The Jeopardy! Giant Killers

The Giant Killers are sorted by how many games they won in this list and the link goes to the game they lost. I’m sure everyone who’s keen on statistics knows who is heading the list: the only player so far to become a superchamp after defeating a superchamp so far. We have to say so far because records are meant to be broken. It’s entirely possible that even Ken Jennings’ long-standing record will be smashed one day. James Holzhauer came ‘thisclose’ to beating the amount of money Ken won.
