Known for his impressive memory, Ken Jennings shocked Jeopardy! fans with another talent.
Jeopardy!’s Instagram account posted a video of Ken asking former contestants questions but when reading them, he changed his voice to go with the theme. The clip showed Ken doing voice impressions of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Marvin the Martian, a character from the Wizard of Oz, Daffy Duck and more.
Ken is a man of many talents. Before he became the host of the ABC trivia show, he was a contestant and appeared on season 20 of Jeopardy! in 2004. He went on an entire five months winning streak without a loss.
Jeopardy! fans were impressed with Ken’s voice impressions and even gave the show ideas on some he should do. One person commented: “I didn’t know I needed to hear Ken’s Marvin the Martian impression.” Another person wrote: “Okay Ken [laughing face emoji] keep up the good work.” A third wrote: “Now he just has to do Gilbert Gottfried and Michael Winslow from Police Academy.” A fourth wrote: “How can you not love Ken?!? [purple heart emoji]”
Viewers at home are waiting for the show to go back to it’s regular programming as it is currently on summer break and airing reruns. The streaming service Pluto had a 24/7 channel for both Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune, but it stopped running after its two-year licensing deal came to an end. The Jeopardy! Instagram account then posted a video, showing comments from fans begging for the streaming platform to bring it back.
