Jeopardy contestant James Holzhauer may be making the game show's accountants tremble as he continues to set records.
div > div.group > p:first-child"> Holzhauer, who has been setting records over the past 12 episodes, set a single-show record of $131,127 in winnings, according to a report from The Atlantic. So far, he's won around $850,000, and is on track to reaching $2.5 million — the past record set by Ken Jennings — in half the time. Jennings scored his prize after 74 consecutive wins, and his best one-day tally was $75,000.
"Typically, for a long-running show the prize budget is determined by way of averages of what has been won in the past," Bob Boden, a former head of programming at Game Show Network, told The Atlantic."James's performance, I'm sure, is causing grief for an accountant somewhere."
