Throughout Jeopardy! The Greatest of All Time, the one constant away from the show we had was James Holzhauer, Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter talking trash to each other — in a good-natured way with much respect — on social media.
On the night that Jeopardy GOAT ended with Jennings claiming victory we got one more round of trash talk and some congratulations for the newly-minted GOAT.
Let’s start with Holzhauer, who did some of his best trash talking on the air. He did some trash talk to himself, changing his Twitter avatar to a picture of Iago, the bird from Aladdin, but also his namsake was the answer to the Final Jeopardy Holzhauer missed in Game 2 on Tuesday night: “He has 272 speeches, the most of any non-title character in a Shakespeare tragedy.”
He started out with some memes:

He even kept telling fans who the real GOAT was:
On to Jennings, who was humble in victory:
Rutter totally got Holzhauer back and congratulated Jennings:
We’ll miss these guys being on television together.
