'Jeopardy!' fans in uproar after news reports spoil next episode: 'I never knew I would be so angry'
Some high-profile newspapers were just too excited about Monday’s episode of Jeopardy! to keep it to themselves. Both the Washington Post and the New York Times reported on what happened during the episode when long-running champion James Holzhauer found himself on the brink of breaking yet another record on the Alex Trebek-hosted game show.
Holzhauer needed $58,485 more to break the record $2.5 million that Ken Jennings, the most successful contestant in Jeopardy! history, won over 74 games in 2004. Did he get it? We’re not going to tell you here, but the national newspapers chose to do so, noting that the syndicated game show airs in the morning in some cities.
