Ken obviously knows just about everything, but he's also learned the great art of "buzzing in at exactly the right time". I think some players start pressing their buzzer too soon and get locked out. Because the other players probably also know the answers most of the time, but he always seems to ring in ahead of them. The pained expressions on their faces, especially the ones who hold their buzzers up so everyone can see them incessantly clicking, are priceless. But Ken, or the JG, has got the magic, I tell ya

I have to agree that at this point, if he had already lost, we would know about it. With the live studio audience, the other contestants, and all their friends and family, it will be absolutely impossible to keep his loss a secret unless they go to a live format sometime down the road to prevent the spoiler.

it seem to me I read an article in USA Today, or maybe entertainment Weekly, somewhere like that, when one of the reporters went on Jeopardy as a contestant. he was up against a guy who was a three day champ and he confirmed that it really is all in the buzzer technique. he saif you really have to ring in exactly when Alex finishes the question or else you're locked out. he saifd he knew a lot of answers but just couldn't get in fast enough. After 30+ appearances, ken has the buzzer advantage down to a science, so he may be there a loong time.

How bad do you wanna slap JG when he had his mouth open, grinning, and shaking his head, not knowing what the answers for the Rock catagory tonight.
The only way to take him out is put up all MTV and ESPN catagories, then put in a MTV producer and ESPN anchor.

I wonder why Ken loves torturing Alex by never winning more than $52,000. Maybe he wants to wait and have at least one more record to break next season.
My roommate is pissed that he didn't even make it out of the Jeopardy try-outs a few years back, and it's making it all the more funny watching Ken wipe the floor with everyone he faces. If I'm watching it and he walks in the room he'll say something like "is that evil little troll still winning?" Hehe...so jealous and bitter

I flipped to Leno during the commercial break of Kimmel in time to catch Ken, but flipped it back a couple minutes later. I'm glad I did because they're doing a bit about Super Dave beating Ken.

Thought this was funning.
Excerpt from an article on Ken Jennings'
money and what he plans to do with it,
The movie buff managed to come up with wrong answer to that question the first time his wife raised it.
"She asked me what we're going to do with all the money and I told her it's all going to DVDs. I don't think she thought that was too funny," Jennings said.
Perhaps he will wind up on this forum.
