halls hour could soon fails off with the irs the action network reporting holzhauer could have to pay more than $1 million in taxes? why? because the game show is filmed in california, which means he would have to pay state taxes. he made 23450erly $2.5 million during his 33 jeopardy episodes. that s just about $58,000 shy from the jeopardy wings record held by ken jennings. so he would have to pay taxes for like half that money, basically that he won. steve: the tax man cometh. that s the way it works. katie: death and taxes. brian: ainsley earhardt at the cmt awards. with this new move i don t think you should go on jeopardy now. ainsley: i would be out in two seconds. are you kidding? i would be so bad at that show. trivia is not my thing. i don t know about that. guys, we are on broadway in nashville right behind us is the bridgestone arena and that s where the cmt awards will take place tonight. low cash is one of the groups up for the duo award.
