James Holzhauer Jokingly Blames Drake For Loss On Jeopardy!

Despite his loss, “Jeopardy!” superchamp James Holzhauer took it in stride and jokingly blamed Drake.

“Knew I shouldn’t have invited @Drake to the @Jeopardy taping,” the professional sports gambler tweeted.

Holzhauer is the fourth highest-earning American game show contestant of all time and is best known for his 32-game winning streak as champion on the quiz show “Jeopardy!”

Holzhauer finally lost to University of Chicago librarian Emma Boettcher and fell just short of the “Jeopardy!” total prize-money record in an episode that aired Monday night.

Holzhauer was apparently referencing the infamous Drake curse that says that whatever team the rapper roots for typically loses.

Holzhauer said he doesn’t feel bad for losing, telling The New York Times, “I’m very proud of how I did, and I really exceeded my own expectations for the show.”
