“Jeopardy!” producers are threatening action against whoever leaked footage of James Holzhauer losing before it aired. They claim to know who did it, but aren’t naming names until they’re sure. They do plan on taking, quote, “very, very, very appropriate” action.
The funny thing is, it probably helped boost the show’s ratings. “Jeopardy!” was already beating out pretty much everything in primetime, with viewership averaging more than 13 million people per episode, but preliminary information suggests Monday’s episode was the highest-rated of James’ run! It was likely because everybody knew he was losing, and had to tune in to see how it was gonna go down.
