Ken from Jeopardy

[JesusRox]

I wonder how long he'll be on there ???

 

[tams67]

Ok it's Monday and he won again! Tams

 

[BrianM84]

It was weird to hear Ken say "I don't know" during a Daily Double in the second round, it didn't matter though...as usual, he sweeps another day and is getting closer from setting the all-time Jeopardy high.

 

[krstlros]

This Jeopordy season is coming to a close soon. Wonder if he's going to end the season and begin the next.

 

[Kelly]

So, is the guy unemployed or can he just take that much time off of work?

 

[HisWinterRose]

He will keep going till time runs out ... by the way if anyone watches it how many days has he been on there ??

 

[tams67]

I know it's been more than 30 but I am not sure of the exact number of days. Tams

 

[BrianM84]

34 straight wins for Ken Jennings and his total sits at $1,135,460.

He's a computer engineer also...but I think he's a computer himself.

 

[tams67]

it kinda looks that way, he's up to $1,164,660.00 good grief. Another one down. Tams

Yeah whether he's employed at this point doesn't really matter I think. When you're racking in $30,000-$50,000 a day you don't really NEED a job. Jeopardy IS his job now I guess.
I like that he's charismatic and funny. He's laid back and easy going. He also seems to be planning smart stuff with the money. Paying tithe, putting away for his children, taking a trip, investing, etc. I'm glad the season will be over soon. This guy needs to be with his family for a while. I also wouldn't mind him becoming a permanent contestant and having him square off against 3 other opponents each week.

You guys act like he's actually there every single day. You do know all five shows for the entire week is filmed in a single day, right?

 

[BrianM84]

I'm not too sure if all five shows for a week are taped in one day. That'd be a little too much if it was true, which I'm not sure of. I know that it'd probably be at least two days.

But regardless, if all five games were played in one day then that's even MORE impressive. You'd have to have all the goods that day and Ken has proved he has all the goods. I'm still standing by that nobody will beat him, he might step down before or during the season finale.

I think you're right, but I imagine there's a lot of other things he has to go to, promotions, etc.

Yah, I know. But when was Ken actually taped? I heard back in February

 

[krstlros]

Well, he did it again.

Alex Trebeck mentioned on Monday's show that the record for straight appearances by any contestant on a game show is 46. Wonder if he'll make it.

 

[BrianM84]

Another easy win for Ken today...and for the third time now he's chosen not to tie the single day record for earnings with $52,000. Before the Final Jeopardy clue Alex teased Ken to actually beat it this time and get it over with already, but for some reason Ken won't do it yet.

 

[TriptychR]

I'm starting to think this guy is cursed. He's going to spend the rest of his life winning money that he'll never be able to spend!

 

[BrianM84]

Well he finally did it...he finally decided to beat the single day record of $52,000. Ken again dominated today's game and earned a whopping $75,000 total. He ends the season with this win and will kick off the next season in the fall.

What an incredible run!

 

[krstlros]

Now he gets to take a six week break.

The all time appearance is 46 days. Wonder if he's going to last that long.

 

[DJ B.K.]

I'm mad I never got to see him win at all. i've heard about it a lot but now I have to try to remeber after a couple weeks.
