The thing that sets ken apart is his good buzzer technique. In Jeopardy, a lockout system disallows the players from buzzing in before the question is finished. Ken has great skill at being the first to buzz in after the question is read. You can tell that this is the case because he gets 99% of all of the "common knowledge" type questions, which we must assume that all three players know in most cases.
As for the people that are cooking up the conspiracy theories about "how can the producers get him off the show", that is ludicrous on several layers. Not just the obvious, that the Jeopardy producers would never rig a game. Instead, why would they even want him gone? This is the best advertising that Jeopardy's had in the last 15+ years. Everybody's talking about it. Best of all, the advertising has cost Jeopardy virtually nothing. In the last 16 days, they've given him ~$520k. In that same time period, Jeopardy would probably give away an average of ~$250-$300k.
