whoa...dead much? [31 May 2007|07:49pm]

I was rereading Brainiac and writing a paper on good old Ken Jennings when I was reminded of this community. Completely dead... :/ I guess we all relocated to his message board?

Happy belated birthday Ken :)

Hey.

What's up with the Associated Press spinning Ken Jennings' Dear Jeopardy! blog entry?

I'm surprised no one here has said anything about it.

For reference:

http://ken-jennings.com/blog/?p=70 that's his entry in his blog.

http://www.usatoday.com/life/people/2006-07-25-jeopardy_x.htm that's what the AP has to say.

If anything, it's an interesting example of how the press can take things out of context.

ken has a book coming out! Brainiac: Adventures in the Curious, Competitive, Compulsive World of Trivia Buffs. advance publicity/review proofs are out. it's available for preorder on amazon with an anticipated release date of september 12. there is evidently a "Fifteen-cty author tour" in the works.

also blurbed on the back of the proof is a "tie-in with author's blog", which is brand new and located at http://ken-jennings.com/blog/ — which i would guess some people here will be interested in.

ok.. i love ken, and there is only one ken jennings, but i'm starting to like tom kavanaugh, too! he wagers like ken, he usually picks within a single category from top to bottom, and he seems like a nice guy. :) thoughts?

jeopardy dvd [04 Dec 2005|12:27pm]

ceruleanjen
just writing to let you all know about the jeopardy dvd that's been released. it's got the three tournament of champions eps and ken's losing episode (although, i would've rather seen an episode where he kicked butt, but whatever) :P there's also an extra that shows behind the scenes stuff about the show.. what goes into making them, tour of the set, etc.

both sony's website and amazon have them going for 13.99, and i think sony might still be doing their free ground shipping promotion, while amazon has it eligible for free shipping if your total is more than $25.

on sony's website

on amazon

i just got my dvd last week, and i'm happy to have some kenjen on dvd.. still wish they did a dvd set with all the episodes he appeared in, though.

p.s. is [info]thetyde our moderator? it's not really important, but the layout of this community journal looks really squished on my safari, firefox, opera, and IE. :( and the CSS does really strange things to the links when you hover over them. :(

in 56 minutes, it will be the one year anniversary of kenjen's death loss to the evil nancy zerg.

wear all black tomorrow and put stickers of ken jennings on your face and cry, or at least i will.

I'm not sure if that's already been posted.
I know the movie has, but it's awesome that someone made this.

If you're using Mozilla, the sound won't work?
For some reason.

DVDs [23 Nov 2005|07:32pm]

Would anyone be interested in purchasing a 2-disc set (maybe 3 if I can find more of the appearances I recorded) of Ken appearances? I'm not asking much for them - $10 for both (plus shipping). It will contain at least these appearances:

Good Morning America (July 12 2004)
Letterman (July 12 2004)
Early Show (July 13 2004)
Regis and Kelly (July 17 2004)
Leno (July 22 2004)
Ellen (Sept 13 2004)
MADtv parody [doesn't appear] (Sept 19 2004)
Best Summer Ever (VH1) (Sept 2004)
Inside Edition (Oct 26 2004)
Nightline (Nov 30 2004)
ABC news appearance (Dec 01 2004)
Good Morning America (Dec 01 2004)
Regis and Kelly (Dec 01 2004)
Anderson Cooper 360º (Dec 01 2004)
Appearance on Jeopardy after losing (Dec 01 2004)
Biography [full episode] (Dec 01 2004)
Early Show (Dec 02 2004)
American Morning (Dec 02 2004)
Best Week Ever [doesnt appear] (Dec 04 2004)
The View (Dec 05 2004)
Barbara Walters's 10 Most Fascinating People (Dec 08 2004)
TV Guide's Top Moments '04 (Dec 20 2004)
Last Call (Dec 24 2004)
Cingular Commercial (Feb 2005)
Allstate Commercial (Mar 05)
Sesame Street (Apr 06 2005)

That's almost all his appearances. I know I'm missing a Dennis Miller appearance and anything he did after he lost the tournament (I was studying abroad in France. I couldn't record them.). Maybe I can throw in a few episodes for a third disc. We'll see.

I'll need a bit to get everything together. If you're interested though, email me: jd121699@yahoo.com.

If you're awesome at graphics and are willing to help make cover art, please contact me.

hello again kenjen world that nobody ckecks anymore. bastards. just kidding. but im really not.
so anyway.


   ken's game show is going to be called 'ken jennings versus the rest of the world.' catchy? sure.

anyway, our poor ken seems to be, or at least was, battling a cold and a fever, but still went to some trivia thing. oh, he's a trooper.

my favorite quote from the article about it, you ask?

"My wife is not here so I do not have to pretend that this wasn't as important as the birth of our child or our wedding. It was right up there."  (talking about being on jeopardy)

yeah, thats pretty harsh.   i love him.

In other news, i bought mental floss(ken has that magazine column about the six degrees of separation.) He did it about the rapper Eminem and the candy M&M. i could post it, if anyone wants me to. just say the word. i dont feel like doing it if nobody is even going to look at it. its supreme, i might add.
