It’s official! Ken Jennings is the greatest “Jeopardy!” contestant of all time. He won the third match in the “Greatest of All Time” tournament on Tuesday night, beating out James Holzhauer and Brad Rutter for the title.
The final match came down to Holzhauer and Jennings in a Final Jeopardy question. Holzhauer fumbled on his answer. The mistake cost him the tournament.
Trending stories,celebrity news and all the best of TODAY.
Holzhauer seemed to take the loss in stride, tweeting a Scooby Doo joke directed at Jennings after the episode aired.
“And I would have GOAT away with it too, if it weren’t for you meddling Kens,” he posted, with a picture of the character Fred holding Jennings’ photoshopped head.
Naturally, Holzhauer wasn’t the only one tweeting about the competition.
Ken Jennings is The Godfather: Brilliant and with occasional moments of humor to keep the audience engaged.
James Holzhauer is Part II: Arguably less “enjoyable” but brilliant for the way it shook up conventional structures.
Brad Rutter is Part III: Also a Godfather movie
