Ken Jennings has been working with Mental Floss for about a decade, creating his signature Kennections quizzes where users have to complete a five-question trivia challenge before figuring out the common connection, or “Kennection,” between the answers. While speaking with Mental Floss in 2025, the Jeopardy! host and trivia expert explained his strategy for coming up with the challenging puzzles.

“So the trick of Kennections is the questions all have to work on their own as trivia, but then the answers have to work for an overarching theme. And that’s the tricky part,” Jennings shared with us. “It generally hinges on things having double meanings, you know? Superman is a comic book, but he’s also a movie. He’s also an exercise. He’s also an R.E.M. song. You know, Superman can be a lot of things, and generally, it’s in those Wikipedia disambiguation pages of double meanings that I come up with these ideas.”

Some of Jennings’s most popular Kennections quizzes on Mental Floss over the years have included topics ranging from Russian novels and Oscar nominations to space capsules and famous people with the name “Eddie.” With a strong passion for trivia across a variety of different categories, the Daytime Emmy Award winner knows how to challenge people with many interests, like you’re watching an episode of Jeopardy!.

If you, like us, love watching new episodes of Jeopardy!, you’ll be happy to know that the long-running NBC game show has been renewed for two more seasons, and you can expect Jennings to serve as host for both. In 2025, the former software engineer shed some light on his future as the show’s host, telling TV Insider:

“The last host worked into his 80s. Traditionally, it’s not a job you retire from. I didn’t know at the time, but now that I have a few years under my belt, I think I understand why Alex wanted to do it. It’s just such an incredibly fun job. You’re playing along with the smartest folks and getting to see them do their thing up close. I really feel very lucky that I’m still part of the Jeopardy! family after all these years. And I have, I have no plans to hang it up.”
