Ken Jennings, Brainiac Jeopardy Champ


Here's my conversation with Ken Jennings, who won over $2.5 million in a record-setting 75 appearances on "Jeopardy." He told inside stories about doing the show, including the day he caused a panic on the set by using Alex Trebek's mirror, the categories he didn't want to see on the board, and how he kept from slipping up and telling anyone he'd won all that money before the shows aired. We also discussed whether being a "geek" is a bad thing, how pop culture helped him learn lots of non-entertainment trivia, the impact Google has had on writing and answering trivia questions. Then I made Ken take The Harris Challenge.
