What Is ~ One Smart MoFo???
I think Jeopardy is done for. If he never loses peeps will stop trying to get on the show and no one will keep watching. Do they have a max?
How in the hell is he doing it?

holy crap.. he's still on the show!!! been over a week since I watched and did not think he would still be there... he must be very smart, and he is also definately very good on the little buzzer (good reaction times!)....
OK, just in time for me to go watch today!

They used to have a max... I think you were limited to five days as champ and then they brought in three new contestants. They recently changed it and this guy Ken is putting some serious whoop-ass on everyone!
I don't think people will stop trying to get on... who wouldn't want to be the guy that brought Ken down?
As to how he is doing it, that's obvious...

30 days now ... Alex said the other night that the game show record is from backin the 50's or 60's when a guy was on for 49 consecutive shows .... At the beginning of this year they got rid of the maximum limit ... so he's there until they either change the rules or someone else wins .... I heard them discussing on one show that Ken has spent several years writing questions for on-air college debate contests, so he's obviously spent years in researching similar type info. Don't think anyone has even really been much of a challenge so far.

well.. he pulled it off on the last question today... just barely over double the competitor's cash before final Jeopardy... I'm guessing he does not mess up the math
now we get to tune in tomorrow...

The guy just made it for the 31st day and over a million $ total.
Hard to refute the ability, but another prospective is that he is becoming an all-time target for Jeopardy fans. Challengers have no shame in being defeated by such an image, but an opportunity to be the one there when the inevitable blunders occur.

I had the TV turned up loud so I could listen from the kitchen (don't try and play along that way...it's easier to read the answer along with Alex) and before I could get out "what is", Alex had said, "Ken" and Ken was blurting out his abbreviated (but still legal according to Jeopary rules) question and asking for the next answer...again, in abbreviated form...to beat the clock and have time left after the board was cleared...more than any other contestant it seems! In other words...I've watched them come down to seconds and Alex reading at his same ole pace and time running out before the answer could be questioned...but Ken runs the board and there could still be 1/2 a minute or more left if, there were more answers to get to.
That man's brain is gonna splode I tell ya!

Dude is crazy good. I know trivia and this guy kills. He's a Mormon so alcohol topics are his weakness and he's KILLING.
Watching him play makes me feel sorry for his opponents. They dive into negative territory to attempt to keep up.

I recently read an interview with him. The show was taped back in Feb. and in April he was back home with his family.
