Ken Jennings

Ken Jennings (b. 1974) gained fame for setting the record for the longest winning streak on the game show Jeopardy! Jennings won 74 games before he was defeated by challenger Nancy Zerg on his 75th appearance. His total earnings on Jeopardy! were $3,022,700. He was named a consulting producer for the show in 2020.[1] Following the passing of Alex Trebek in 2021, Jennings was one of several guest hosts and became a permanent co-host with Mayim Bialik in 2022.

Jennings appeared on Sesame Street in Season 36, appearing in a Healthy Moment segment with Grover. In the segment, Grover asks him to name something that is sweet and full of vitamins. In the form of a question, Jennings answers, "What is a fruit?" and gets it correct. His prize is a Muppet pineapple.

As co-host of the podcast Omnibus, he has made passing Sesame Street references including to "I Can Remember".[2]
