It’s happening.
The Jeopardy! rematch we’ve all been waiting for is finally happening: Las Vegas sports gambler James Holzhauer will once again get to face Emma Boettcher, the Chicago librarian who took down Holzhauer in the middle of a 32-game winning streak in which he changed the way the game show was played.
Boettcher won her semi-final game in the show’s Tournament of Champions on Monday and Holzhauer did the same on Tuesday. After Wednesday’s episode, we’ll know the third opponent who will take on the two of them.
As for the schedule the rest of the way in the ToC? It’s going to be a two-day final on Thursday Nov. 14 and Friday Nov. 15. The winner — who will be determined by the two-day totals in those games — will receive $250,000, while second-place gets $100,000 and third gets $50,000.

So away we go. We’ll see if Holzhauer can avenge his loss, or if Boettcher has his number again.
