Game show news

Ken Jennings lost today. Or rather, the episode where he lost aired.

I think people expect me to be happy. But I wish it'd been me.

Now in happier news...

What was the total Ken walked away with?

[kellinator.livejournal.com]

Something like $2.5 million.

Those kooky mormons.
hahaha!

So who the hell kayoed him?

Glad he finally met his comeuppance at the hands of someone (but I'd have preferred it to have been at your hands, too.)

Frankly, I don't know why they don't do a kind of game-show "term limit"; for me, an eternal champion is annoying to watch and not very compelling.

I believe there used to be one. They took it off, and Ken Jennings came along.

We watched it, thanks to the wonders of TiVo. One of my thoughts was "now do they let Kellinator and all those others compete against actual mortals?"

Write in and tell them you want the "Beat by Ken" tournament!!

i think jennings wanted to lose today. come on, you know he knew fed ex wasn't the answer. after 6 months on jeopardy! and over 2.5 million, he was probably aching to go home.

I've been watching for months waiting for to see the game where he loses and cheering against him. So when does he finally lose? The day that I'm moving out of my apartment and have no television.

Like you, I want to be on Jeopardy. Unlike you, I had no aspirations of beating Ken Jennings. The guy was unreal.

No, Ken actually did beat me. But I got Final Jeopardy and he didn't. Taping was in March; my episode aired June 22. You can read the story here:

Yes, yes...you will FOREVER have that memory. You beat Ken in Final Jeopardy. It made my heart pitter patter with love and admiration.

I'll tell you what - I was happy. How that personality-less (not a word) mormon dickhead THING managed to trump up such a fan base is beyond me....

Wow. I haven't seen an episode of Jeopardy! in more than five months. I didn't even know Ken Jennings was still on.
