Anybody been watching Jeopardy!?

[Dawn Palka]

The current champion reminds me of Eclipse: James Holhauser first, the rest nowhere.

That is one calm and confident guy, Dawn.

He cut it close the other day, winning by only 18 dollars.

I like his strategy. He goes for the bigger questions first, constantly. He gets a 2-3 thousand dollar lead, and he intimidates the rest.

You know, it's obvious what he's doing. He's buzzing in first, because he is sure he knows, and if he doesn't, oh well, he's still got the big lead.

He would be what people in horse racing call a legit front-end speed horse. He plays Catch Me If You Can.

He'll fall eventually. They all do.

But it's been fun watching him do this.

I’m from Vegas. I believe the whole town is watching him every night. There’s stories about him on the local news nightly.

[Nick Gilmore]

We’re even getting daily updates here in Toronto! Cool dude!

I think he was on Good Morning America this morning. I'm pretty sure the show's ratings are up considerably. Although I am starting to feel sorry for the cannon fod--er, players that have to face him. That's like trying to win a guitar playing contest against Eric Claption.

Very true, Dawn. He's so ... calm. Then I just heard he was a professional gambler in Las Vegas?

I thought, no wonder he's so calm.

[Dawn Palka]

Yes he is.
