Has Ken Jennings finally lost...
... Or is it just a ploy to get us to watch more "Jeopardy!"? I ask this question in light of reports the seemingly invincible game show contestant lost in a show taped on Tuesday.
According to the Associated Press "unidentified sources" told TV Week about Mr. Jennings' defeat and said the show would air later this fall.
While I know his run cannot go on forever, the cynic in me thinks a lot of "Jeopardy!" viewers are getting tired of seeing his face every night. So a strategic leak that he'll get knocked off some time this Fall (maybe during the ratings sweeps? Or is that just too cynical?) is a great way to keep those people watching.
