Ken the Jeopardy Guy

You know what, call me slow but it just now dawned on me...

... Could this be a set up, to get people to watch a played out game show that has had meager ratings lately?

... Similar to Who Wants to be a Millionaire when they made the jackpot 10 million??

I began to wonder this as I saw myself checking the TV Guide for the time that Jeopardy will be on tonight. :o
 
well they did just change the rule that made contestants retire after winning 5 times so I guess you could view it that way, AFG

Who was picking on the viewers... granted, most of them are people "up there" in age (my Grandmother) but I don't care who watch the show. I just think it's seen better days, thats all. :)

Well, that dates me then. Jeopardy is my fav. show. I didn't know people didn't like Ken. It seems he knows a little bit about every thing. And his reflexes are lightening fast.

Who wants to be a millionaire is a dumb, dumb show.
 
I does not surprise me that Jeopardy's ratings might be in decline. It is the last of the "intelligent" game shows.
Because watching the show might actually required a few synapses to fire in the brain, most TV viewers pass on Jeopardy, and run to the TV guide to find out when "Wheel of Fortune", or "Hollywood Squares" will be on.

Television these days is 99% trash.
Turn it off, watch you aquarium!

True true...

...however, never compare Hollywood Squares with Wheel of Fortune. No way, those are two different shows and it wouldn't suprise me if two different sections of the brain are used on the shows as they sare so different. :)

H2 Squares is very interesting at times, it does make you think its just not the "Politically Correct" version of what is a smart question.

I love Wheel of Fortune! But then again, I'm the nerd you see on the subway with a Puzzle Magazine and pencil every day!!! I think as far as game shows go, Wheel and Jeopardy take quite a bit of intelligence to play. Another one is Name that Tune (oldie, but goodie)... I can name that tune in one note. Oooh, and the $25,000 Pyramid. You have to think fast, and not use your hands in the final round.

GO KEN GO!!

On the Monday, July 12TH edition of JEOPARDY! Ken Jennings inched closer to hitting the one million dollar mark. With $972,960 in his bank, can he reach seven figures? Tune in to see!

I went to a Jeopardy try-out a couple of years ago. I couldn't BELIEVE how many people were there! It was held at a large car dealership, and there were people snaking through the whole lot. I think I stood in line for about 2 hours, and there were still tons of people behind me.

Unfortunately, I didn't pass the written test, so no Jeopardy for me. Do any of you know the answer to this question that was on my test?

Baku, the capitol of Azerbaijan lies on which inland sea?
