Ken Jennings returns to host 'Jeopardy!,' crossing picket line in the process

I’m admittedly biased in Ken’s favor, but I’m also a union supporter. The way I see this: 1) with his producer credit, Ken is technically one of the bad guys anyway; and 2) it’s just one more week of production in the season and these incoming contestants—not show biz professionals and who have probably waited years to do this—have already sunk money into transportation and lodging and deserve to have their shot.

It’s too complicated a situation to just yell “scab.” If the strike drags out over the summer, I’ll bet anyone a handful of magic beans that Ken will respect the picket line.
