This current Jeopardy! champ that is on a hot streak has a similar smile as Eddie Vedder

I knew it looked familiar but the guy keeps winning and his cheesy smile reminded me a bit of Ed.  Anyone else think the same?

    That is so funny, because I've mentioned a few times that I think that guy badly needs smiling lessons. :lol:

    See no likeness with Ed, but if he answered a PJ question, I'm impressed.  You all do realize we're in the minority right?  Even a song as popular as Betterman . . .  I bet if I polled every person I work with tomorrow, less than 30% would even recognize the name Pearl Jam.  And some who do, know the name because of ME.  But that's served us well for years, we're a close knit fan base.  However, since I'm here and commenting now, they need to put out some new music.  And soon.  
    Don't come closer or I'll have to go

    I was trying to make it sound as dumb as the original question asked...  Like, there isn't a 5000 question.

    He's right next to $2,000,000 now, in only 26 days I think. Insane. Off topic I guess, but man, I am impressed. The way this guy's brain works is stunning and fascinating to me. I haven't watched much Jeopardy for a long time now, but he's caused me to come back to it just so I can watch an extraordinary, freakish mind at work (also I forgot how fun it is to get the  answers to the questions right!).... dude still needs to work on that weird smile he sometimes does though. If EV smiled like that I'd think he was pissed off or super high or something, lol).

    Nate the lawyer almost took him down tonight. Had James on the ropes but only bet $6,000 on his last daily double to get his total up to about $19,000. You have to know your enemy and be willing to gamble all or none when you hit these daily doubles. If you have $15,000-$20,000, hit the DD, and feel somewhat confident with the category you HAVE to bet it all. It’s going to be a fellow gambler that beats James. The two women the night before were like deer in the headlights. One finished with something like -$2,400, and the other wasn’t much better. He’s been brilliant.
