James Holzhauer was on last night. He won, and will be back next week.

Blackjack is not the same game anymore. Recall means nothing. There are up to 8 decks now. So after the shuffle there are plenty of cards left in the shoe. Very hard to card count now and it's not fun. No jackpot like slots.

Never watched it and most likely never will.
Years back, in my 50's, I always thought of it as something "old folks" watched. Now, 30 years later I still can't find it on my list of things to watch. As with so many things, we all have our likes and dislikes.

You are correct, thee odds are in favor of the casino big time, unless you are just very lucky and have some smarts..

Ive been watching it for years. I loved it when James was on. I agree Camper6 , I think he blew it, he looked bored to me.

I liked Jeopardy when the original host, Art Fleming, was on. I don't like the current host's style, so I don't watch the show, that much. I do tune in if a champion is having an extended run.
Was reading the thread regarding scripted reality shows-doubt is a creeping thing.
Now I wondering with 'Jeopardy' running marathon 'semi-finalist' obviously to build the audience, not counting the 'finals.'
Hope not, but 'selling soap,' has nothing to do with morality.
(Plus Alex irritates me ever since he hurriedly shut- up a contestant attempting to tell a joke about the Donner Party.
Also, need to mention his 'hawking 'Last Need,' Insurance irritated me. He is just one of many celebs.
Money folks, money, if you have enough money you can purchase morality at the morality store:fifty % cash, 25% character,
25% decency.)

He was back on again yesterday and won, although he missed final question.
I sure hope it isn't him against Emma the librarian at the end.
Is the program hoping for that final setup?

The way I understand it James and Emma will face each other tonight and compete with a third finalist.

Art Fleming hasn't hosted Jeopardy in 40 years!
Bad timing here for TV coverage .. (we get Jeopardy shows in the morning), and regular daytime programming is sidelined this week with hearings from Washington. ... Drats!

No, not one of my favorite game shows. I enjoy Codycrossword - phone App...its challenging. Sometimes I have to get help from my BFF Google and other times I can get all the answers correct. With that game I feel I am so smart..LOL.
As we age, its good we keep the mind sharp. I also enjoy crossword puzzles.

CORRECTION: the person who wins tonight will face James & Emma tomorrow Thursday. Wow. No pressure!
@Bonnie
You might be ok. No hearings Thursday, but the finals end on Friday.
Thanks AC ... will see what happens today.
I see some Internet talk that the championship should have been played between James and Ken Jennings.
That would have been good.
