I just noticed this announcement Ken Jennings made on Thursday:
http://www.ken-jennings.com/blog/
Before I forget: fellow quiz show seven-figure types Ed Toutant, Kevin Olmstead, Nancy Christy, and I will all be appearing on the Internet radio quiz show Anyone Can Play on Shokus Internet Radio the week before Christmas.
A chance for our BBs to revenge their Grand Slam defeats!
Ken doesn't mention if Shokus is bumping up the usual $35 prize for first place, for this champion event.

Oh, a celebrity charity edition! That's nice.

IIRC, a smattering of BBs can be heard competing on the December shows leading up to the Celebrity Edition, too.

The $35 prize went by the boards months ago - my second appearance, I got a DVD and a couple of board games (better, IMHO, than a $35 check)

Top prize money now is $75.
There's a new host, too.

I will be tuning in this week and next, for sure.
