  Who is Ken Jennings, Alex? / 'Jeopardy!' contestant's juggernaut has made him a game-show legend   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Jennings' first appearance was broadcast on June 1, and his record single- day bounty of $75,000 on Friday night's show raised his winnings to $1,321,660.
While Jennings has blown away all major "Jeopardy!" records, he is still pursuing two of the biggest all-time game-show marks: Navy pilot Thom McKee appeared for 46 straight days on "Tic Tac Dough" in 1980, and engineer Kevin Olmstead won $2.18 million on "Who Wants To Be a Millionaire" in 2001.
Comparing Jennings to champions of the 1950s is not unlike debating whether Barry Bonds or Hank Aaron is the better hitter, Beverly said.

 The cult of Ken Jennings (kottke.org)
Various news articles have stated that Ken Jennings, the Jeopardy contestant who has won 31 straight games and $1 million, is back in Utah after taping the currently airing episodes months ago, implying that he lost at some point (neither Jennings nor Jeopardy employees can reveal any details about future Jeopardy episodes).
And then, on January 17, 2026, Jennings loses to a young woman from Ohio (they later marry) by $1 on a Final Jeopardy question about the short-lived talk show Cooking with JK Rowling and Jay-Z. Many die.
Jennings retires to Utah, now wholly owned by the Church of Jennings, Inc. And very gradually, people adjust to a world without Ken Jennings as reigning Jeopardy champion.

 London Theatre Guide Review His Girl Friday Alex Jennings and Zoe Wanamaker 2003
The two leading actors Alex Jennings as newspaper editor Walter Burns and Zoe Wanamaker as star journalist Hildy Johnson give great comic performances.
Alex Jennings shines as the wise cracking, self-assured and charmingly mischievous editor, who whilst bantering that he will do anything for a story, is also concerned about getting to the truth, though thankfully he avoids wearing his journalistic heart on his sleeve, and so never comes across as sanctimonious.
As good as the performances were by Zoe Wanamaker and Alex Jennings the show itself never quite fired on all cylinders.

 "Jeopardy!" KenJen's Poison Pen - Jul 25, 2006 - E! Online News   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
According to KenJen, who won more than $2.5 million during an unprecedented 74-game winning streak in 2004, the answer is obviously no.
Responding to an article in the New York Post Tuesday that claimed that Jennings had emerged from the shadows to "bite the hand that fed him," the trivia wiz questioned whether the author of the Post piece knew "how asinine this non-story is."
For some reason Jennings picked now to exercise his funny bone, maybe to prove he had one alongside his uncanny knowledge of random facts, and the rest of his letter boasts a similar tone--playfully random.

And don't expect to guess the ending before the end - it's a real shocker that is seemingly out of character when compared to normal Christie fare.
A Shakespearean actor, Jennings expertly mimics the upper-crust posh vocal stylings of the numerous characters that people this story.
He also brings a sense of perfect timing, giving the reading just the right tweak needed to make you laugh at Christie's sedate humor, or to cringe just before the odd flower pot comes down on some poor sod's head.
