Ken Jennings is from UTAH...

Because it is in a Crossword Puzzle! Sunday's syndicated puzzle by Merl Reagle (appears in the Philly Inquirer, and SF Herald Examiner, among others) had 75-Down clued as "Home of Jeopardy! whiz Ken Jennings."

Beats having it clued as "the Beehive State" yet again. Thanks, Merl.

(BTW, Merl Reagle was a game show writer at one time. I believe he worked on "The Challengers".)

 Which had crossword legend Stan Newman as its biggest winner. Reagle was listed as a writer or researcher on Sparks Crosswits.
