yeah so true....i mean why do they have who wants to be a millionair anyways its really who wants to be a 550 thouandair.

[lam-boy]

haha I watch this guy everyday I come home from work.

[benyl]

Who cares... it is still more money than some people will see in their life time.

Wonder if he can make it to 2 million...

[OK_Computer]

lol..

Yeah, I've been watching this guy for the last little while. I think I caught him back on his 7th win or something, and watched every now and then to see if he was still around. Even though he's Mormon, he still manages to nail quite a bit of alcohol related topics!

And that news article is a day behind. Today was his 30th victory and his current winnings are at $1,004,960.

Interestingly enough, the shows we're watching right now were filmed back in February/March with 5 games a day. He's back home in Utah right now and can't talk about the games until they've aired. This can mean that he's either been beaten or that the season's taping has run out before he's had a chance to lose and he would return next season. Prior to this, I believe the record holder for longest running wins was 7 or 8. The highest amount for a daily win was $52,000, which he's tied twice already. I think the most amount of returns anyone's had in any game was 42. it'll be interesting to see if Ken beats that.

woah!!!
thats insane!!!!

[Strider]

I've watched this guy a few times as well... he's pretty intense

but i thought they usually cut people off after 5 wins...

must suck for the people who jump through all kinds of hoops to get onto jeopardy, only to play against him

[CKY]

i don't think he'll lose, the only reason he'll stop is proberly if the crowd is tired of him or they've lost enough money to this geek they're banning him from jeopardy

Jeopardy had a rule of 3 days or something, but the new season they decided to throw that rule, and what better time than to have someone named Ken come on.
