We'll Miss You, Ken Jennings
As I'm sure anyone who cares now knows, Ken finally lost in his 75th Jeopardy! appearance, taking home a bit more than $2.5 million. I, for one, am going to miss him. I started watching him about 14 episodes in, back in June, and he was always just amazing to watch.
The last post on Ken turned out to be host entry for a number of comments about Ken over the past four months or so. I stayed out of it, but now that the Era of Ken has drawn to a close, let me say a couple of things:
- Gail Jones, posting on Nov 10: you nailed it.
- To the conspiracy buffs: thanks for the laughs. All you had to do was watch, oh I don't know, maybe one show and you could tell he wasn't being fed the answers.
- To all the people that put down Ken because he's a Mormon: your intolerance of his beliefs which happen to be different than yours and, by the way, completely unrelated to his brilliance, is pitiful and disheartening
It looks the the "Ken Jennings" wish list on Tivo is going to record both Letterman and Nightline tonight. I look forward to hearing about his experiences.
Thanks, Ken, for some great television.
