[_Jeopardy_](http://time.com/4338360/jonathan-franzen-jeopardy/)_‘s_ current champion Buzzy Cohen is making the internet lose its collective mind with his bespectacled and unabashedly geeky winning streak.

Cohen has won a seven-day total of $133,402 so far, but more importantly, he’s found a cheeky way [to beat Alex Trebek at his own game](http://time.com/4288596/alex-trebek-snl-saturday-night-live-cameo/), with quippy [_Saturday Night Live_\-esque Final Jeopardy answers](http://time.com/3710664/snl-40-celebrity-jeopardy-saturday-night-live/) like, “What is ‘See you tomorrow, Trebek?'”

Cohen’s fun-loving antics have won the hearts of many _Jeopardy!_ fans, who are just as impressed with Cohen’s endearing nerd chic as they are his trivia prowess.

However, Cohen has also garnered his share of detractors, namely a Twitter account aptly named, “Screw Buzzy Cohen.”

Mazel, Buzzy. Here’s hoping there are many more Daily Doubles in your future.
