This Game Show Contestant Is In ‘Jeopardy!’

For those of you who watch Jeopardy! (I don’t, and could care less about gameshows, although throughout my life people have urged me to try to get to be a contestant on one of these things), I guess it is big news that Ken Jennings finally loses tonight and, as this Washington Post story puts it, loses on some rather mundane questions. But it is equally big news, it seems, that the news was leaked. kottke even had an audio clip of the crucial segment of the show, although he has taken it down under a cease-and-desist order. And, finally, it is also news how much of a relief it appears to be to Jeopardy!‘s host Alex Trebek that the mighty is fallen and he gets to be the star again.
