WHAT IS . . . WOW? So, I finally saw Jeopardy! master Ken Jennings tonight, as he won his 21st straight show, now up to $697,760 in total winnings.
Dude's just automatic with the buzzer. He's got the timing figured out perfectly, and is stone cold on the responses. He's so effortlessly good, it's almost not fun to watch, except it is, but it's more like seeing Kobe Bryant play basketball than Allen Iverson, if you know what I'm saying.
How good is he? Of the 42 foes he's faced, only four of them have even been within half of Jennings' total going into Final Jeopardy!. Most of the time, in other words, he doesn't even need to bother with the final question.
Here's a bit more from his hometown paper.
