Saw someone online described him as looking like the love child of Seth MacFarlane and Gilbert Gottfried. It doesn’t get much more punchable than that.

Jennings has already admitted to that. He flat out said that simply due to age and reflexes, Holzauer would have a significant edge over him.
Wouldn't that mean the Ken Jennings we're seeing is really just a simulation while he's really dead and decomposing in an abandoned locker room beneath the studio somewhere?
The guy who wrote those WOT recaps still does recaps of every episode on Disqus. They could always use more commenters.
Ken Jennings doesn’t give a heck.
“I like it. If you know those questions early, you pad your lead quick *and* lock your opponents out of the Daily Doubles.”
There’s always a contingent of Jeopardy fans who think any amount of strategy beyond “top to bottom, left to right” is ruining the game. I would like to fight all of them.
Yeah, $5 isn’t gonna do it. He’s won $1.6 million on Jeopardy! now, but I’d imagine that as a professional gambler, he makes bets that size every single weekend. That’s a large part of why he makes such massive wagers on the Daily Doubles. He’s not intimidated by the amount of money.
Honestly, that’s a bulk of any Jeopardy game. About half the questions cut back to all three contestants jamming on their buzzer; it really is as much about timing as it is about knowledge.
I’m not sure that is an accurate portrayal of what following my logic entails, but whatever. The purpose of the picture is another way of drawing attention to the article, of getting people to notice it.
“Trebek is lying to you!”
I read another news article about this guy today crying about how he was “ruining” Jeopardy because he always starts with the biggest paying questions. Clearly it’s working.
I guess they just figured anybody bothering to read a jeopardy article knows what Ken Jennings looks like
If you care so little about Jeopardy that you can’t recognize either of the two most famous Jeopardy (uhh...non-celebrity) contestants, why do you care about temporarily not knowing which is which in an article about Jeopardy?
I forget which interview I read (I think with him and SVP), but I liked Holzhauer’s comparison to Ken’s style being Seattle (Ichiro slap-hitting singles) and him being Vegas (go big or strike out like Bryce Harper).
I keep thinking that Holzhauer, like Ben Richards in The Running Man, is doing too well, so they’re going to have bring the old champion out of retirement to try to beat him, and in this scenario Ken Jennings is Jesse “The Body” Ventura as Captain Freedom.
I’m not a Jeopardy! fan that has strong views about any of this, but it doesn’t seem like a game that lends itself very well to head-to-heads among champions. Both these guys know the questions to at least 85% of the answers. It’s predominantly just a game of who pushes the little red button the quickest, which isn’t…
Clearly this can only be resolved in Final Jeopardy: Thunderdome
That’s nothing! I followed fellow Wheel of Fortune winner, Gary Average, on Twitter. That’ll show him!
