James Holzhauer chases 'Jeopardy!' history

James Holzhauer just won his 19th "Jeopardy!" game. With this win, he's now tied for the third-longest winning streak in the game's history.

This was tonight's final clue: "Founded, according, to tradition in 11 BC, this former capital lies about halfway between Paris and Berlin."

Holzhauer was the only one of the three to get the correct answer — Bonn — but Libby Wood came up with a good joke.

"What is congrats to James," she wrote.

Holzhauer wagered $40,000 and ended up with a daily total of $96,726. His 19-day total is $1,426,330.

Ken Jennings holds the record of the longest streak, which lasted 74 games in 2004, according to the show's Hall of Fame. Second place goes to Julia Collins in 2014. David Madden won 19 games in 2005.
