I saw the ending. :( WHY DID HE HAVE TO LOSE?!?!?!

He knew that. When you think seasonal unemployment, you should AUTOMATICALLY think of H&R Block. And Fed Ex is blue collar, and it's not seasonal. Ken knew that.

Oh, well, there go my Jeopardy!-watching days...

I heard somewhere that they told Ken to lose on purpose. The question was pretty simple and looking at his answer, it does seem as if he didn't try at all and just said some random answer.

First of all, rigging a game or quiz show is a federal offense. Do you think the producers want to go to jail and repeat what happened in the 50s? I think not.

Besides, Ken was helping the ratings immensely. J! beat Wheel a couple weeks during his reign.

Ken did not lose on purpose. He said Nancy played a better game than him. It was simply the fatigue and the DDs he got wrong. If he wanted to leave, he could have just retired. There is a retirement clause in the contract you have to sign. Besides, why would he leave? He was happy, he had fun, he was winning lots of money. It wouldn't make sense.

Long live Ken Jennings!

Sorry if it sounded like I was. I was only trying to explain it. :)

Like I said before, I think he lost on purpose.
Don't think the show had anything to do with him leaving, I just think HE wanted to lose for whatever reason.
Anyways... it's done and over with... lets move on! :P lol

I'm glad he's gone. I haven't watched Jeopardy since the new episodes started, because I was sick of seeing him on there.

Gotta give him props, though, for winning for as long as he did.
