Guy seems pretty happy writing books and living off the Jeopardy windfall He's made like 5 million on Jeopardy. When ABC offers that much PER YEAR I think he'll take it. It's not like you work that much anyways. Show up for a couple weeks, tape 4 shows a day, then go home and come back in a month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plus he would actually know all of the answers instead of pretending to know them like Trebek. I guess I don’t watch much network tv anymore. I have not heard of this tournament at all other than from this thread. Other than Jennings, I don’t know the contestants. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess I don’t watch much network tv anymore. I have not heard of this tournament at all other than from this thread. Other than Jennings, I don’t know the contestants. I had never heard of Brad Rutter before. I don't have time to watch Jeopardy much any more but used to back when Ken was originally on. That's why I was rooting for him to win this. I had heard of James just because he was in the news almost every day during his Jeopardy run breaking some record. Plus he's a professional gambler and I've played a bit of poker so I could relate. Was worried his style would make it hard for Ken to keep up. As I noted above it was interesting seeing Ken adjust his game. I was disappointed in Brad's poor showing in this tournament.

Alex threw in a little comedic quip every now and again but was mostly just professional and stuck to the game. Which is exactly what Jeopardy should be. Jennings is basically doing the same thing.
