The Re-Definition and Destruction of a Game Show Ho
So back when KenJen was the ruler of the Jeopoardy Universe I frequently blogged on how evil he was, and how he was the ultimate game show ho.
The original etymology of "game show ho" was someone who is willing to ho themselves out to whatever game show will have them. Who make a life out of trying out for and participating in various game shows.
But KenJen decided to take his luck, which turned him into a celebrity, and now is hoing himself out to any company that will pay him as he shills for too damn many products on the TV. I wonder if everything he's hoing himself out to is mormon-friendly? And as long as they get their 10% do they care?
ANYHOW, Jeopardy also chose to capitalize on the ho's hoing, and had the ULTIMATE TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS, bringing back all the super-studs of past years, pitting them in competition against each other, and putting the final two survivors against KenJen in a battle for two million dollars.
The finals were three nights long. KenJen didn't win a single night. The first night it was close, but at the end of night two Brad Rutter was ahead by $12,000 +, and he ran away with it the third night. That's right, HE KICKED KENJEN'S ASS! AND he is now the highest-winning game-show contestant in history, so take THAT Mr. Ho!
Sweetie thinks I have it in for KenJen. And he's right. I don't like the guy. Mainly because everyone, including himself, seemed to think he was hot shit for doing as well as he did for as long as he did at Jeopardy, but a little bit of luck and some changes in the rules and it could have happened to any of a number of people.
