When it comes to quiz shows, no one has done it better than Ken Jennings. He is the winningest contestant in game show history.

A former software engineer, Ken rose to fame in 2004 when he spent six months as a contestant on Jeopardy! His 75-game streak and $2.52 million in winnings are still Jeopardy! records today.

During his youth, Ken spent 15 years in South Korea and Singapore where his father practiced law. He spent many afternoons watching Jeopardy! and dreamed of being on the show. He achieved that goal, and beyond! He has since been named the show’s “Greatest of All Time” (aka: the Jeopardy GOAT) and is currently hosting the nightly game show.

Each year, Port Huron’s Town Hall presents a series of four programs on Monday mornings at 10:30 am at the McMorran Place Theatre.

Port Huron Town Hall offers a luncheon immediately after each lecture, which is another opportunity to share in the speaker’s unique experiences and perspectives. The luncheons are currently held at the Port Huron Golf Club (4101 Fairway Dr, Fort Gratiot, MI 48059) and feature Q & A time with the speaker.

Reservations must be made in advance as space is limited. Luncheon reservations are for ticket holders only and are non-refundable.
