This fellow sounds absolutely amazing. I haven't seen Jeopardy! in a long time, but I'd really like to tune in and catch how he works his magic. I'm happy they changed the rules so recently (I think it was in 2003) to allow for winning streaks like this to happen -- a marathon like this gets viewers tuned in and it's a sheerly fun spectacle to watch. Some early detractors of this guy said that all of his opponents are bad, but what are the odds of that by now

I've caught a few of these episodes, and it's damn impressive. I haven't seen him miss a final jeopardy yet, although prior to today, he missed 3 in a row.
Today another contestant started strong, had the lead for a short while, but Ken just kept coming...it was odd, because it didn't feel as if he was totally dominating, but all of a sudden, he's got double, then triple the other guy's score. He cleans up the "superhero" category in Double Jeopardy, and he's off to the races. $34,000 going into the final, and $40,000 to win it.
As a former Reach for the Top master, I'm still blown away by the breadth of this guy's knowledge. AND he's a geek....he's my new hero.

Yet, for the first time, he failed to draw a single Daily Double. All three went to Miller
Hmmm, makes me wonder if Jeopardy is rigged. What are the biggest wildcards in Jeopardy? Final Jeopardy and the Daily Doubles. This guy could get 80% of the questions right, and still lose if one of the other contestants luck out on the FJ and DD. But this streak must be good for their ratings. Maybe it's like that movie Gameshow(?) with the rigged game show, where they feed the answers to one of the contestants.
Anyways, will be interesting to see this guy in the Champions Tournament.

I hope it's not rigged but you never know. I don't think it is. He can't answer every question correct especially Final Jeopardy's. The movie you're referring to is Quizshow I believe.
