Moscowan Vandalizes Jeopardy! Foes

Mark Runsvold of Moscow, who promised to vandalize the competition, won $48,000 on Jeopardy! Friday -- and will try to add to his big winnings on the show again today. In a Jeopardy! promo, Runsvold introduced himself by asking viewers to watch him as he "vandalizes the competition." In a separate interview for Jeopardy's "Winners Circle," Runsvold said he wasn't expecting anything, adding that he simply didn't want to embarrass himself. He said he prepared for "Jeopardy!" by reading Ken Jennings book, "Brainiac," as well as several Almanacs, and getting up to speed on current TV shows & movies of which, he said, he's "pretty ignorant of that stuff." You can see Runsvold explaining what it's like to be a Jeopardy! winner here.

Question: Do you watch Jeopardy!
