We are one week into the run of the brand new Jeopardy! Masters tournament on ABC, which brings back many of the best and most popular players from the last couple of years. Hosted by Ken Jennings, the slate of contestants consists of Amy Schneider, Andrew He, Mattea Roach, Matt Amodio, Sam Buttrey and James Holzhauer. Whoever you may have a rooting interest for out of those six to win the whole thing, if you've been watching you have probably seen that Holzhauer has been dominating the show's run.
It's not just the leaderboard that we're talking about, either. Holzhauer, who was bold and brash with how he played the game during his memorable 32-game winning streak in 2019, is continuing that pattern in this tournament, but he's also doing something else — taking on the role of a "game show villain." That is a self-proclaimed title for Holzhauer and what he is officially being introduced as during each episode.
