  17 days, $552,959. Those are the total winnings for Ken on Jeopardy! . Since they doubled the clue values a couple of years ago, I've been waiting for this. At first, it seemed people gambled more and winners weren't making much more than before values were doubled.
Now that they've taken away the 5-day winning cap, it has been a blast to watch this guy who, to the avid watcher, has become as common to the show as Alex Trebek. This has become such a story that it was a topic of conversation on ESPN's daily afternoon debate-fest, Pardon the Interruption . All I know is that when Ken is gone, he will take a big check back home to Utah and will leave a record that will be extremely difficult to break.
