    Nice to see Alex on a hockey rink. He loved the sport.
    Something like 9 triple-stumpers in a Ken Jennings game is hard to believe.

    Ken has been pretty dominant in his run. Though I can’t wait to see him guest host jeopardy by the time 2021 rolls in. It kind of sucks that your internet hasn’t been working well VJ. I also had the same problem until we switched to something more efficient.

  3. Dal Higbee says:

    Why didn’t Ken risk $100 more than he did in his final wager?

    Sorry this is so late… my internet has been out most of the day!! It was going in and out after Jeopardy! aired here, then it just went kaput. The cable company said it will be fixed sometime tomorrow but Nikki set up a hot spot for me when she came home from work 😁
