On this date in 2004, 30 year-old Ken Jennings of Salt Lake City lost - finally. He became the biggest winner in TV history by collecting $2,522,700.00 on Jeopardy in 75 consecutive shows.
Subsequent appearances on Jeopardy in the tournament of champions type shows and competing against a computer raised his winnings to $3,196,300.00.
There was a time when I never missed that show. I haven't seen it for years, now. It got boring because I knew all the answers. Do you doubt me? Don't! They give you the answers.
