I have come from the future to answer your question!
Brad Rutter won. Some random five-day champion from back in the day. It gave him the title of winningest game show contestant ever in terms of dollar amount.
Ken took the title back after winning $500,000 on Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?, and won back his honor by beating Brad in the Watson match. Watson still beat both of them by a huge margin, of course, but Ken is still the only human to ever beat Brad at Jeopardy.
So yeah, in case you were still wondering.
The UToC was pretty comprehensive, even if it was pretty much just thrown together around Ken, and they've already had the two best players play against a robot. Where do they go now?
Have they done an actual celebrity one lately? The last one I remember was the one where Wolf Blitzer got his ass thoroughly kicked by Andy Richter, and that was like two years ago. Celebrities vs. Champions could be fun to watch, especially if there's a few celebrities mixed in who are actually smart (like Andy Richter). I'd love to see Lady Gaga playing against Ken Jennings, especially if it turned out she was pretty smart. And either way, it'd be great for ratings. Lots of people aren't at all up on who the famous Jeopardy players are, so their names alone wouldn't draw them in, and lots of people don't know and/or don't care about celebrities, so celebrities alone wouldn't draw them, but this would bring in Jeopardy fans, celebrity fans, and people who don't know either but want to see famous people playing against smart people. It could introduce a whole new generation to Jeopardy greats like Eddie Timanus (the blind guy).
So, who would you guys want to see on Celebrities vs. Champions?
