Ken Jennings in Jeopardy Game

I saw Ken Jennings in the 38th game of Jeopardy and boy was he good!
Left the other two players in the dust. Ken Jennings must have a photogenic memory or something.
"July 23rd show, Ken won an unprecedented $75,000, bringing his jackpot to a whopping $1,321,660."

Is he going to keep going? I thought I heard somewhere that he was going to break the record and then leave. I thought the record was 38 games.

Someone told me that the contestants are given studying material before the show starts. They are told what categories are going to be on the show that night and are told to study. Another person told me that it is his ability to bring things up from his memory so quickly that makes him such a good player. That and the photographic memory that I personally think he has.

Ken seems pretty cool from where he is in the game. At least he is not arrogant from all the fame and wealth he is accumulating. Very nice guy who kids around with the spokesperson and the audiences.

It is funny to watch the other players out in the cold while Ken plays it all.
They got nothing to do except to look bored and hoping the game ends quickly.
