Kevin, please let me clarify....I won 12 games in a row when the contestants were school children.(when the questions are much easier) :D

In all seriousness, I am pretty good at Jeopardy; usually finish first or second vs the "regular" adult players on the show (second more often than 1st). I've actually won 3 or 4 days in a row quite a few times during the past 15 yrs, have won five days in a row twice; and my sister and brother in law have urged me to try out for the show next time tryouts are held here in Atlanta.

Of course, with my luck I'd be picked to compete on the show the same week as the next "Ken Jennings" :D

At least we saw it coming. If it wasn't for that rumor, this would've been a stunning shocker. Congrats Ken, on a fantastic run. You turned me, a Jeopardy hater, into a big fan. Well, just a Ken-Jen fan, but still. Obviously I won't watch Jeopardy a lot anymore, but if there's nothing else on TV at 7PM, it's no longer a show to be flipped past. :)

Thanks for the memories, Ken.

He apparently does it on purpose. 74 wins and $2.5 million.


LOL....Sorry I will put spolier oh well to late. :lol:


SouthernGale is going to kill you. :wink: :eek:


OH NO :eek: :lol: :lol: :lol:


You're very lucky. I knew it was going to happen soon but knew yesterday morning that it was going to be yesterday because our local NBC channel kept saying stuff like "You don't want to miss Jeopardy today!!" Well, duh...I wonder why.

Otherwise, you'd be one dead BBQ'd wing!

WOW! As I saw this morning on CNN Headline News, several Jeopardy losers were rejoycing that moment.
