I saw that last night and new exactly what this thread was going to be about. You guys should watch tonight, 7pm on ABC. Ken won something like $35,000 to a second/third of $6k and $5k. <added to Tivo>
One of my college professors was a winner on Jeopardy. At the time I thought she was rollin', winning $56,000 and putting 100% into the down payment on a house.

"JEOPARDY!" KICKS OFF THE SUMMER WITH RECORD-BREAKING CHAMPION"
Ken Jennings of Salt Lake City, Utah Soars Past Previous Records. Total Winnings To Date: $376,158
(CULVER CITY, CA) June 17, 2004 - On Jeopardy!, a Utah man continues to break records as the show's longest-running undefeated champion. With an impressive $376,158 already in the bank, Ken Jennings, 29, makes his twelfth appearance on the show Thursday, June 17. A revised rule change, introduced in the Fall of 2003, lifted Jeopardy!'s five-day win limit, allowing contestants the opportunity to continue amassing winnings as long as they remain victorious.
Jennings, a software engineer from Salt Lake City, graduated from Brigham Young University with a B.S. in Computer Science. He cites film and hiking as favorite pastimes outside of work. Jennings and his wife, Mindy, are the proud parents of a baby boy.
The previous Jeopardy! record holder, Tom Walsh of Washington D.C., won seven shows and earned $184,900 in January 2004.
Jeopardy!, a winner of 24 Emmy awards since its debut in 1984, was recently listed among "The Greatest Game Shows of All Time" by TV Guide, and continues to be a ratings champion. The series is the #1-rated quiz show in syndication, and has held that title for over 1,000 weeks.
Jeopardy! is produced by Sony Pictures Television, a Sony Pictures Entertainment Company, and is distributed domestically by King World Productions, Inc. The U.S. episodes are distributed internationally by CBS Broadcast International (CBI). King World International Productions, a subsidiary of CBI, sells and produces format versions worldwide.
