‘JEOPARDY’ CHAMP HITS 13
IS thirteen an unlucky number? Not if you’re “Jeopardy!” champ Ken Jennings!
Jennings won for the 13th consecutive time on “Jeopardy!” last night, extending his record and adding another $30,000 to his total winnings – which now stand at over $440,000.
Jennings has averaged $34,000 in each of his 13 wins as he closes in on $500,000 and “Jeopardy!” immortality.
He correctly answered last night’s Final Jeopardy question: “In 1582, the man born Ugo Buoncompagni proclaimed this solar dating system still used today” (“What is the Gregorian calendar?”). Jennings steamrolled over Ellen Cooke, a freelance writer, and Bret Bradigan, a newspaper publisher.
