Current Jeopardy Champion is a walking encyclopedia!

The current champion has beaten over 20 people and has over 600K in winnings!!! I am a regaular Jeopardy watcher. This current champion has the broadest knowledge I have ever witnessed. He knows just about every category!!! I like to see him in who wants to be a millionaire

I saw him playing in the first week and then tuned in several days later and saw him again!!!

Wonder if he's the present day version of the 60's contestant who was fed answers...

How much of his success is attributable to his speed on the button as opposed to knowledge??

The speed is useless if you don't have the knowledge, right? It's a combination of both, but difinitely his very broad knowledge is the key to his success.

I am watching him during dinner most ot the time. I don't see how anyone can beat this guy!!! He has won 30 times. I have seen a lot good players in Jeopardy, but no one comes close to him. The only way he will lose is a very good challenger got very lucky and he got careless. It has to be in a very unsual circumstance for him to lose.

I hope he appears in the Regis's Million Dollar game. It would be fun and exciting to watch him in that game

The guy is a computer programmer. Its a field where you have to read a ton of boring crap, and remember every bit of it. I would venture that the key to the guys success is that he has a phenomenal memory.

He sounds like a guy who had to read a ton of boring crap.

Exactly 15%, to the penny, and he doesn't need calculator to figure it.

He likes those places where you ring a bell for the waiter.

Ding! "What is...the blue plate special?"

"Ok...I'll take the ham and eggs for $5.00"...

I first saw the current Jeopardy champion when he was attempting to be an 8-day champion. Then, I happened to be flipping through the channels last night, and I saw that he was still on Jeopardy for the 30th time in a row!

I’ll tell you one thing...he looks smarter than he really is.
