1. Well, I think the recordings are on a delay.
He lost a few weeks ago, from what I heard, but we haven't seen those episodes yet.

5. Is everything okay with you?
I saw a thread in Ask the Admins that I didn't understand. Are you really leaving us?

6. Well, I was sort of discouraged earlier.
I thought about leaving here...for some personal reasons. But I decided not to...I would miss everyone on here. :-)

11. He LOSES??? I honestly thought he'd voluntarily leave the show.
Quite a coup for the man or woman who beat him. :-)

13. He's still rolling along. You haven't seen him in a while because
for the last two weeks Jeopardy has been showing the Kid's Tournaments. They are back on their regular schedule now.

14. I've heard rumors
That he throws his last show.

Apparently, he answers every question "Who is George W. Bush?"

Again, just a rumor, but still funny.

16. Rumour has it Ken loses at game 75 or so with $2.5 million in winnings
The episode where Ken loses was filmed back in August or September and has not been shown yet.

Ken Jennings is a question writher for NAQT which is a quiz bowl alliance. My son's and daughter's school are very active in academic challenge/quiz bowl and have been following the Ken Jennings story closely. Here is Ken Jennings bio from the NAQT website. See http://www.naqt.com/biographies.html
Ken Jennings
Ken Jennings grew up in Seattle, Seoul, and Singapore, and has since lived in Spain and Salt Lake City. He just now noticed that everywhere he has ever lived starts with the letter "S" and it's starting to creep him out a little bit. He played quiz bowl for BYU for three years before graduating with a degree in computer science, and now works as a software developer. He likes travel, Iron Chef, and Preston Sturges movies. He and his wife Mindy live with their son Dylan and their Labrador retriever Banjo. He currently edits literature and mythology questions for NAQT, which means he can now edit an Osiris/Isis/Horus bonus in his sleep.
