Ken Jennings is celebrating a milestone birthday. As the 'Jeopardy!' champion-turned-game show host turns 50, here is a look back at his journey on the show. Jennings' record-breaking win Jennings made his 'Jeopardy!' debut in June 2004, going on to appear in 74 episodes and setting a record for the longest consecutive winning streak in the show's history. The record has yet to be broken by another contestant.
The win came with a $1 million prize, bumping Jennings' total winnings from all his appearances up to over $4 million. Trivia master Due to his many appearances on 'Jeopardy!,' Jennings became known as a trivia master, landing him a place on various other trivia-related game shows. From 2008 to 2009, he was featured in 'Stump the Master,' which gave the at-home audience a chance to win $1,000 by calling in and asking Jennings a question with the hope of stumping him.
In October 2020, Alex Trebek filmed his last episode of 'Jeopardy!' after hosting for 37 seasons. He died one month later, in November 2020, from pancreatic cancer. After many guest hosts, it was announced in July 2022 that Jennings and 'Big Bang Theory' actress Mayim Bialik would be splitting hosting duties.
