"With that 7.9 rating, the show was up 5 percent week-to-week and up 36 percent compared with the same period a year ago."

On a side note, Scorcho, how's the hand? I want to see you hit another long ball and get back into the top 10,000 again on the home run list.

It's gonna be weird without Ken on Jeopardy for a few weeks. I remember really getting into watching him like almost thirty episodes ago (a month and a half). Way to go Ken, and let's see how long he'll go.

I really think the Jeopardy producers are missing a huge opportunity by not showing "Ken's run" during this down time. They have people hooked, and many just heard about Ken recently. Spend the 6 weeks (30 shows) replaying his climb into the record books (38 wins so far) and you'll have even higher ratings in September.
Personally, I missed the first dozen or so appearances, only tuning in after this thread was posted. Since then, the show has been the first thing I watch on Tivo each night. I may tune in during the break occasionally, but I would definitely watch the first dozen appearances by Ken, and even re-watch the ones I've already seen to "catch" things that may be amusing now.
