Ken won again tonight. He had $51,400 going into Final Jeopardy! with his nearest competitor at $5,800. The category was "Shakespeare" and you had to name 2 of the 4 plays that had ghosts on stage. The 2 women missed it. Ken got it and risked $23,600 and ended with a new 1-day record of $75,000.

New episodes return September 6th.

Thanks a lot Brent lol..

Yeah, I heard about it earlier this morning. Should be great to watch, since I am a Ken Jennings fanatic.

I can't wait till Labor day either.. Think how famous Ken is now.. That's nothing compared to the guy who beats him.. whenever that may occur

Wow.

Okay.

The one-day record is now Ken's.

Finally.

What a finale.

Now, between you and I, seeing the category, I really thought that Ken was going to wager more. In fact, I expected a wager of no less than $38,600.
