On Tuesday evening, our whimsical returning Jeopardy! champion, Emma Boettcher, picked up another decisive win after whipping James Holzhauer into shape the day prior. She cashed in $24,600 to her grand total, but what we’re currently fixated on isn’t her robust knowledge of parasitic plants or Germany-adjacent countries: It’s the telling uh-huh, sure look she gave Alex Trebek when he likened her very common Daily Double strategy — betting all the money she had, also known as “a true†Daily Double — to Holzhauer. “Oh, okay, influenced by James, are we?†Trebek said, getting a very GIF-able response in return. “All right!†She got the clue correct, obviously.
