‘Jeopardy!’ ‘villain’ James Holzhauer will use his powers for good
Self-described “game show villain” James Holzhauer will be using his powers for good.
The Las Vegan, who burst onto the scene by flummoxing “Jeopardy!” fans during his 32-game winning streak in 2019, will be among the game show greats competing for charity during “Titan Throwdown 2.”
The live event, part of the sold-out “Game Show Boot Camp 2,” will feature Holzhauer taking part in a trivia challenge alongside fellow “Jeopardy!” alums, including Matt Amodio, Sam Buttrey, Sam Kavanaugh, Mattea Roach, Brad Rutter, Amy Schneider and Jason Zuffranieri.
Proceeds from the night will benefit Project 150, a local nonprofit that provides basic necessities to homeless, displaced and disadvantaged high school students. As Holzhauer’s charity of choice, Project 150 received a $100,000 donation from the show as part of his prize for winning “Jeopardy! Masters” in May.
“Titan Throwdown 2” is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Aug. 5 at The Hampton Inn Tropicana, 4975 Dean Martin Drive.
Tickets are $100 and include a meet-and-greet and autograph session. To purchase, go to e.givesmart.com/events/x1j/ or text Titan23 to 76278.
