Harry Connick Jr. is a glutton for punishment. Twice before on his talk show, he’s raced American Ninja Warrior Jessie Graff. Twice he’s been soundly beaten.
But apparently that wasn’t enough for Harry. So on February 2, he decided to give it one more shot.
Within 0.3 seconds of starting, Jessie was already in the lead.

She was in the lead when Harry decided, once again, to CHEAT and skipped this obstacle!

But it didn’t really matter because she was at the buzzer while he was still two obstacles behind.

Jessie then decided to run the course again.

She met back up with Harry, who was still spinning around on the same obstacle.

Then, because she’s a class-act, Jessie stopped and let Harry catch up to her.

She even let him hit the buzzer after she’d clearly won the second race as well.

Harry, stop trying to make “beating Jessie to the buzzer” happen. It’s not going to happen.
