That's your contribution to an intelligent discussion? A vague, unspecified criticism, accompanied by an implicitly self-aggrandizing bit of arrogant dismissiveness?
For those who don't pay attention to Jeopardy, James Holzhauer has got to be one of the most knowledgeable people alive, and has broken all records on the show.
It would be interesting see him go up against Watson. I wanna see him, Ken Jennings and Watson on a show before Alex has to go.
On tonight's new aired episode, in which he answered the question correctly, the answer was my flair.
Once a man was traveling through the west on vacation, when he saw a sign that said, "Meet the Indian Who Never Forgets, Next Exit". Well, being curious, the man stops at the attraction to see the Indian. He asks the man, "What did you have for breakfast on June 9, 1978?" The Indian replies "Eggs!"
Well, everyone has eggs for breakfast, this guy is a charlatan, the man thinks.
The man tells his friend about the experience, and his friend replies "That's disrespectful, you should greet an indian in their native language. Next time instead of "Hi" say "How".
10 years later, the same man is on vacation again, and sees the sign for the Indian again. He thinks what the heck, I'll stop in and see him.
Remembering his friend's advice, when the man approaches the Indian, he holds up his hand and says, "How!"
It’s not that he knows everything under the sun, it’s that he used data from previous shows to figure out which categories were most likely to be up there, and familiarized himself with those. Still impressive, but in more of a “sports gambling” way and less of a “Sherlock Holmes” way.
He also is going to reach the record in 1/2 the time bc he actually goes all in on daily doubles, hunts for them, and prefers to go after the most valuable ones.
Most contestants who go on have a a great memory. But it's also the mechanics of beating the buzzer fast enough.
He's very knowledgeable but he said his method is reading material for kids and young adults right? So he just has a massively wide knowledge base that's kinda shallow but he's really good with the Jeopardy! clues and deducing things
Basically he has become a white boomer dad years and years ahead of biological schedule

James is an absolute fucking baller.

He does it with such calm, cool grace. The combination of that and the encyclopedic knowledge is impressive.

Man I’d sacrifice a baby for an eidetic memory. I can’t even remember what I did yesterday.

He's never leaving the show lol. I thought the producers learned their lesson on having the "max 5 days" rule after Ken Jennings.
