Tuesday
The $1M question
Game Show Gains!
Ken Jennings' solid run on 'Jeopardy!' has landed him $972,960. Think you can do the same?
During his 29th romp on "Jeopardy!," Ken Jennings dominated the first two categories before his opponents could even find their buzzers.
Landing a spot of "Jeopardy!" may be as competitive as the game. The process of elimination begins with a 50-question test and is quickly followed by a mock game, videotaped by host Alex Trebek. Making it past either round isn't a guarantee you'll be called in for an actual taping either. The producers keep an active file of candidates for the show and call people in as needed.
"Who Wants to be a Millionaire" has the best payout potential, thanks to the $10 million Super Millionaire contest, the show has given away more money than any other program on the air. The biggest game show gain, $2.18 million won by Dr. Kevin Olmstead in April 2001, also came from the "Millionaire" ranks.
If you're ready to get your game on, both Jeopardy!" and "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" are holding auditions.
Just remember, how well you play the game determines how much you win. more..
