'Jeopardy!' Champion Ken Jennings to Compete on WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE

Former "Jeopardy!" champion Ken Jennings will be featured as a contestant on "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" on Friday, November 14 and Monday, November 17, 2014.

Jennings will take on the challenge as part of Millionaire's Guinness World Records Edition theme week as he is the "Former Guinness World Records Title-Holder for the Largest Cash Prize Won on a TV Game Show." (He currently remains the second-highest-earning contestant in U.S. game show history.)

Ten years ago in November 2004, Jennings won 74 games in a row on "Jeopardy!," defeating 149 opponents and winning $2,520,700. And now for the first time, Jennings will put his skills to the test opposite host Terry Crews on the iconic game show "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire," which continues to be the only game show to offer a $1 million prize to each and every contestant! Unlike his previous game show experience, Jennings will face 14 cleverly written trivia questions with the help of three lifelines -- "Ask the Audience," "Jump the Question" and "Plus One."
