So for some of you that watch jeopardy. Know that Ken has been there for 74 days now and the deal is that tonight is going to be his last night. This is just rumor that is floating around. But stay tunned tonight to see if it is true. I personaly think it is just a spoof and they are trying to get the most ratings for a T.V show in the history of t.v.

Yea, I saw that thing in the National Post today (or was it the Edmonton Journal?). I hope he keeps going.

It's official -- he lost. He'll have to squeeze by on the 2.5 million he made...

Mack_Attack · 11-30-2004, 08:00 PM

LOL vulcan. Well he needs to give 10% to the church.

Yes he lost bummer.

Sir Goulum · 11-30-2004, 09:27 PM

He lost? Way to ruin it for me! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Sir G I did not report it until it was official. You want me to take out the whip again. Better yet the blower dryer and melt your snow man. j/k

Do you think he threw the game or what? That question was not too hard, and to answer Fed-ex? That's weird! What do y'all think ? Did he get tired?

Perhaps he took a paid dive from the Jeopardy folks. He kinda eliminated the element of competition from it, though he was entertaining to watch at least a couple of times.

Then again, sometimes ya just don't know the answers [img]smile.gif[/img]

Well they actually do five shows a day. So he was actually not away from work all that time. But I do not think he threw the show. But I can imagine that it would be hard to know that much info. What makes me mad is the fact that the person that took him out did not even make it past the next show.

And as the finale question not being hard those are the ones that throw doubt into if it is right or not.

There was a full page add in the paper today, with Ken Jennings and his answer "What is Fed Ex" that said the only time Fed Ex was the wrong answer, rather amusing.
