Jeopardy is doing a Tournament of the Champions again, but this time the winners will face Ken!

"Invited to compete in the Tournament are the winners of every JEOPARDY! Tournament of Champions, College Championship and Teen Tournament, and the field will include over 100 of the top-scoring, undefeated, five-time champions since the show began in 1984. Collectively, these JEOPARDY! champions have won over $15 Million dollars in their past appearances.

The tournament participants will compete in a series of games, which will narrow the field to two players who will compete against Ken Jennings in the finals, to be broadcast in May.  Winners of the games in every round of the tournament will keep their winnings, with minimum guarantees throughout, and non-winners receive cash consolation prizes."

Maybe Ken Jennings could take the place of Alex or be a co-host due to his current five min of fame.

I was thinking a great game would be redoing "win Ben Steins Money" with Ken and Earl (Ken's friends and EUOL/Tage's roomate). I'd watch that.

I would watch that too.
EUOL would make a good Ben Stein with his dry wit.

I saw him. Even shoke his hand. Ohh yah, take that. =P But yes, I think Earl would have to be the host though... or maybe not. He may make a pretty cool Jimmy Kimmel. He does have that over-the-counter kind of wit about him.

Someone sent me an email forward with a funny story about Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.

So my question is this.  If EUOL or any of his friends were on the show - would they let them use Ken as a lifeline? I could see that cracking up the viewing audience.

Dude...I would watch any such episode.
