I doubt it. The J! archive would probably document it under the "Combined Coryat" section if they found such a game.
They did just have consecutive shows with "perfect" first rounds, though, so maybe we'll get there soon. Then again, they might also ruin it with at least one Final Jeopardy! stumper.
Tonight's game wasn't a perfect one either, besides the Jeopardy! round. James missed one clue in Double Jeopardy!; and Liz finished DJ! with a negative score, thus, she didn't participate in FJ!. Anyways he's now at $1.9 million, and I predict he's going to break the $2M mark tomorrow. |

And his win was only $72K in part because Liz snatched the first DD in DJ! on the first pick of the round.

Another more suspenseful game with a competitor, Nate, very close to James. Additionally, Nate wagered properly to win on a Triple Stumper. Too bad for him though, as James got it right and continues on. You know what? Something else though as a certain JBoard comment sums it up:
True words. Just for the math, Nate had $13,400 on a Daily Double but wagered only $6,000, and the Final Jeopardy! gap was only $5,400. James even bet it all on the only Daily Double that he found.
If Nate wagered more than $11,400, he would actually have had enough to be ahead of James in Final. |

And I say this because again to repeat, Alex mentioned during an interview that some of the games featuring James were taped after his cancer diagnosis; and he made the announcement on March 6 when they were taping next week's episodes. So I would imagine James should reach the $2M mark tomorrow and his streak continuing into June.

The first regular game shows taped after his cancer announcement will air on June 3rd. The Teen tournament that will air June 17-28 taped before his cancer announcement. The last shows of the season taped on April 6th, at which time only the first two Holzhauer shows had aired, so none of his record setting shows had aired yet.

The episodes to air June 3-7 I believe were taped on March 12, and I think he made the announcement after they were done taping next week shows. Correct me if I'm wrong. |

And since the first episodes after his diagnosis will air June 3-7, I would imagine James' run would at least continue with those episodes. I remember during that interview, Alex said that some of the episodes featuring James were taped after his diagnosis.

It feels like Jeopardy! is being discussed more than Wheel of Fortune on this Wheel of Fortune-centric site. Sad.  |

Honestly, I’m trying to stay away from the latter show right now because it ain’t worth it seeing loss after loss in the bonus round.

It feels like Jeopardy! is being discussed more than Wheel of Fortune on this Wheel of Fortune-centric site. Sad.  To be fair, this is a historic run for Jeopardy! - I imagine if BAV were in existence during the Jennings run, we'd be posting the crap out of it as well. And with the two shows often running together, it can still prove to be some level of a bump for Wheel. While I agree that we should see a higher level of discussion on Wheel, this is definitely a deserving topic. Without getting on the nostalgia soapbox (I had to delete a good chunk of this post twice), I'll just say that Jeopardy feels a bit more deserving of the hype of late than Wheel has over the last few seasons. |

Oh, don't get me wrong. Not saying we shouldn't be discussing it. Just noting the irony of it. Meanwhile, over on reddit.com/r/jeopardy, I tried to start a discussion about the theories of James' winnings affecting Wheel's budget, and I got shut down because apparently they don't allow any Wheel discussion there.  |

I wonder if James is more likely than Alex to be on the show on September 9th for the 36th season premiere which is scheduled to tape on July 23rd?

He's now at 28 wins with $2,195,557 accumulated. I have a feeling he will surpass Ken in terms of winnings, but I doubt he'll win 74 games. However, if his streak continues after the end of this season, he will have also surpassed Brad Rutter as Jeopardy's biggest money winner.
Anyways, I hope Alex will be there when tapings for Season 36 start.

He had a $130,022 win tonight, $1105 off his own one day record. He is now $325,144 away from being the biggest regular game winner. James has about as much of a chance of being on the September 9th season premiere as Alex does.
