UPSET OF THE YEAR!!! KEN JENNINGS LOSES ON JEOPARDY!!!
Stop the presses, KEN JENNINGS has been dethroned as king-geek on Jeopardy. He was defeated yesterday by "Nancy".

Does anybody want to place bets on where Jennings goes from here? Does he get to host his own quiz show? Does he enter the reality-TV circuit? What kind of odds are there on him going on a coke-bender and getting caught with a prostitute?

Who do you think is more upset about Jennings losing: Jennings himself or Jeopardy's producers. I think the answer is obvious. Nobody really cared about Jeopardy before. I mean if it's on you'll watch it, but nobody really goes out of their way to watch it. People did at first to watch Jennings dominate, but that quickly got boring. Now that he's done it's back to the same old ratings for Jeopardy unless they spice it up by replacing ALEX TRABEK with ANNA NICOLE SMITH or something. Or do they replace Trabek with Jennings?

Jennings' fifteen minutes of fame are up but at least he gets 2.5 million out of it. Not many people get that type of deal. I bet STEVE BARTMAN would kill for that deal.
