Title: Jeopardy!
Post by: SadisticMystic on June 24, 2004, 07:50:23 pm

Ken Jennings has won 30 straight games on Jeopardy!, and with consistently high totals.  Today, he racked in another $32K.

Discuss.

What is his current total? around 580,000?

I'm guessing he's lost?

EDIT: The poll wasn't kept up to date. Blah.

Nope, he's still playing.  With one more win he should pass $1,000,000.

Update: Ken Jennings won yet again, and now has an accumulative total of $1,000,620 (At least I think this was the total-I saw the end of jeopardy, and glanced at the total quickly)

It's actually $1,004,960.

He had $46,000 into Final Jeopardy, and tried to break his own record with a $14,000 bet, but missed the question (picked 1996/2001 for the first two years when the NY Times used 96-point font headlines; the correct answer, which I nailed off in just under 2 seconds, was 1969/1974).

I agree. It's the perfect show (well, so far as I know) for someone who knows too much ^_^
