With Matt Amodio surpassing James Holzhauer’s 32 wins and setting off in pursuit of Ken Jennings’ 74 wins, I have decided to resurrect my statistical comparison toteboard; this is a continuation of my James Holzhauer vs Ken Jennings toteboard from 2019. As in 2019, links are also provided to help define any statistics that may not be readily familiar or intuitive to the casual viewer.
This page will be publicly updated daily between 8:00 and 9:00 PM Eastern. (If you are a member of the media wishing to see the comparison earlier in the day, you’re welcome to contact Andy privately.)
