Ken Jennings<\/strong><\/a> made a surprising career pivot \u2026 and you probably didn\u2019t see this one coming.<\/p>\n

These days, fans know Ken as the host of the hit quiz series Jeopardy!<\/em><\/a>. As someone who not only leads the show today, but who holds the record for all-time Jeopardy!<\/em> victories with 74 consecutive wins, it\u2019s difficult to imagine Ken not knowing the answer to a tough question.<\/p>\n

Still, it turns out, the wise guy doesn\u2019t know everything<\/em>, as he shared in a surprise announcement on Instagram<\/a> on March 1.<\/p>\n

\n

As he posed in front of a poster for the Off-Broadway musical The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee<\/em><\/a>, Ken revealed he was the surprise guest pulled onstage to participate in the fictional spelling bee. Cool, right? Well, he also admitted to losing the competition. Luckily, the loss came with a sweet consolation prize.<\/p>\n

\u201cBig news, I made my Off-Broadway debut yesterday!\u201d he wrote in the caption. \u201cBad news: friends, I lost. Big news, they give you a juice box when you lose!\u201d<\/p>\n
