A three way tie occurred on Jeopardy this Friday for the first time ever, beating roughly one in 25 million odds. All three contestants answered the final Jeopardy question correcly with “Who is Bonnie Parker,” of the Bonnie and Clyde crime duo, as the woman who coincidentally was a waitress who served one of the men who shot her. They each ended with a even $16,000 and will be back on the show today.

Apart from an 83 year-old woman I used to visit, I don’t know anyone else that watches Jeopardy regularly. It’s kind of interesting show that loses it’s appeal after a few episodes. My husband and I watched it during the Ken Jennings phenomenon because that guy was so damn smart and funny-cute.

Jennings has a blog, in which he says that Jeopardy is trying to milk this phenomenon for all it’s worth, but that it won’t be of much interest to anyone other than trivia and odds nerds:

My old pal Jeff Ritter, Jeopardy! publicist, has been trying to alert people all week to the never-before-seen occurrence on Jeopardy! tonight. Warning: it’s not the kind of amazing event that will be showing up in headlines and YouTube tomorrow, and Great Game Show Moments clip specials for the next decade. This is not the Price Is Right boob-slip (or whatever the nearest Jeopardy! equivalent of that would be). It’s fanboy trivia. But if you’re a Jeopardy!-ite like I am, and the show’s not pre-empted tonight for basketball in your market, you might want to set your TiVo.

The most famous and long-running Jeopardy contestant ever, Jennings won 3 million on the show after appearing on 74 consecutive episodes in 2004 and placing second in the Ultimate Tournament of Champions. Ken Jennings has a book out called Brainaic about the history of the trivia movement, and you can pit yourself against him with the board game Can You Beat Ken? It’s kind of wonder that he didn’t get his own game show, but there seems to be a limited market for them.
