‘Jeopardy!’ Ace Ken Jennings to Get Show
More than pride, a cottage industry may be at stake when “Jeopardy!” ace Ken Jennings takes on two challengers in the game show’s $2 million challenge that airs this week.
Comedy Central said Monday it has signed Jennings to be the central figure in a new game show the channel is developing with Michael Davies, the producer behind “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.”
That goes along with the upcoming board game “Can You Beat Ken?” and the “Quizzology” CD trivia game that he’s behind. Oh, and the book Jennings is writing that’s due out next year.
This man gives hope to software engineering dweebs and trivia nerds everywhere. Good for him, I say. Any time where our society can actually reward someone for class and intelligence, instead of being a worthless (can’t use the word I want) like Paris Hilton, it’s a good day.
