Courtesy of this article in the Salt Lake Trib, I now know that Ken Jennings, who has run his streak of Jeopardy wins to 12 (total winnings: $410K, so far!) as of last night, is a BYU graduate, a returned missionary, and a software engineer. Note to self: avoid going on Jeopardy to avoid unfavorable comparisons...
Update: I missed Tuesday's show, but as of Monday Ken was still going strong. I'll definitely be watching tonight.
Update: Ken is rocking on! He scored win #17 tonight.
Update: Ken is still winning big (although last night he almost didn't make it to Final Jeopardy). The New York Post reports that Jeopardy's ratings are up 12+% since Ken's run began, but why trust them?

I had a huge technical meltdown that ate the comments. Sort of, anyway; I can get them back, but it's going to take time that (right now) I don't have. Sorry about the inconvenience.

Who cares? Does anyone know exactly what show The Jeopardy Master will lose at?

Are you talking about John Kerry? The master of the double talk? He could not even get a winning streak going!

Sorry you're leaving, Bethany-- but there's more to life than Ken, so check out the main blog page and maybe you'll find something interesting to keep you coming back!
