Back in June, fans were excited to learn that the Jeopardy! host would be appearing as a competitor on the new season of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. While the July 23 premiere is still weeks away, Ken decided he'd creatively shout out who his partner will be on the show. As Ken shared in a post on Instagram on June 27, he will be competing on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire alongside Oscar winner Matt Damon. Given how Matt portrayed janitor and mathematical genius Will Hunting in the 1997 film Good Will Hunting (which won him an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay), Ken referenced Matt's role in the film with a fitting caption. "Can't believe I get to play with one of my generation's great math prodigies," he wrote alongside the image of other competitors on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. "This is in the bag." As fans discovered Ken and Matt would be competing together on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, many couldn't stop raving about the match-up online. "Matt and Ken pairing is wild. [Host] Jimmy [Kimmel] will have it out for you …," one person wrote in the comments. "Can't miss the Damon/Jennings episode, what a pairing," another agreed. "Ken and Matt … a pair for the ages!" a different follower added. Now, let's not forget — this isn't the first time Ken has competed on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. Back in the day (a.k.a. in the early aughts), he actually appeared multiple times on the show in various roles. He first was an expert for the "Ask the Expert" lifeline for four episodes in 2008, and later reprised the gig a year later in August 2009. Years later in 2014, he was a contestant on the show and got $100,000 in earnings over the course of four episodes. He also competed on one episode in 2016 and was eliminated with no winnings after four questions. We can't wait to see how good Ken and Matt's pairing proves to be when their episode premieres later this summer!

Morgantown area businesses dealing with ‘devastating' impacts of 3-day power outage
Video is coverage of storm damage from Sunday, April 20. MORGANTOWN, (WBOY) — After more than three days without power from storms that came through the region over the weekend, businesses in the Morgantown area are dealing with the loss of several days of business and, in some cases, 'devastating' loss of inventory. Saturday evening, a supercell thunderstorm came through the area, blowing down trees, damaging homes and knocking out power for about half the Mon Power customers in Monongalia County. Even after power was restored to most of the region on Monday, many Morgantown area residents and businesses didn't have their power restored until Tuesday or Wednesday. The entire town of Star City had no power for two full days, and some residents went without power until Wednesday, and some Monongalia County schools did not reopen until Wednesday—four days after the storm. Tree falls through Star City family's roof during storm Now that power is back on, locally-owned businesses are asking customers to support them. Although some businesses were closed for the Easter holiday, others lost three or four days of business. Café Rosé, a restaurant that offers brunch and cocktails in downtown Morgantown, said on social media that without power on Easter, it lost out on one of its biggest revenue days of the year and lost 'thousands of dollars of ingredients.' 'It would mean so much to us if you could stop by for brunch, grab a Frosé to go, have a glass of wine on the deck, come to Trivia Friday, buy a gift card online, call and place a pickup order….anything!' the business said in a post on Wednesday. You can find a list of businesses within the city of Morgantown on Main Street Morgantown's website or support your usual favorites across the county. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
