Going over Ken's historic 30th game. Also occurring on this day is Jerry Frankel, the first ever Tournament of Champions winner of the Trebek era, passing away 36 years ago.
I'd forgotten that Ken got Final wrong and just barely passed a million in that game; interesting coincidence considering that in the game where Amy broke a million, her FJ wager was exactly enough that if she'd been wrong, she would've had exactly 1,000,000 (but then she got it right).
what i thought was kind of interesting is that amy's 28-day total on board appeared as "28-DAY CHAMPION" at first before showing her total of $1,019,600. like the layout for her total was different.
ooh yeah, i remember noticing that too. Wasn't it also kinda similar to the rotating name cards they used for the Professors Tournament? I guess next time someone wins a million in regular play we'll see whether that was just a one-off
