At this point, Ken Jennings can most definitely be called a Jeopardy veteran. That’s arguably been the case since 2003/2004 when he had his original record-breaking winning streak on the legendary game show, but he can even be called a veteran as a host now as he goes into his third year with the gig. Even with all of that experience, however, the guy just can’t help but be a total Jeopardy geek, as well-illustrated by a recent social media activity.
Jennings treasures the history of the series and the legacy of the great Alex Trebek, and if you didn’t know that before, you can recognize it in a post he put on Instagram this week. Independently, the photo seems a bit out of left field, as it features the Jeopardy host in a mirror holding up a pink afro pick, but the caption offers delightful context: it’s the hair tool that Trebek used backstage to maintain what is lovingly referred to as “the CanFro (Canadian afro).” You can check out the post for yourself below:
