To me, it loos like a near-rehash of the endgame of WBSM (30 questions, see how many more than Ken you can get right...) But I think it will sell, to trivia game fans and Ken Jennings fans, alike...

FWIW, that game should sell pretty well.  I suppose Ken will have his face embossed on the box cover on a blue background much like J!'s monitor color.  At 30 questions, it should be a fairly medium paced feel to it.  I wonder how many overall questions will be available come March?  And hopefully, the DVD version is just what I need on a long car trip next year.

And just think, if it sells well, why not Win Ken Jennings' Money?  

Just saying is all.

Whoever wrote that came straight out of one of the Perfesser's classes:

"Do you know the question to Ken's recent winning Jeopardy! answer?"

...followed by the H&R Block clue, quite possibly the most famous WRONG answer of his tenure.

It's editing like that that gives me incredibly high hopes for this title. Or maybe that's just gas.

Win Ken Jennings' Money?

I'm putting TWO MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED TWENTY-TWO THOUSAND AND SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS OF MY MONEY on the line tonight...

Call me crazy...

And now the H&R Block to my FedEx, Nancy Zerg.

Look at it this way...he could make it available in $5,000 chunks like Ben did, and even if he lost every game, he'd still be good for FIVE HUNDRED SHOWS.

I could even see a cross between WBSM and 100%...

Three contestants and Ken are posed 100 multiple-choice questions. Winner between the three contestants gets a prize. Beat Ken too, they get a bigger prize.

I didn't read the PR until after I posted it, but my jaw dropped when I read it.

One question I have always had about University Games. That's not the same Bob Moog who invented the synthesizer, right?

Don't know about that.

I did find it interesting that this year, University Games has succombed to produced fee plugs instead of art card/slide fee plugs--but at least they hired Charlie O'Donnell to do the voice-overs in the spots.

According to:

http://www.thestreet.com/pf/comment/silico...eet/759246.html

he claims THAT Robert Moog is a cousin. So, no.

What I wanna know, in a fit of hockey deprivation, is how he is related to well-travelled goaltender Andy Moog...
