BRITISH MONARCHS: A “VI” has followed these 3 royal names of English kings show

Like last week, these FJs weren’t terribly difficult. Thursday’s and Friday’s were voted the most challenging to get in 30 seconds, with the comic book one taking top honors. Not everybody has what my father used to called “A funny book education.” (That’s a joke, okay?) Likewise, the VI kings was a matter of making 3 connections within the time limit and that was bound to trip someone up. The easiest was a toss-up between the clues on Monday and Tuesday.

James Holzhauer returned on Monday as a 7-day champ with a record winning $415,035. This week he more than doubled that, wrapping the week up with 12 games to his credit and $851,926 in winnings, just $148,074 shy of a cool million. Check out James Holzhauer’s Jeopardy Statistics for a quick look at his FJ and DD bets in all his games.

James’ record-breaking $131,127 has been added to the Top 15 Daily Payouts of Season 35. As noted before, that list only reflects a contestant’s highest payout, otherwise James would be dominating that list.
