Tim's Jeopardy Appearance

In 2004 I was on "Jeopardy!", where I lost to all-time champ Ken Jennings. Here is a "highlight reel" of my episode, edited down the best parts with some commentary by me.

it seams to me, that you got your ass kicked, is pissed about it, so you made this video, saying that you don't need to know shit, just be good on the buzzer? no, your just fucking stupid and didn't know the answers, don't be a bitch just because your not the smartest fucking guy in the world

[TimCrockett]

@kublkun I wasn't trying to say that at all. Just wanted to let people know about that side of the show. He definitely knew more answers and beat me fair and square. Although I would say that while I'm not the smartest guy in the world, at least I'm not an asshole like you.

who hasn't heard of an avalanche?

[TimCrockett]

@hansenq That was sarcasm, sorry if I wasn't more clear.

[heyyayy]

ken seems like a dick but he definitely had more factual knowledge

[TimCrockett]

@heyyayy He's a really nice guy. I wanted to hate him but he was too gracious of a winner.

You must be bitter. You had your fifteen minutes stamped out by Ken.

@Tony63909 ditto. Great video. It must be very frustrating with that buzzer..

@TimCrockett Thankyou for an extremely interesting behind-the-scenes look at being a contestant on "Jeopardy".It proves that luck plays such an important part in winning at anything.Do you think it would be better if the challengers had more time to get used to buzzing in?

I'm 54 years old and I remember the old version of "Jeopardy" with Don Pardo. In that version, the contestant could ring in any time. Do you think that this should be the case in this "Jeopardy"?

Thanks again for uploading.

Great commentary. Great job. Ken is the man though. I remember his streak like yesterday.

I didn't see this as petty at all. I can only imagine how much more difficult it is when you're actually playing as opposed to just spouting off answers at the TV.

I will say, I thought your explanatory intro was hilarious.

[vainguitarist]

this IS pretty petty stuff, dude. tons of other people upload videos of themselves losing without douchey captions explaining *how they just couldn't win because the odds were so stacked against them.* he won millions of dollars--you don't have to be so defensive.

[ZACKnirvana]

is he a cyborg? or does he just have no life?
