Ken Jennings!!

[Imparcticle]

Ken Jennings is a contestant on Its Jeporady!. He's won about $500,000 on the show and is currently a 13 day champion!!! Anyone watch Jeporady here? If so, then you've seen the master mind in action. If you haven't, you should.

I saw the one when he answered all questions on insects. Seriously, guys, I know some people are interested in it but, I don't know, I just don't think he does have much of a life. I mean, I'm probably 89% dumber than he is, and I don't have any kind of life. :mad:

Jon, I agree with you on the lack of life in the Ken Jennings department. :grumpy: He's like 30 and he has a comb over, and if you know this much useless junk, it's not something to brag about. It annoys me how he tilts his head to the side when they say the total amount he's won thus far at the beginning of the show. :confused: :confused: I'm curious to see this "wife" he talks about. BOO ERNS KEN JENNINGS
sincerely,
Phillipe

I'll tell you what, he'll have as much of a life as he could want with that kind of money.

I wonder how he'd stack up with some earlier big winners if they hadn't have changed the rules.

There was one guy who won IIRC $100K+ in 5 days (when that was the limit before you were booted). The answers were also worth half as much back then. I remember he had a funny looking beard.

My high school guidance counselor won on Jeopardy three days in a row. He lucked out in final Jeopardy each time.

A highschool geology teacher of mine once participated in the wheel of fortune.. and left the show with 0 guilders in his pocket.. he didn't tell anyone about the show, but the whole school soon found out :P

I find that people with very broad bases of knowledge have lives. People retain knowledge that is interesting. One of the strongest motivators of interest is the interest of other people. I think some people are just jealous :tongue2: .

We don't know Ken well enough to come up with conclusions like that. Unless of course other people around here do know him as a friend. I agree with Njorl.

Really? Could I borrow a dollar?

And the $500,000 dollar question is: What would you do if you have $500,000?

[Imparcticle]

Well, to update you guys as of today, he won about $622,000.
Anyway, he plans on going to France, England, Spain.

Hey, hey, hey cookiemonster!! Good ol' bud! Gee you're such a nice guy....don't mind lendin' a good ol' pal of yours (yeah, we go back over 60 days!! that's friendship man!) a few hundered thousand bucks? I'm just askin' ya from the goodness of my heart...you know, just to help you out there with all that $$$money$$$.

[Njorl]

I'm curious. At what point would you quit? Here he is with a lot of new money, but he is stuck in LA taping Jeopardy! Sure, he's making $30,000 a day, for a half-hour's work, but eventually, it won't be worthwhile.

I should have problems like that.
