James Holzhauer won again on “Jeopardy!” Monday and Tuesday night, scoring his 28th and 29th straight win, and moving well past the $2 million mark in total earnings.
He is now within $300,000 of the record set by “Jeopardy!” champ Ken Jennings more than 10 years ago.
“I’m really excited,” Jennings said this week on “Good Morning America” in his first TV interview about Holzhauer.

For the most part they’ve been very supportive of each other, and have yet to take any shots at one another.
Until now.
Holzhauer tweeted:

The gloves are officially off. They both don’t even follow each other, so there’s that too.
These two have definitely made Jeopardy! Great Again!!
