Does Ken win today (Tuesday) on Jeopardy?

[royaldank]

I can't catch the show tonight like usual. I figured someone on here might have seen it already and could post the outcome. Thanks.

I swear this guy sold his soul for knowledge. The plethera of useless trivia he knows is just amazing.

He won last night, right? But only like $10k because he bricked the final jeopardy question.

Yeah, I think he won $10,001 after missing final jeopardy. He said on one show that he edits some sort of national trivia magazine and has for a few years. I think the guy just loves useless trivia.

I read on CNN today his total winnings on Jeopardy already topped $1.3 million... amazing...

 

[Yossarian]

yeah he bet over $20k in final jeopardy and blew it.

 

[Wahsapa]

he's never been greedy like that, im sure he learned his lesson.

i forgot the new season was on last night and missed it 🙁

 

[Syringer]

Usually he is greedy like that but he ends up with the right answer.

I thought he had quite the ego, when on a TV interview he referred to himself once as "the smartest man in America".

Well if you equate knowledge=smartness then he is.

 

[MustISO]

Anyone see it yet? We'll be out tonight, just curious.

 

[Descartes]

Yes, he won. He didn't get the Final Jeopardy right, but still won by a few thousand. It was pretty close this time!

With his obvious ability to recall endless information in a matter of a second, I would say he's absolutely smart. He might not have the raw intellect of Einstein, but that's an unfair comparison of intellects. Different people are better suited to different tasks, and Ken seems more like a databank than someone who comes up with moments of genius. Then again, we only see the guy on Jeopardy, so who knows...

 

[royaldank]

Must be a close game tonight. I'm watching it right now. Today was only the 2nd time he's been trailing after the first round.

I thought the season had ended and there were no new eps...? I guess I was misinformed.

New season started last night.

Once again, he crushes them in double jeopardy. Trailing going in, and then crushed them on the last 2 or 3 categories. I'm late for an appointment but I just love watching him kill everyone.
