    Ken wrote a book about his trivia "career", in which he makes it clear that he did NOT throw the game. He does acknowledge, however, that he was distracted by the media hype surrounding him, and that probably contributed to his loss. He also says the hype distracted Nancy Zerg, and probably contributed to her loss the next day.

    Apparently people who say he threw the game didn’t watch the episode. Jennings had made poor bets on the daily doubles and he’s not Meryl Streep to hide his disappointment at missing those. She was just in the right place at the right time and to say he threw it really unfairly knocks her victory.

    The second longest winning streak so far is 32 wins set by James Holzhauer in 2019. Though he did not even get halfway to tying Ken's winning streak, he came VERY CLOSE to tying/breaking Ken's record of total winnings of $2.52 million but ended up with $2.46 million. Roughly he fell short, $59,000. But made the hall of fame as the new record holder of most amount won in a single of $131,127. The previous record was $77,000 and during his run, James surpassed that amount 15 TIMES! Even if someone surpasses his winning streak, I doubt they'll be able to break his single day record.... unless they have more guts than he did. ;) But just like Ken who gave his defeater a hug for winning, James gave his defeater a high five for winning. Good sportsmanship to them both.

    Wouldn't be surprised if they somehow convinced him to throw this one (maybe involved large pay off or something). People who do taxes or other seasonal work would be an AVERAGE person's first guess. Who would logically guess mail (literally every American knows mail is distributed year round)

    The thing was I think he didn't pay attention to the phrase "white collar." He focused on the "four months." Clearly he was thinking of the Christmas shopping season. To me, H&R Block was the obvious answer because it fulfills both parts of the clue perfectly. Were I to think of the Christmas season I would have also thought of UPS and for the delivery purposes, that would really be Mid October to mid December and that comes to two months. But under pressure with seconds to come up with an answer I can see why he might have been distracted and came up with the wrong answer.
