Jeopardy! is one of the best game shows of all time, and that's arguably due to just how engaging it is to watch at home. It’s always impressive seeing just how much contestants know as well as what they don’t know. Of course, with it being a game show, there will always be screw-ups from participants once in a while. So what's it like for host Ken Jennings to watch people mess up and not be able to help them? Well, Jennings recently told a heartbreaking story, and it really illustrates his experience.
If anyone knows what it’s like to be a Jeopardy! contestant, it’s Jennings. Before stepping in as host following the death of Alex Trebek, he broke the record for the longest winning streak on Jeopardy! With 74 consecutive wins under his belt, Jennings is the all-time record holder still to this day and is one of the biggest Jeopardy! winners.
