James Holzhauer is setting one record after another as a contestant on "Jeopardy!" by taking risks even the greatest player in the game's history admits would be too much for him.
In only 10 episodes, the professional gambler has the four single-highest totals in the show's history and has racked up $697,787 through Wednesday's episode.
The show's been on for 55 years and over 10,000 episodes. You're going to see statistical anomalies. It would be weird if we didn't see huge gambles pay off once in a while. He's only in all-time 2nd-place by a slim margin and he's not even close to Jennings.
