I was just visiting my parents in FL and they are super into this and hope he keeps winning and my feeling is that...he just comes off kinda smug? And I maybe don't like him. So I was pulling for the Guantanamo lawyer and they were very confused and upset about that.

also leaked, and way way earlier (see top of this thread): ken jennings' demise
― fact checking cuz, Monday, 3 June 2019 19:31 (five years ago) link
and yeah there's a kind of smugness about him, but he's jeopardy's michael jordan, so he's earned it.
― fact checking cuz, Monday, 3 June 2019 19:33 (five years ago) link
its kinda hard not to appear that way as the camera zooms in on you after hitting a $60,000 final jeopardy
― frogbs, Monday, 3 June 2019 19:36 (five years ago) link
saw one show with him, didn't even realize it until the end -- he was actually down a fair bit after the first round. tbh he seemed considerably less smug/annoying than i'd have expected of a professional gambler kicking everyone's asses
― mookieproof, Monday, 3 June 2019 19:39 (five years ago) link
He seems like a decent enough guy and all but I stopped watching a few weeks ago because it just felt kind of boring - which seems kind of fickle on my part but still.
― joygoat, Monday, 3 June 2019 20:35 (five years ago) link
he comes off as extremely sweet and endearingly awkward, don’t really see smugness at all
― k3vin k., Tuesday, 4 June 2019 04:31 (five years ago) link
so tonight: exactly one wrong response all night between the three contestants. 59/60 correct responses during regular play, plus 3/3 correct responses in final jeop. two of the three daily doubles were successful true daily doubles. is that as close as jeopardy has ever come to a perfect game?
― fact checking cuz, Tuesday, 4 June 2019 04:46 (five years ago) link
(xp) i'm with you on sweetness, awkwardness and, above all, normal dudeness. but i do think a tiny bit of smugness crept in over the last 10 or so games. and it didn't bother me at all.

the dude seems nondescript as hell lol at the projection

The Combined Coryat score for the game of $53,200 is an all-time regular-play record.

If that's what it takes to beat him...
― frogbs, Tuesday, 4 June 2019 13:36 (five years ago) link
i was bummed when dude lost... but it's pretty cool that Emma has three wins in a row since beating him, hope she can run off a nice streak as well.

loved how he gave her a big high five after she nailed the final jeopardy. his 'smugness' was always endearing.

he going to get a baseball job now?

he suggested in an interview that it probably wouldn't pay enough
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Thursday, 6 June 2019 17:50 (five years ago) link
what would? He should be able to do the promotional talk circuit for the rest of his life if he wants additional cash.

― self-clowning oven (Murgatroid), Tuesday, 24 September 2019 18:08 (four years ago) link
Regardless his strategy is great and he's not getting many questions wrong. 3rd highest cash total after only three weeks or so!

Is this the guy who was the champ on the season opener?

Netflix has just the season openers of each year in a set. It's a trip watching Alex, the sets, and people's hair/fashion rapidly change upon binge watching.

There's a few random episodes of the 70s version on YouTube. Man, the questions, er I mean answers were a lot harder then!

Ken Jennings is interviewed on Andy Richter's podcast and seems like a cool guy.

I didn't realize Eddie (mentioned in 1st post) is blind! Used braile to read the questions. That's impressive. And met his wife after she saw him on the show. Neat.
