On Monday's episode of
Jeopardy!,
Isthmus arts and entertainment editor Kenneth Burns finished in first place with $21,600. He will take on two new challengers on the syndicated game show tonight. Burns
tells 77 Square that his episodes were taped in California in January -- in fact, he happened to have a taping on the day Barack Obama was inaugurated. "I remember at about noon, (a
Jeopardy! staffer) looked at her watch and said, 'Oh, we have a new president,'" Burns says. "It was a tense group of people, as you can imagine, but that was a tension breaker."
