So if the 75th show rumor is correct, Mr. Walking Encyclopedia is going to lose on Wednesday, November 17th.  I'll be watching just to see him lose.  I wonder if he'll get his ass handed to him or he'll lose by a $1 or some ****.

Anyone catch Ken's win last night?


They had a Star Wars catagory.

The only one I didn't answer was the C3P0 question, about what type of droid he was. Protocol.

Damn it, I knew it too.

We'll definitely be tuning in next week to watch Ken's mighty streak come to an end.  Should be some great drama...   8)

Think he'll cry?   :P

I dunno! I think I should commision some one to get all his footage from jeopardy, make a music video, using Duel of the Fates, with footage of him winning, and coming back from low scores, and then Alex telling him he lost, and crying and such.

Or not.

Tonight is the 75th show (last night at the beginning of the program they announced he was the 73-time champ.) The rumors are flying--but the previous rumor of 75 shows and 2.5 mil seemed to be right on the money.

Tune in tonight if you care at all.

Thanks for the update Bobb!  I was wondering what night would be his 75th, when he'd finally fall.  Kinda weird.  Like watching a Superhero get killed, or something...   :-\

We'll be taping it!
