As someone who has seen every single one of Ken's performances from day one, I must say I am deeply disheartened by his loss. I knew it couldn't go on forever, but I was hoping he'd get to 100.
Ken Jennings is the man. He showed the world that you could be a nerd, and still be successful and popular.
He'll be back for the tournament of champions next year. I look forward to him sweeping those three games and taking home another 250,000. Ken is a legacy. He almost doubled the all time record for most performances on a game show, and almost beat the all time winnings by half a million dollars. Maybe the all time winning will be broken, but the Jeopardy records as well as the sheer number of appearances will never be broken. Gameshows will die out before it happens.
