Is record-breaking Jeopardy! contestant James Holzhauer now making more per episode than host Alex Trebek?

“Jeopardy” contestant James Holzhauer may be making the game show’s accountants tremble, according to a media report.

Since the average single-show earnings come in around $20,000, the Atlantic looked into how much Holzhauer’s earnings would take out of the show’s budget. Oftentimes, shows take out insurance policies. Usually that’s reserved for shows with rare but high earnings, such as “Who Wants to be a Millionaire?” Boden said he doesn’t think “Jeopardy” has the same policy because it usually awards more modest winnings.

Can't wait until he's done / beaten. The show isn't fun or exciting to watch when he has basically won by the 1st commercial break

Love watching streaks like this. Keep going!!

honestly...I don't know if they will ever be able to stop the guy....he never gets an answer wrong. maybe Jeopardy will ask him if he wants to work for the show once he finally loses?

Probably the best ratings Jeopardy has gotten in a while.

GET RID OF THIS GUY! ENOUGH ALREADY!

You go dude!!
