[[WMG: ''Jeopardy!'' has been rigged on occasion.]]
Yes, on rare occasion, the producers slip the questions to a contestant in advance.
* Evidence for this? I was a contestant, and the security was state-secret level. Nobody knows which board will be used until minutes before the show, and we were instructed not to speak to any staff lest we pry.
** Rigging quiz shows in any way has been a crime since 1960, with the amending of the federal Communications Act. No way ''Jeopardy!'' is going to risk a hit to their reputation like that.

[[WMG: Ken Jennings lost on purpose.]]
* His playing style was completely different on his last day, most notably in Final Jeopardy. Usually if he answered wrong in Final Jeopardy, he was pretty close to the right answer. On the day he lost, his answer was nowhere near correct. It was like he wasn't even trying that day. Most likely he decided "Ah heck, I've been on here long enough. I wanna go home and start spending this money I've been winning."

[[WMG: Ken Jennings will host the show after Trebek retires.]]
* Alex mentioned some of the contestants wanting to replace him as host of this show. Certain discussions at jboard recognized his expiring contract. Ken Jennings would seem a obvious candidate to replace him if Alex does not refresh the contract, with Ken's notability with the show. Might not work too well if Ken is too wired to answer the questions as they come up rather than reading them.
