Bad link.

Ummm... No it's not, unless you changed it in the last 10 minutes.

I agree. I saw it. No one can replace Bill Cullen!

Google says otherwise!

And, just for good measure...

Al Gore didn't invent the internet until Bill had been established. If Google had been around in 1956, Bill would have creamed Ken (since I don't think Ken was born yet).

Bill would probably lose in a contest between him and Britney Spears also. Likewise, Dan Rather would probably get more hits than Walter Cronkite. Using Google search numbers is an unfair comparison.

Well, it's not unfair to compare Alex to Ken, is it? And, the fact that Ken easily beats Alex ought to tell you that Ken would beat Bill even if he was "in his prime" now.

How many of those references are actually about the J! champ? You can bet all the "Trebek" references are about Alex.

It's amazing how a couple of months completely overwrites four decades.

Well, I didn't count, but I'd guess that 99% of them are about the Jeopardy! champ. Is there another Ken Jennings that I don't know about?

Your logic is Karlbergian in it's utter inanity.

Several, as a matter of fact. And while a great many of the Google searches are probably for the Jeopardy champ, I'm sure it's nowhere near 99%. It may even be less than 50%.

For example, if your search term goes from "ken jennings" to "ken Jennings" + jeopardy, the hits go from 57,600 to 24,400. And I doubt that there are too many references to THAT Ken Jennings that don't also mention Jeopardy.

As a matter of fact, if you do "ken jennings" MINUS jeopardy, you immediately find a successful stage actor by that name, who's probably responsible for thousands of those hits alone.

Let me guess, you have a Bill Cullen poster hanging in your room, don't you?
