We make Ken Jennings relive the worst moment of his life

This week, legendary Jeopardy champion and host Ken Jennings joins panelists Tom Bodett, Joyelle Nicole Johnson, and Faith Salie to talk swearing on air and making up little lies to tell Alex Trebek Correction: This episode incorrectly says that H&R Block owns the copyright for GIFs and that CompuServe, which H&R Block purchased in 1980, had owned the patent for the GIF. In fact, CompuServe invented the GIF, but another company, Unisys, owned the patent on the underlying technology, which expired in 2003.
