Tonight’s the night for Match #4 of the Jeopardy! Greatest of All Time! Here’s tonight’s game recap (for Tuesday, January 14, 2020):

Today’s contestants:

Brad Rutter, currently on 0 wins

Brad Rutter on Jeopardy! Greatest of All Time

Ken Jennings, currently on 2 wins

Ken Jennings on Jeopardy! Greatest of All Time

James Holzhauer, currently on 1 win

James Holzhauer on Jeopardy! Greatest of All Time

This is currently a placeholder post which will be updated with Final Jeopardy! information and a game recap once it is known.

Preview: Ken is one win away from taking this tournament going into this absolutely crucial Game #4. Ken is running slightly better than James right now, and Brad may have some confidence after finally getting a pair of Daily Doubles at the end of Game #3. This game will definitely come down to the Daily Doubles and Final Jeopardy; the player who does the best on those will likely have the upper hand. With Ken on 2 wins, you might see James and Brad gang up (one player possibly laying off the buzzer if the other has a better chance of prolonging the tournament).

Andy’s Thoughts:

  • Ken’s ability to dominate in his original play style in 2004 combined with his ability to best adapt to match the modern play style of James Holzhauer makes him very deserving of the title of Greatest of All Time. Congratulations to Ken on a well-deserved victory.
  • Kudos for Brad for staying out of the way in Game 2 to give James a chance to come back.
  • Kudos to James for his Game 2 comeback to make Final Jeopardy! matter.
  • Daily Double stats for the tournament: Ken 7/8 (+51,600), James 5/6 (+39,600), Brad 4/10 (-14,800).
  • Credit to Pam Mueller for digging up this interesting fact: Iago is a variant name of James.
