasys1339 It's extra risk for sure but it comes down to confidence in the category. If I'm answering 2K clues at home surely it's easier for real players to adopt

I quite frankly have never been a fan of James either.

He needs to practice giving the correct answer to the daily doubles and final Jeopardy. That's what cost him.

@@jasonrepa you're right! Study Brad study!!!!!

Wasn't just the buzzer. He missed more questions than anybody even though he answered fewer. Totally shit the bed.

EricSmyth14 That’s how Jeopardy! works

Total non-factor...not even close.

Yea...Ken played better!!! 71 STRAIGHT GAMES!!!

I meant his style: the aggressive wagering and going for the higher value clues first. Plus, he won 74 games

@@sethbryant5539 71, 74...you get the point.

I listened once you mention it... Alan Alda maybe? A cross between Alan Alda and David Letterman?

Alan Alda in his M*A*S*H years.

Cheryl Campbell I like Alda's voice a lot but Brad sounds like a sports commentator or something

@FavianTube Bob Costas? Lol! I like guessing 😁 plus hat's the only sportscaster i know.

Captain Obvious from the Hotels internet site?

davidhunternyc the Epstein face was disquieting, to say the least.

Ken years old...

Same name, but different guys.

Hahaha!

Ken said he concentrated on Alex's cadence and it paid off because he's first on the buzzer often. I rooted for Ken and Brad to continue their streaks.

@@linda1lee2 So it's just a buzzer issue?

@Sharon 92075 At their level it's all about the buzzer. Each one of them pretty much knows the answer to all the clues so it's just a matter of who buzzes in first. That plus the Daily Doubles have proven to be huge. James always bets big on them so the other two have started to do the same in order to protect themselves against James' big bets

@@BB--13118 So who do you think is the best? Who do you want to win?

@@sharonsolana At this point, having won 2 games, Ken is the obvious favorite to win. In my opinion, even if he doesn't, I believe he's the best. I love James' style but, to win 74 games in a row in incredible. One thing to remember is that since his streak, no one has come within 50 games. It shows not only a mastery of the buzzer but an incredible range of knowledge. Having lost to Brad on a few occasions and seeing James get all the recent publicity, I think he came into this match determined to prove he"s the best.

@@sethbryant5539 no, I know it's public domain, I'm more just surprised that they would write a song that was so close to we three kings. Of all the melodies to utilize lol. Just took me by surprise.

I don’t think Ken leaked anything, people have been joking about James being Watson since his first day on Jeopardy.

🙄

James vs. Watson would be a hell of a match.

Turns out he didn't

Diane Joyner James lost to Ken, and Ken lost to Watson. It would be intriguing, but there’s probably no human able to beat Watson, especially now and not in 2011

Nobody cares about James. He never was and never will be. Brad and Ken are good friends and would never invite Holzhauer to anything they attend together.
