During this incredible 2 month winning streak, Jeopardy has enjoyed a spike in TV Ratings that the show hasn’t had in more than 10 years.
We won’t have total viewer numbers until later this month, but based on early data, it wouldn’t shock me if 15 million viewers+ watched @James_Holzhauer end his run on @Jeopardy. Ratings rundown, up now at @vulture: https://t.co/sASnAgmOrr

My wife and I were watching and my 6 year-old is now into the show! I was racing home from work to see Jeopardy air at 7:30pm. It wasn’t on demand, a digital stream or something anybody could see on Netflix, it was appointment viewing and today that’s rare.
Jeopardy record holder, Ken Jennings clearly enjoyed watching it all unfold. His record winnings of $2.52 million during 74 games in 2004 still stands tall today.

We have a new champion! Congratulations, Emma Boettcher!
