Proof that all good things really do come to an end

Ken Jennings lost on Jeopardy today after a 74-game winning streak that netted him over $2.5 million. He was ahead going into Final Jeopardy, but not overwhelmingly ahead like he usually is. He had $14,400 vs. his opponent's (only one made it to Final Jeopardy) $10,000. This was due to his missing two Daily Double wagers and none of the contestants being able to answer what I consider to be some really stupid categories. Plus they decided use a lame marketing ploy and tied the episode into the release of the "Seinfeld" DVDs, so they had categories that were about the show or were formatted to match the show in some way. So basically, it was a commercial for the DVDs. All in all, it was just not a good episode all around.
