‘Jeopardy!’ winner James Holzhauer trolls Ken Jennings: ‘Stop ducking a rematch’
Final Jeopardy!” segment, Holzhauer was in the lead and the clue read: “Opened in 1909 & less famous than an older neighbor, it connects Brooklyn & Chinatown.”Once the first two contestants scribed their responses, Jennings stated that Holzhauer had already begun to write down his answer while the former was still reading the hint.“What bridge did he think of?” Jennings wondered.Holzhauer didn’t write down his reply to the question, however, he did pen the statement: “Stop ducking a rematch, Ken.”The trivia show emcee couldn’t help but burst into laughter and shot back: “You know how much work I had to go to to get all the way over here at this lectern and avoid having to play you again, James?”Holzhauer then referenced the “ducking” bit of his remark, noting: “This is autocorrected, by the way.”Holzhauer and the Washington native are both big champs of the long-running game show, having gone head-to-head in the ABC series’ “Jeopardy! The Greatest of All Time” tournament back in January 2020. Jennings had emerged victorious by winning three games, with Holzhauer scoring one match.
