Who is Jerome Vered?

The answer is: He's the first of two players set to meet Ken Jennings in a 3 game play-off in the Jeopardy Ultimate Tournament of Champions.

He's also more. He's not just a John Lovitz look-alike. For 10 years, he held the single game winnings record on Jeopardy. It was only beaten after they doubled the dollar values. Several years after his Jeopardy appearance, he won Ben Stein's money. In fact, he was so good at that, that he was hired to work behind the scenes on Ben Stein's show.

The bottom line: watch out Ken Jennings, you've got your hands full.
