Jeopardy! Champ James Holzhauer Finally Loses; Blames Drake

James Holzhauer rewrote the rules on how you play Jeopardy! during his 32 game run, which netted him $2.46 million.

He will lose during this evening's episode, just $56,485 short of Ken Jennings' all-time winnings record -- which took Jennings 74 games to achieve in 2004.

Holzhauer, a professional gambler, was quick on the buzzer and excelled at finding and maxing out Daily Doubles. 

After news of his impeding loss hit the Internet, Holzhauer jokingly blamed it on Drake.

Knew I shouldn’t have invited @Drake to the @Jeopardy taping.

Overall, it was a big weekend for the Drake curse. The Raptors lost at home, after many antics from Drizzy, and former heavyweight champ Anthony Joshua was TKOed by fat late fill-in Andy Ruiz Jr. after claiming he would be the one to finally break the Drake curse.
