I assumed the answer to FJ was '63 and '68: King and Kennedy.
Go Ken. Imagine the people coming in to play - having not seen any of these shows - and seeing that the champion has won thirty shows! That's gotta be some intimidation to the challengers.

found the answer to my question... or question to my answer
He had to name the two years, five years apart, where The New York Times first used 96-point type for headlines marking historical events.
Jennings answered 1996 and 2001. The correct response: 1969, when man landed on the moon, and 1974, when President Nixon resigned.

so i guess the spoiler leaked a few weeks ago that he'd lose after 29 wins was wrong eh? 30 and counting.....pretty damned amazing....and he's still smoking everyone. I can't imagine how he'll lose.

It seemed to me that Ken was finally starting to show signs of fatigue. He appeared uncomfortable for most of the show. He also missed a number of questions. He didn't snap back till the last few seconds of the game.
If he keeps playing like that, someone's going to take him down soon.

question: How far back were these shows taped? cause if Ken is doing the talk show rounds he certainly had his run ended, right?

since he's making the media rounds, his winning streak must be coming to a end soon, or the media just didn't take notice till the last week or so..
