The Ken Jennings Knowledge Challenge

Ken Jennings

Trivia Whiz, TV Host, Greatest Game Show Contestant of All Time

About Ken Jennings

Ken Jennings is considered the greatest-ever Jeopardy! champion, boasting the game’s longest-ever winning streak and having won the show’s “Greatest of All Time” tournament. His record run on the show catapulted him to quiz show icon status; he’s since hosted trivia TV shows, written trivia books and challenges, and published trivia board games. He attributes his success not to superhuman brainpower (after all, the answer “H&R Block” was right there when he finally lost his Jeopardy! streak) but to lifelong curiosity, thorough preparation, and the ability to laugh at himself under pressure—qualities that anyone looking to triumph over trivia can develop.
