   Holzhauer shattered every single day's winning records and he and   
   Trebek engaged in delightful repartee over the course of his 32 wins.   
   He came in second in Jeopady's GOAT tournament, to Jennings. Rutter   
   was the 3rd contestant in GOAT, came in last among the 3, but I think   
   he might still hold the record for all time Jeopardy/game show   
   winnings.

   She went on the show when she was 20, in the grown up version, not the   
   college one, so she was one of their younger contestants. The whole   
   staff was delightful to her.  She had been a fan since infancy, as I   
   had her on my lap as I watched it daily & she loved the sounds and   
   lights, even at that tender age. Jeopardy theme was the first melody   
   she ever sang.

   I was happy yesterday after the election call, so I guess that was   
   something.
