Jeopardy uber-champion to WFNX: Cut the crap

Ken Jennings, yes, that Ken Jennings, gives his side of whatever it is that caused veteran WFNX news director Henry Santoro to stomp off the air yesterday. Basically, Jennings doesn't buy the story of Santoro quitting under an onslaught of complaints from outraged Jennings fans over a taped interview aired on the wrong day:

... I really don't understand a beloved local newsman quitting over some angry phone calls, even if there were any. It's not like he ran forged National Guard papers about the President. He mis-announced a little book signing. Who the hell cares? ...

You can't make stuff like this up.

Or can you? Santoro was back on the air this morning, at least, based on this Sandbox clip (toward the end).

My post on the matter was rather secondary, so I'm surprised I merited a link from him. But hey, any links help your search engine visibility, so I'll take it!

were morons. They did in fact make the phone calls and irritate the hell out of 'FNX. Who knows if Henry really quit or not, but at least a few Ken Jennings fans are creeps.
