Jennings has wonn 22 straight Jeopardy matches and counting with winnings up to 700,000 or so. Also has this GREAT movie site http://jenningsbaby.8m.com/ with every movie and what not, worth taking a look if you're not sure what to rent next time you plan on renting a movie!

Been watching this guy, and up until now...amazing. As for his movie site, when I saw "The Cooler" on his suggested movies-to-see list I suddenly realized this whole Jeopardy streak must be a fix. Does Charles Van Doren ring a bell?

P.S. Stick with Andy Fox's movie recommendations, you won't be sorry.

The streak has been unreal. Of course, since prior to this season champions have been capped at 5 wins, you can't definitively say that some past greats couldn't have done something similar, but from my own history of watching the show, I think this performance may be one of those unbeatable records.

I didn't watch last night because it was the weak for my home game, but i think of the 22 wins it only hasn't been a runaway 3 times.
