James Holzhauer hosting ‘Jeopardy!’ watch party for Las Vegas charity

Updated December 19, 2019 - 12:50 pm

You could watch James Holzhauer compete on “Jeopardy! The Greatest of All Time.” Or you could watch the ABC special with James Holzhauer.

The “Jeopardy!” sensation and his wife, Melissa, will host a watch party Jan. 8 at The Space, 3460 Cavaretta Court.

Following the 8 p.m. screening, Holzhauer will be interviewed as part of a question-and-answer session with Mark Shunock.

Tickets are $75 for general admission and $100 for a VIP admission that includes a photo with Holzhauer. Proceeds benefit the local nonprofit Project 150, which helps disadvantaged high school students with food, clothing, school supplies, college scholarships and other needs.

“Jeopardy! The Greatest of All Time,” hosted by Alex Trebek, will pit Holzhauer against Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter, the only contestants who’ve won more money on the game show. In a series of hourlong specials, the first contestant to win three matches will take home the $1 million grand prize. The two runners-up each will receive $250,000. The matches will air Jan. 7-9, with additional contests Jan. 10 and Jan. 14-16 if necessary.

For tickets to the watch party and more information, see thespacelv.com.
