The Jeopardy GOAT (Greatest of All Time) tournament starts tomorrow night, featuring past mega-winners Ken Jennings, James Holzhauer, and Brad Rutter squaring off against each other. The first to win 3 games wins a million dollars.
Anybody plan to watch?

I will.....but does anybody know who the "third guy" is? Obviously just a casual fan of the show, I know who Ken Jennings is, and of course, James Holzhauer, but have absolutely no clue who the other guy is. Can I assume he's also one of the show's most successful champions? And, are these three the MOST successful champions that the show has ever had? SAVE FERRIS

SAVE FERRIS Luckily there's a Wiki page on the GOAT show, and this section gives a quick rundown of who the 3 men are and how they ended up in the GOAT tournament:

I will.
If the format is anything like the team tournament they had, I'll be fast-forwarding thru all that. Since each episode is an hour long...I'm thinking it will be.

I will, although I don't watch Jeopardy with the same devotion and dedication that I used to. For the last 3-4 years I've only watched a couple of nights a week, on average. For years, it was a daily "must."

I plan to watch it, but probably not live. I'm pretty sure I'll be watching a recording.

That was fun.
Ken's still got it. I'm only gonna' click that spoiler after I've watched the show (it's not on yet, my time).

That Brad guy was the highest earning contestant? He seemed like a total idiot.

That was fun to watch. Thanks for the reminder that this tournament was coming up.

Ken's still got it. Definitely. But to be fair, Holzhauer did well, too (he didn't get to avail himself of the Daily Doubles like the other two did... had he managed to pick a few DDs, tonight's outcome might've been different). Brad... poor guy had a rough night.

I did watch it earlier tonight. I was impressed by their skill in the rhyming puzzles category. I was hopeless in that category.
