GobbleDog 811 Posted March 6, 2019 Trebek has STAGE 4 PANCREATIC CANCER Why in the hell is he going to keep hosting? Find that man a mountain of cocaine and some high class hookers.

As far as I understand, next to zero chance either of them will. Trebek especially since he’s 80. FIL is only in his 50s but I still think his chances are scant.

SenatorRock 708 Posted April 9, 2019 Watching Jeopardy while waiting for the championship coverage to start. Some nerd is sitting on $43k going into Final Jeopardy. Unfortunately his lead is so big he can wager zero and still win so he'll probably play it safe. What is the most anyone has won on Jeopardy in a single episode? Seems like Ken probably has a few six figure games. Eta: he wagered $7k and finishes with just over $50k, 3 day total of $130k, not too shabby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On the episode that aired September 14, 2010, he amassed a score of $47,000 after the game's first two rounds, then wagered and won an additional $30,000 in the Final Jeopardy! round, finishing with $77,000. The previous single-day record of $75,000 had been set by Jennings. (wikipedia) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kutulu 1,516 Posted April 9, 2019 To be fair I don't think they said what exact sports he bets, so maybe football isn't where he makes his living. I don't know enough about betting but when he makes those odd dollar amount bets I wonder if he is crunching the numbers, figuring out EV and such? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
