I'm convinced now that this guy is not from this world. He has one of the largest craniums I've ever seen.

New total = $552,959

This new rule and finally a real good winner makes ratings. Jeopardy execs really got it right. Now people will watch and keep watching till he actually loses. I can see it now, Ken vs. Whoever else just as good.... battle of the nerds

I still can't watch it. I WANT TO SEE HIM PLAY! Every time it's on, I'm somewhere else.

He's still going as of Friday. He won another 40k and is over $550k now.

Yes the shows are pre-taped, and yes he eventually loses... but when... ????


GO KEN GO!!!!

I think you guys should watch the movie Quiz Show... might give you a slightly different outlook on Jeopardy

Apples and Oranges... there is no comparison.

Jeopardy is not rigged. It's also probably the classiest game show out there.

i didn't know they had changed the rules either.........i watched him one night.... and he cleaned house..... he would pick the category, then answer all of the questions while the other two just looked bewildered....

so in theory he can stay on there for like 50 days and make $2M?

that would certainly boost their ratings! wasnt the movie "quiz show" about cheating at a gameshow? maybe CBS is hooking him up with answers ahead of time? probably not... he is just damn smart.


edit - i didn't realize there was a 2nd page to this thread..... now i see others have brought up "quiz show"....
