Is anyone else totally indifferent to Ken Jennings?
So much excitement over a game show? Geez!

2. I've only seen the guy on news programs.
I don't watch Jeopardy. I figure, good for him...

3. I can't get dragged into it either...just don't care.
But (tin-foil mode on) one could get the impression that it is a set up to increase ratings.

4. Who's Ken Jennings?
Isn't he that guy on ABC News? :shrug:

Wait. I think I already answered your question.

5. He's ruining the show.
Not that Alex Trebek hadn't already gone a long way toward that aim with his continued goofiness.

I dunno. No, I don't care. But his fame is far more worthy than most of the idiots we see on these "reality" shows, that's for sure.

6. Jennings good antidote to the "on the street" morons that Leno interviews
I haven't watched Jeopardy for about 6 years but I watched the last 2 shows. I don't know how he does it.

He said he will give a big donation to NPR and public TV.

I can't stand that show "Street Smarts" where they ask people on the street basic questions and they haven't a clue.
