Well Lynne, I can't say Jeopardy is the B.O.A.T., cause I haven't seen most of the others - but I have watched it for a very long time and have always enjoyed it.
As I'm sure many other viewers do - I call the answers out loud. I'm especially tickled when none of the contestants know the answer - but I do!!
ABC had a one hour special on about a week ago that covered the history of the show and included an interview with Alex about his personal life and his cancer. It was interesting and well presented.
At present, in addition to the regular one half hour show - ABC is running a separate special Jeopardy G.O.A. T. (Greatest Of All Time) Tournament. It features just three contestants. The are ones who hold separate all-time records. Here - thanks to Wikipedia are their qualifications:
Jennings holds the record for the longest winning streak on Jeopardy! with 74 wins and is the highest-earning contestant in regular-play (non-tournament) winnings, Rutter is the highest-earning contestant (including tournaments) on the show with a total over $4.6 million, and Holzhauer holds the top 16 single-game records for winnings. The three players have won a combined $10.7 million during their runs on the show.[1] The contestants compete in a series of matches and the first to win three is crowned the winner.
So - there it is: The first to win three matches gets the GOAT title And - One Million Dollars!!!
Next episode is next Tuesday.
