Leaked footage shows that James Holzhauer's historic run as Jeoparady champion will likely come to an end on Monday's episode, which will have marked Holzhauer's 33rd consecutive show. He loses to contestant Emma Boettcher in Final Jeopardy after both coming up with the right answer: "Who is Kit Marlowe?"
Holzhauser's usual strategy - pushing all in on wagers that allow for large bets - didn't appear to be in play. He wagered just $1,399 on the Final Jeopardy question about the 16th Century playwright. Boettcher had to make a decisive move to dethrone the champion, which she did, wagering over $20,000 on Final Jeopardy. She won a total of $46,801 for the episode.
In the clip, host Alex Trebek and the audience are both heard gasping.
Trebek says: “Oh gosh! What a payday. What a game! Oh my gosh!”
