So if you guys have been watching Jeopardy! or like ET or Access Hollywood, you should know that millionaire braniac Ken Jennings is still on Jeopardy! after 40+ episodes. His winnings now total somewhere close to 1.5 million dollars. However, news has leaked out that 30 episodes later, at the end of Ken Jenning's 75th episode, his streak has finally ended, and he walked away with a total close to or exceeding $2.5 million dollars, not to mention the sponsors and the interviews that he'll receive after the show. What horrible spinoffs could you imagine Ken getting? Guest appearances on sitcoms? Maybe he'll find a girlfriend.

i'm pretty sure he'll get a girlfriend with $2.5 million dollars

edit: also, i'm extremely curious as to how he loses, because he's just been DESTROYING his opponents, it's crazy. he's mastered the buzz-in before the question is finished being asked.

Ken Jennings is married and worked in the IT field before appearing on Jeopardy. He has a kid, a girl, I think.

Yeah...you can only buzz-in after Trebek finishes the question, and if you buzz and he isn't done, then you lose buzzing rights for the rest of that question. Kinda sad, I wanted him to go on for another season Or until Jeopardy! pays him off or something.

His performances are absolutely dominating, it was fun to see someone like him tear through contestants thanks to the new rules.

I was almost on college Jeopardy. They gave the tip to watch the show a lot and use a remote (without batteries) to get good at timing the click. I think the "lock-out" lasts under a second; definitely not for the remainder of the question.

They probably did an extensive profile on one of the applicants and geared the questions to that person to beat Ken.
