Once I really decided to take this seriously, I wasn&#8217;t going to half-ass it. It didn&#8217;t matter if I won, but if I went home knowing it was the absolute best I was capable of, that&#8217;s all I really cared about.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Check your local listings for <em>Jeopardy!<\/em> air times.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eonline.com\/news\/1046419\/does-a-jeopardy-leak-reveal-james-holzhauer-s-record-breaking-fate?cmpid=rss-000000-rssfeed-365-topstories&#038;utm_source=eonline&#038;utm_medium=rssfeeds&#038;utm_campaign=rss_topstories\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: E!
