Alonzo M. Zilch (inactive) BS: Boycott Jeopardy! (57* d) RE: BS: Boycott Jeopardy! 22 Jul 04

I suspect that you're alone in your boycott of Jeopardy.

First of all the ratings for Jeopardy have been up by more 30% during the Ken Jennings run. Bigger ratings means bigger ad revenues. Ken Jennings has won a lot of money for himself and has made a lot of money for Jeopardy.

Secondly, Jeopardy tapes months in advance. When they're taping, they do five shows a day. The Jennings run was taped back in February and March.

People keep tuning in expecting to see the giant killer. I don't know how many more wins there are still to be shown, but reliable sources have it that his run ultimately did end.
