I think they payed him to lose.


I remember I was at Dylans, and the questions he was getting wrong, we're the sort of things I would know.


And think about it, after that long, viewers stopped watching, some probably just assumed he was going to win time after time. So if they pay him more to take a dive, the viewers flood (wait..this is Jeopardy...the viewers trickle) back to watch it.

And thus the Future mormon robot cycle of life is complete.

Peter Jennings was parodied in Team America: World Police. The creators of that movie should feel ashamed of themselves right about now. Oh well, not even a story of an overzealous gang of anti-terrorist "global peace" enforcers known as Team America can taint Peter's numerous achievements including:

• 14 National Emmys
• 2 George Peabody Awards
• Several Overseas Press Club Awards
• Several Alfred du Pont Columbia University Awards for Journalism
• Edward R. Murrow Lifetime Achievement Award from Washington State University, 2004

Fun Fact #37: Did you know that Peter Jennings was a Canandian who didn't attain full American citizenship until 2003?

GM, why should they be ashamed? How were they do know he would die this soon? He didnt even reveal he had lung cancer until long after the movie was out ON DVD
