Re: REAL Jeopardy: Ken Jennings

Another interesting Jeopardy fact... most of the time, they tape an entire week's worth of shows in one day. So, when they come back "tomorrow", the winners really just go backstage, change clothes, and come back to tape the next day's show.
So, Ken Jennings could have already won $1 million+? Not to assume anything.
Plus, if they do a week's worth of shows in 1 day, he on average makes $30K a show, $150K in a day! Gee, at this rate, he's doing better than Bill Gates!
