Don't read the above article if you don't want to know how many total games he actually won and his final winnings (for those who actually watch Jeopardy and care).

i love ken, but watching him clear ? after ? and seeing him win over and over gets a little boring after a while.

Here is a question, with Ken Jennings clearning like 3 million when this is over probably, and who knows whats going to happen to him now that hes so famous. Does this make Trivia a career option? I mean with Jeopardy if you go to the try outs and you are good enough you have a good chance at getting on there. Hell I want to go on there now..

I know... like I said, when they introduce him as "a software engineer" I think they should add "Jeopardy champion" as his new career...

Did you notice that they said his 41st show had just been aired, and he lost after 75?

That means there's still at least a month and a half of him winning yet to be aired :)

there any tv rips of this on the net? ive checked my usual sites and none seem to carry tv rips of game shows ;\

im at work when jep comes on and since the dawn of mass production of tv shows and movies to dvd, i havent owned a vcr in almost a year (anything i had on vhs i wanted to preserve i kept or ripped and burned to dvds).

been dying to see how good this "ken" is but i cant ever catch an episode
