The competition was fast and furious for the first round in the 'Jeopardy!: The Greatest of All Time Tournament.'
aired on Tuesday night, and it lived up to fans' expectations with rapid-fire answers and a tight and close race.
Not a single missed answer occurred during the first segment of the game. That changed in the second round. While it was Brad Rutter who hit the show's first Daily Double, he could never quite catch up to Jennings or Holzhauer, and in the second round, lost everything by betting he could correctly identify the person addressed by Catherine the Great in a letter written to her lover—Prince Grigory Potemkin —and did not succeed.
Jennings, too, went all in on his Daily Double—and doubled his score with the answer"Lewis and Clark Clifford Odets" when asked to name"Louisiana Purchase Explorers, joined by LBJ's secretary of Defense and a 'Golden Boy' Dramatist." who shares the hero's last name—Morgan LeFay—but missed a clue related to Elvis Presley. Ultimately, Holzhauer ended the round in the lead with $15,000, Jennings following with $12,000 and Rutter trailing at $10,000.
