Jennings, according to one source was caught in an act of passion with a make-up artist on the set of Jeopardy two weeks ago.


I guess they don't care that the episodes were filmed in February.

So there are reports that someone who was at a specific tapeing is saying Ken lost, they say what episode and how much money he walked away with in this article (on MSN).  I'm not going to link the article so as not to ruin it for anyone if true.

Yeah, I just stumbled onto that on CNN.  If you don't want spoilers, don't read it.  But it's interesting.  You can find it at CNN.com under the entertainment heading.

Sprig, why did you post that?  I saw the article too, of course, but by even mentioning it, you've given a major spoiler.  It doesn't matter that you didn't link the article.

Well becsaue I stumbled on that article thinking it was about how bad it last few shows were and was just going to be the general "he needs to do better if he wants to keep his streak up!" article.  

I posted that so others wouldn't make the same mistake, I feel it's no spolier it's going to happen sometime Ken cannot go forever.  You know he was going to eventual loose, me saying that there are rumors as to when does not ruin anything for you.

I like the bit at the end - free tax prep for life.  That's really cool.
