Maybe with all his money he can hire someone to teach him how to smile naturally.

Some kind of head to head Jeopardy special with the 2 of them would be awesome. The breadth of knowledge is pretty unreal.

Might as well throw in Austin or Buzzy for the entertainment factor
In his first or second episode Alex chat

He said he favored the lightning to win the cup. I amost placed a bet. I'm glad I didn't. I guess he's fallible.

I am loving watching this guy crush it. Fun to watch.
Ken Jennings' bluster really wore off when he got smoked

He broke is own record from the day before. Guy is a freak.
The guy is incredible

He rarely misses a question and his strategy gets him out of reach of the other contestants. I do not think he has been touchable in final Jeopardy yet.

He does have the worst smile.

Only once have I seen him not in a runaway - pretty early on. But all that resulted in was him betting it all and getting over $50K that day.
It must suck

You get picked to go on the show, you're all excited, your family and friends are all pumped up for you, you fly out to LA, and you have to go up against him.

I wonder how far in advance they tape these, do the contestants on day 5 know what they're up against?

Generally a few months, so when new contestants are brought in, they wouldn't yet know from having seen him on tv.
That's what I figured

They had no idea what a buzzsaw they were running into.

Get your big chance and get kicked in the nuts!
A little background on this guy

Holzhauer went into Final Jeopardy with $72,600, with Rai in second place with $7,000. Holzhauer ran the numbers in his head. He could bet $58,599 without risk of losing the game, but it was important to him to do something for his 4-year-old daughter. He calculated how much he would need to wager to end up with an amount to match her birthday, Nov. 9, 2014. A successful bet of $38,314 would give him $110,914 or 11/09/14.

I was so disappointed that I completely bombed the online test about 6/9 months ago. Now I feel better. Slightly!
I don't think he can lose

Can he stay on the show forever until he loses?
