Ken Jennings on Jeapordy

[phisigduchesscv]

Our local paper here in the South Bay of Los Angeles, just ran an article yesterday about Ken. The episodes were actually filmed in February. They mentioned that Ken is really fast on the buzzer - there are lights on the sides of the board that the players can see, once the lights go out they can buzz in. He just times it right to buzz in and lock everyone else out.

As the yahoo article linked about and the Daily Breeze article said. One of Kens side jobs is researching and creating questions for the College Quiz Bowl. No wonder he's doing fantastic. The Daily Breeze writer wasn't able to find out if Ken finally loses or if he comes back in the fall because he was still winning when the season's taping was done.

Ken Jennings looks like and seems like the goofy prom date i had in high school ..... he and david could be related hehehehe

the goofy ones always become rich. it is just a fact of life

cold pizza's talking about him this morning so me-thinks he's still winning.

I never saw an ep. with him in it... How much did he end up winning? How many episiodes was he on???

Supposedly the episode where he loses airs around Nov. 9th. I know he's on until at least the 5th...

I can't wait for him to lose. Seriously. Oh, he made the SportsCenter top ten on Tuesday night for becoming the all time winner of any game show with over $2 million.

So we were doing the promo spots for Jeopardy for the next 2 weeks. We had promos for Ken on Monday and Tuesday, and Wednesday the college tourney begins. The 9th is when the show he loses on is predicted to air, and we found it funny that the tourney was starting mid-week. So we're all guessing Tuesday night is when he loses. Either that, or they're holding out for sweeps.

He plays the way I play at home. Sadly, I didn't pass my Jeopardy tryout. I might tryout again. I'm really smart when I play at home.

You tried out, too? My tryout was 3 days after I left my exhusband. Needless to say, I messed up big time. The sad part is, I knew the answers - I just couldn't get it down fast enough.


As for Ken, I heard that he reaches something like $2.5 million prior to being dethroned. If he leaves his wife, I have dibs!

Just a minute - he's a Mormon! Maybe I can be #2....?!

I heard that he loses after 75 episodes. I don't know if that means the 75th episode or the 76th...

The King has been dethroned!!!

I have rent my clothing and am sitting shiva.

Between the promotion of tonight's episode and the look on his face after hearing the correct answer on Final Jeopardy!, I knew. *sniffle*

[Xylochick216]

We saw the episode Friday when they were satelliting it in... he honestly didn't seem terribly upset. Everyone at work thinks he was tired of being away from home and decided to just leave.







SPOILER: The woman who dethroned the king is dethroned tomorrow night... she didn't stay around long!
