Description
One day back in 2003, Ken Jennings and his college buddy Earl did what hundreds of thousands of people had done before; they auditioned for Jeopardy! Two years, 75 games, 2,642 correct answers, and over $2.5 million in winnings later, Ken Jennings emerged as trivia's undisputed king. Brainiac traces his rise from anonymous computer programmer to nerd folk icon.
