I'm a little sad.
After winning 74 times in a ROW and raking in a total record-shattering amount of $2,520,700, he finally lost last night.
Yeah, yeah, mock me all you like, but I am in awe of anyone who is able to do something really well. (Actually, I'm quite easily impressed, so even moderate talent is highly regarded by me.) And watching Ken in action on that quiz show was quite remarkable.
I know he's a bit of a geek (I love geeks, though!), but he was such a gentleman throughout his time on the show.
And last night, when he lost to Nancy Zerg, a realtor from California, he bowed out with his usual good humour and grace.
Goodbye Ken Jennings! "Jeopardy!" just won't be the same without you, and I can't wait to see you on next year's Tournament of the Champs, when you will continue to kick quiz show arse.
