A8 A8 Monday, July 12, 2004 NATION www.thedailyjournal.com The Daily Journal All-time champ closes in on $1M LOS ANGELES If the answer is Ken Jennings and his record $920,960 so far in "Jeopardy!" winnings, the question must be how does he do i it? A curious mind, good memory and astute buzzer technique, said a Utah software engineer who will make an unprecedented 29th appearance on the syndicated quiz show tonight. "A lot of it is just God given memory that I can't take any credit for," he said. "I've always been interested in a lot of different fields. It's not just that I'm a computer engineer and all I care about is computers." Playing "Jeopardy!" fulfills a longtime dream, said Jennings, By LYNN ELBER Associated Press Writer answer record must A and "A memory credit been care longtime 30, although he concedes the cash prize is a bit dreamy, too. "It's enough fun that the money's just icing on the cake," he told The Associated Press.
"But there seems to be a lot of icing." There's also an unexpected measure of celebrity. A few "Jeopardy!" champs have caught the public eye such as New York City transit cop Frank Spangenberg with his then-record winnings in 1990 but it's typically the challenging game itself that's the star. Jennings' run that started airing June 2 has changed that, especially as he nears $1 million. Today, he's set to appear on ABC's "Good Morning America" and on CBS' "Late Show with David Letterman." Not bad for a family man who gives a self-deprecating shake of the head when his cash total is announced and whose boldest gesture is adding a flourish to his name on the player ID screen. Jennings is making the most of a change in "Jeopardy!" rules.
To mark the start of its 20th season last September, the quiz show lifted its five game limit for winners and allowed them to keep going until they lose. On the show, which is taped in advance and crams five shows (a week's worth) into one day of production, players are given answers in a wide variety of categories and must quickly buzz in to pose the correct question.
