What amazes me the most is that no one has been willing to tell when the streak will end.
Did the folks at Sony theaten the people who watched the final game?
[spooky voice]Maybe it hasn’t ended yet![/spooky voice]
From this CNN story:
I heard Ken and the producers of Jeopardy agreed to a parting of the ways after Alex attacked Ken with a tie clip at the end of the July 12th episode.
I think the important bit was that the organ in question was harvested from some cute harmless endangered animal for use in an ‘aphrodesiac’.
They’re covering up the fact that Ken’s winning streak is due to his eating the brains of his vanquished opponents.
Mmmm… delicious brains…
A whole page about bear bile!
Imagine that!
Thanks for the link, Walloon! That’ll teach me to doubt the Jeopardy! ninjas.
Why? What’s not to like? He is humble, brilliant, friendly, nice-looking, and has a good sense of humor.
Although he has the same qualities you mention as myself, he has this little smirk that I think is quite irritating. I’m not quite sure I agree with humble, he seems to be getting a bit full of himself.
I don’t think so. Last night, he told Alex that it wasn’t his smarts that got the whole thing going, rather that he made a lucky guess on the FJ of his first show. When he opened by running the comics category, Alex praised him, but he waived off the praise, stating that it was the kind of thing geeks know. And when he won last night, he immediately turned to his opponent and said, “Great game. You’re a good player.” Is it possible that you’re projecting a bit of envy or something? Smirk? No, it’s a James Dean one-side smile.
Exactly! 
Ken does not care whether you like him or not. He is Ken. Your curses can’t hurt Ken, your praises won’t win you any favors from Ken. When Ken blows through your village and smashes your houses to rubble, do you think Ken cares? Nay! No more than you would care if you accidentally stepped on an ant.
Plus, he’s got those big ears.
It’s k-k-k-k-k-Ken! He’s coming to k-k-k-k-k-k-k-kick my ass at Jeopardy!
That’s just awesome. And with his $800,000, he can afford all the tropical fish he wants.
Not unlike Og. Except for the ears.
Og not care whether you like him or not. He’s Og. Your curses can’t hurt Og, your praises won’t win you favors from Og. When Og blow through village and smash your house to rubble, you think Og care? Naay! Og smash! Og!!
In today’s show (7/8), Ken does what he always does.
Apparently Alex is tired of urging Ken to beat the one-day record: today he challenged Winnings to top the record for most appearances in a row on any game show.
The record is 46 showings, on some old “Tic-Tac-Toe” show (or something…it wasn’t anything I’m familiar with). I believe Mr. Ken Winnings won his 27th today. Can he do it?
The player in question is the subject of the second factoid.
There is an article in my newspaper today about Ken. I want to point this out:
Bolding mine.
Sounds like he could still be going!
