What is the Final Episode of Ken Jennings?
Jeopardy recently started up its new season with Ken Jennings getting his 39th win.
We've been following this mormon wonderboy since he started his little streak. He's been answering questions on jeopardy at superhuman pace.
Since Jeopardy is not a live show but a show taped in front of a live audience, there are ways to find out how many episodes Ken Jennings really won.
Through the use of the internet and some sleuthing, I was able to get this answer. If you'd like to know more, follow the link to read the extended entry. If you'd rather not spoil it, continue to watch Jeopardy and enjoy the ride.
Now I have some questions for Ken Jennings and Jeopardy:
Who is this new wonderboy that beat Ken Jennings? Are we going to see this genius go on for 100 episodes? Did he lose on final jeopardy? Now that sponsors know what the last episode is, are the prices of commercials going to go up? What's next for Ken Jennings?
We are fairly certain that Ken Jennings' last episode was his 75th game with around 2.5 million dollars.
We have newsday that is reporting this.
as well as a blog of someone who knows someone who went to the taping.
Ken is supposed to donate around 250,000 dollars to the mormon church i would guess then.
