Is anybody else watching this? I am sure I am biased because Ken Jennings lives a few blocks away from me, but I find it to be as suspenseful as any sporting event. It's like McEnroe vs. Borg vs. Connors (oops, I mean it's like Federer vs. Nadal vs. Djokovic). 

I don't know about the other two contestants, but Ken Jennings is a funny guy. Every year he does a trivia night as a fundraiser for our local community center (along with another local top 10 Jeopardy champ), and the one a few months back was a hilarious send up of James Holzhauser - the guy who looked on pace to supplant Jennings' record number of wins, but came up short. Sample categories: Famous Second Place Finishers, Questions that He Missed that I Wouldn't Have, etc. 

I wonder if this was Alex Trebek's idea, in light of his health situation. Crown an all-time champ to end this era.

Is that in the Seattle area?  Or in Utah?  Or somewhere else?
