Re: REAL Jeopardy: Ken Jennings UPDATE!!!

Well, there was the gentleman who competed on "Press Your Luck" back in the 1980s who took the show for such a ride in one game (which they had to split into two episodes, because he went on for so long) that they retired him after one show, which wasn't the policy.

(If you're wondering what happened, on the show they had this board with a light that jumped around. Players won spins, which then got them chances to hit cash and prizes, or a Whammy, which made them lose all their stuff. One or two squares had cash plus one spin. This dude memorized the sequences of the board, and used it to completely pwn the game.)

Long story short, there is precedent for a game show saying that you've just won too much money.
