The Jeopardy! The Greatest of All Time event crowned Ken Jennings as its GOAT. Jennings defeated James Holzhauer and Brad Rutter in a battle that featured the three greatest human Jeopardy! champions. Judging by the scores, I’m not sure that Brad even showed up. Jennings won the $1M prize, while Holzhauer and Rutter received $250k each.

Besides their quick reflexes and ability to recall facts, these contestants displayed a refreshing cameraderie often absent on Jeopardy! Mostly, it’s because contestants do not have the opportunity to get acquainted. The three champions were playful, congratulatory, and congenial.

The contestants also have uncommon jobs. Holzhauer is a sports gambler, Jennings is programmer turned author, and Rutter is a career gameshow contestant. I didn’t realize that gameshow contestant was a viable career choice. The trio also displayed a lot of warmth toward Alex Trebek, who amazingly has been hosting the show since 1984. What a run. I hope he continues hosting for a long time.
