We watched one episode with him in it, and my wife and I were like, "What an ahole."

We'll wait till he loses to watch again. He makes it so unpleasant.

He's a bartender. Likely a good listener. Not everybody a bit unusual is on some spectrum...

Ken Jennings won over $2.5 million in his 74 game run back in 2004.

I think 3 extra 000s snuck in there.

Alex admires him because he is so "Bright" as Alex would put it.

Smart guy but not as easy to watch as Ken Jennings
.

I feel the opposite, I agreed with whomever it was that said Ken Jennings had the personality of a hall monitor while Austin doesn't seem to take himself too seriously. There were also reports that when Jennings left the show he had some rather unkind things to say about Trebek and the show which I thought was poor form.

True - watch his interview on GMA: Viral 'Jeopardy' winner describes his success Video - ABC News

He has a history degree and almost had a music major as well. He reads, watches documentaries, and is a general knowledge nerd per one interview I read. He's also done stand up and MC'd a number of fundraisers so his antics are a result of that. He seems like a happy go lucky guy with the ability to remember lots of useless information.

He's painful to watch and reminds me of the Troll Dolls I collected in the Seventh Grade.

I say "snuck." But I'm from New Jersey (where we also say "sherbert," or did before we started eating sorbet in its place).

BTW, I "must spread some Reputation around before giving it to tamiznluv again."
