Leak? What leak? Jeopardy! viewers apparently were unfazed by spoiler video of 32-game champion James Holzhauer’s stunning loss as he attempted to break Ken Jennings’ all-time winnings record. Monday’s game was its highest-rated episode in 14 years in overnight ratings.
Citing Nielsen Media Research, CBS Television Distribution also said the show out-rated the night’s leading primetime broadcast, ABC’s The Bachlorette, by 153%.
The episode’s 10.1 rating among homes was the biggest of the season for Jeopardy! — also scoring highs adults 18-49 (2.2), adults 25-49 (3.0) and multiple women demos (1.7-3.3). The number for homes was the biggest since 2005. The distributor also said that the show ranked No. 1 in homes for 29 of Holzhauer’s 33 days.
Holzhauer, a professional gambler from Las Vegas, needed less than $59,000 to topple Jennings from the top of the all-time leaderboard. But he ended up losing to Chicago librarian Emma Boettcher after an uncharacteristically low wager in the Final Jeopardy round.
