Since his first win on July 3, the game show connoisseur has racked up a whopping $70,186.

On a popular Reddit forum dedicated to the show hosted by Ken Jennings, 50, one fan was curious to know what brand Isaac was wearing during Thursday’s show.

“I NEED to know the brand of tonight’s shirt,” one viewer asked.

In the replies, Isaac said, “According to the tag it’s a St Michael shirt from the UK from 1993.”

Another viewer brought up how they recognized him from the ABC show, The Chase – and Isaac didn’t hold back on his lack of fashion freedom.

“They did not let me dress as my true self on The Chase though,” he wrote.

On the game show hosted by Brooke Burns, Isaac walked home with $140,000 in 2023, defeating nine-day Jep champ Buzzy Cohen.

Isaac also appeared on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire in 2017 and won $5,000 after not getting the $20,000 question wrong.

FANS LOVE ISAAC

In the same social media forum, Jep viewers had nothing but positive messages for Isaac.

“Isaac is so much fun to watch,” one wrote.

Another said, “I won’t mind if Isaac sticks around for a while. He’s a very smart, fun guy.”

“I like our 2-day champ Isaac and hope he becomes the next super champ,” begged a third.

“[Isaac is] super cool, and I’m really enjoying watching [him],” someone else said.

DOING IT FOR DAD

During Wednesday night’s game, as Ken got to know each contestant more, Isaac was asked about his father, Steve.

Steve was a player during Season 2 of Jeopardy in 1985 but unfortunately lost.

“My dad was on Jeopardy! in the ’80s – one of the first years Alex [Trebek] hosted, and he lost,” Isaac said.

Since his first win, Isaac Hirsh has won over $70,000

Alex Trebek hosted Jeopardy from 1984 until he died in 2020.

“Oooh,” Ken replied.

“And we used to tease him about it all the time as a kid,” Isaac joked.

He continued, “I play him Weird Al’s ‘I Lost on Jeopardy!’ [and say] ‘it’s about you, dad!'”

Ken joked with Isaac, “So today, we get to find out how real karma is.”

Since he has already won three games, Isaac only needs to win two more to qualify for next year’s Tournament of Champions.
