Jeopardy: How Long Can Ken Last?

http://www.news-press.com/news/local...

22 games! That's right, 22 games!

I don''t know, but the article said he is back home and the show was taped in February.

This guy is still going? Last time I saw it, he was up to 17. He''s a freaking machine. I''ve seen him get knoked off his stride once. Once. But then he made them pay in Double Jeopardy.

Zed, does your avatar mean you''re in the WoW beta, too?

So what, Alex works like 3 months out of the year? GREAT gig.

I thought they only let players go five games, and then they become 5 day champions. When did it change to as long as you can go?

A couple of years ago

No the dance is probably the closest I will get to the beta.

It''s like the dude in Quiz Show! They''re feeding him the answers!

""Suck it, Trebeck!""

It''s been quite fun watching this guy. The nice thing about it is that Ken is a likeable champion. Too often you get the smarmy know-it-all or the reticent studious silent type. Ken''s just got an easy going way about him; he seems as shocked to still be playing after 22 games as anyone else. You really want him to keep winning.

That said, I''d imagine he''ll cap off around 26 games.

Also, this is the first season they''ve ended the 5 day champion rule.

Last I checked, Trebeck is in his 60''s, and lives with his Moms. He most definitely does ""suck it"".

(Spoiler)

I read he wins about 500,000 dollars.

No he''s won a lot more than that already. I haven''t seen Friday''s episode yet, but as of Thursday''s he was at nearly $750,000.

I watched him last week, I think win his 21st. He was around 600,000 at that time. I will definitely tune in tonight to see if he''s still on!

Thanks to this thread I checked it out tonight.
Jesus he creamed the other 2 people.
It was over after the first row.

i saw him when he had about 4 straight wins...and who would''ve known...
