'Grand Slam' and 'Jeopardy' Champ Ken Jennings Drops in on 'GSN LIVE'
Wednesday, March 19

    SANTA MONICA, Calif., March 17 /PRNewswire/ -- One of the most
recognizable game show contestants of all-time, and recent winner of last
year's "Grand Slam" tournament series on GSN, Ken Jennings will be dropping by
GSN LIVE(TM) Wednesday, March 19 from Noon to 3PM ET/ 9AM to Noon PT.  Host
Fred Roggin and Heidi Bohay will catch up with the "Greatest Jeopardy Winner"
and chat with Jennings about his latest book Ken Jennings Trivia Almanac -
8,888 Questions in 365 Days.
    With a record-setting 74-game winning streak, yielding $2.52 million in
total winnings, Jennings' stature as the preeminent game show contestant was
elevated last September after besting 15 other top US game show winners on
GSN's "Grand Slam." In the finals, Jennings faced off against Who Wants to be
a Millionaire's Ogi Ogas, a brain science graduate student at Boston
University, to win the grand prize and the coveted "Grand Slam" trophy.
    During his time with Fred and Heidi, Jennings plans to delve into GSN
LIVE's own on-air games with insights and tips for players at home on how to
be a winning contestant.
