Will there ever be another Jeopardy! champion as great as Ken Jennings

It only took about a year from the time that they removed the cap on number of wins allowed for Ken to come along. I think it is only a matter of time before someone else comes along.

I think that there have probably been players whose run would have lasted longer than Jennings' if the cap had never been there in the first place.

did he get knocked out?

[jasonHoldEm]

There will be a 100 day champ within 5 years.

He got knocked out on bad luck alone.

2 double jeopardy questions he risked and lost $4800. If he gets 1 of those right you can add $9600 to his total and he is out of reach come final jeopardy time.

When you don't know the question to the answer, it's not bad luck.

There are lots of records in sports which have been thought to be completely unbreakable. Yet, they get broken anyway. Cal Ripken's consecutive game streak comes to mind.

[rusty JEDI]

I am considering it bad luck, because im guessing that he is over 80% on daily doubles. So for him to get both wrong on the one day someone else actually made it over $3000 is unlucky. Add in the % of times he actually missed the final jeopardy aswell and i call it bad luck.

If you lose a hand when you were an 80% favorite on the flop, is that bad luck? No, its called statistics. There is no such thing as luck.

Who the hell is Ken Jennings?
