In the end, James Holzhauer, aka"Jeopardy James," came up just short of becoming the trivia game show's all-time earnings champ.
In his first interview since ending his run on"Jeopardy!", Holzhauer tells Las Vegas CBS affiliate KLAS-TV that he was strategic about his play. "In poker tournaments there's really a big advantage to accumulating a big stack of chips early on: you can make plays that no one else can," Holzhauer says in the interview, before adding:"Really, I thought accumulating the dollars quickly was a key part of the plan."
Many a former"Jeopardy!" contestant has claimed that mastering the timing of when to buzz in on a question is one of the more complicated aspects of competing on the show. With that in mind, Holzahauer says in the interview, he always made sure to hold the buzzer in one hand while using his free hand to hold the buzzing hand's wrist in an effort"to try to keep everything steady.
