Wow, reports are in that Ken Jennings finally loses after 75 straight wins. Crazy! Though, I still think they somehow rigged it (some of the people they threw at him ended up with negative dollars and weren’t exactly the brightest people in the world, etc) a bit for him to make the streak longer and to make people watch the show, which of course it did. Dude was really smart though, in the most diverse categories as well. Since the show is taped way in advance, I think in TV time he’s only at 45 wins or so? So another 6 weeks of him on the air…

After a report posted on TV Week’s website that the brainy software engineer lost in a show taped Tuesday (that would air this fall), Jennings fielded questions in an interview with Ellen Degeneres on her syndicated talk show.

On the show, taped on Thursday and to air Monday, Jennings says, “Well, I think it was on the Internet and as you know, if there’s something on the Internet, it’s gotta be true.”

TV Week reported that Jennings lost after his 75th straight win, amassing a total of about $2.5 million US overall in cash and prizes.
