Brad Rutter puts the smack down on Ken Jen.
I didn't write until now because I thought Joe might post about it, but Brad Rutter won the Ultimate Tournament of Champions on Jeopardy this past week. In fact, the final round match wasn't even close. Rutter won all three games by a comfortable margin and he could not be beaten going into the last Final Jeopardy.
So Brad Rutter had been the high money winner on Jeopardy after winning the $1 million tournament at some point. Then Ken Jen comes out and wins $2 million and change by winning 74 in a row, an impressive stretch by any account. But Rutter took back the crown by winning $2 million in the final round and I wonder if he also gets the cash from the first 3 games he played, probably about $40,000 per game on average. So now Rutter is the all time money winner on any game show ever. He's won more than $3 million playing Jeopardy. That's some ill shiznit.
He didn't breeze through the entire competition, by the way. Rutter was getting killed in one game and he got lucky and was the only one who answered Final Jeopardy correctly so he won the game.
So Ken Jen is going to start hosting a game show on Comedy Central. I guess someone had the same idea I did. Also if you look at that post you'll see that I predicted he would win the Tournament of Champions pretty handily, when in fact he didn't. I guess we all can't be right all the time.
So if you want to win a date with Brad Rutter, then you should get in touch with Joe, who's his friend and who's apparently also his pimp. Keep it real, Rutter.
