We watched Jeopardy tonight, and KenJen won again — that’s 31 days in a row now. He was also interviewed on tonight’s Entertainment Extra. He’s an official celebrity!
Question for the Jeop fans out there — do you know how far in advance they tape these shows? I’m wondering if they are still taping shows featuring Ken, or if he’s finished now. That is, does Alex Trebek know how and when Ken will eventually meet his downfall — or is he still going strong?
Tonight and last night another player was very close to getting half of what Ken had — but in both cases, he got final Jeopardy right while his main rival did not. So really, he was never in any danger. Crazy!

They reported in the paper a couple of weeks ago that KenJen is currently at home, so he’s done now. I think the shows are taped a few months in advance (three, maybe?).
Apparentely Jeopardy ratings have skyrocketed recently, which is good, because it’s so much better than the number one game show (Wheel of Fortune).
How do you think KJ would go against Suj? 🙂
looked this up the other day and confirmed ‘s post. The tapings are definitely over. They’re about a month behind. They tape a full week’s worth of shows in one day (so Alex only works one day a week.)
I can’t believe how hard the one final question was… the one about which two years the NY Times used 96 point font. I actually paused the show and tried to come up with 2 or 3 alternatives. I didn’t get either years. Mind you, I usually can’t answer most of the questions so that doesn’t prove much.
