This Week's Pulse

Ken Jennings appeared on Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! this week, where host Peter Sagal poked fun at his historic Jeopardy! career. Sagal introduced him by noting, "Today, we are thrilled to welcome Ken Jennings, the host of Jeopardy!," before jokingly questioning if the various iterations of the guest—author, winner, and host—actually know one another.

The appearance centered on a Not My Job trivia segment where Jennings faced questions about H&R Block. Sagal set the stakes by saying, "If you answer two to three questions about H&R Block, you will win our prize for one of our listeners."

Outside of the radio studio, Jennings has been busy curating his personal brand, recently naming the FX series Reservation Dogs as his favorite watch. He also shared a glimpse behind the scenes of his new shared workspace with Joe Buck, the host of the upcoming ESPN spin-off, proving that the "Jeopardy!" ecosystem is as much about the dressing room snacks as it is about the buzzer.
