Duckie, I will give a GMail invite to the one who guesses closest.. What do ya think?

[badcrazygirl]

he cheated lol

[DEBKARLAR]

 i never watch jeopady

[huh]

i cant wait until he loses. im tired of seeing that dufus.

[Super Duckie]

its gonna be a LONG time yet until he loses

[badcrazygirl]

well duh he cheated prob i bet

[Super Duckie]

theres no way u can cheat, he's just that smart....

[SpeedLimits]

well duh he cheated prob i bet

Yes i agree, hes got something in his earpiece. One of them little sounds to his ears.  :)

[Super Duckie]

its kinda dumb to think that, he would never get away with something like that

[badcrazygirl]

maybe if it was to small to see it is possible to get away with cheating

[Super Duckie]

i a sure he was already checked for all that stuff by now, he is just a smart guy, probally was the geek in his grade in school.....one thing is for sure, everyne will remember Ken Jennings

[badcrazygirl]

he prob put it in after they were done and when they weren't looking or he could of put it in, in the bathroom after the checked him

[ef9n15]

I say it was 76 games.

[DEBKARLAR]

He doesn't have to know everything just more then the 2 stooges next to him.
I can usually answer more general trivia questions then most people I personal know, does that make me smart ..nope just more knowledgeable then them. so if Ken is going against people who don't know as much of course he's gonna win

[Super Duckie]

it is still unconfirmed that he lost his 76th game

[Homer]

It's also still unconfirmed that I am a millionaire. :P >:D

[Super Duckie]

so far, from what they say, he did make 75 games, but now if he lost, won't be said,  guess we will have to wait and see, i thought i'd say it now since its all over the papers and the news, which I am somewhat unhappy that they went and spoiled it..........

[Knuckles]

Ken is a genius! . . . . .or is he? Never mind. He is making a Jeopardy record. ;D

[Super Duckie]

Ken is a record in the making himself, hehe
