JEOPARDY! host Ken Jennings has been accused of showing off his wealth and exploiting his status as the show’s only host.
Ken shared a clip to the official Jeopardy! Instagram account that poked fun at his job.

The host got in on the popular social media trend that finds people making humorous observations about their professions or personality types.
The observations usually start with the format, “I’m X. Of course I…” as the person describes themselves or their occupation.
In this case, Ken, 49, made his video all about his job as Jeopardy!’s solo host.
“He’s the host of #Jeopardy!, OF COURSE he wants you to tune in to the JIT,” the video’s caption read.
Ken began his video by walking down the hallway and saying, “I’m the host of Jeopardy!, of course people always come up to me with random trivia facts all the time.”
In another scene, he walked up to a closet with a rainbow selection of ties.
“I’m the host of Jeopardy!, of course I have a tie in every single color,” he added, looking into the camera.
He sprinkled in a few more jokes, which some commenters seemed to appreciate.
But others were incensed by the video and Ken’s commentary.
“Bro’s just flexing now,” one wrote in the comment section, adding a crying and laughing emoji.
“He is the GOAT after all,” the Jeopardy! Instagram account replied.
“Not me trying to zoom in on all the ties,” another fan wrote.
TIED DOWN
Ken showing off his tie collection isn’t some random flex, as he’s clearly proud of them.
For some time, fans tried to track down the cost of some of Ken’s accessories.
They came to the conclusion that his many ties are quite expensive, which explains their ire over his admission of owning so many.
He wears designer ties made by Ted Baker London, which are usually sold for $80 apiece.
A dedicated Jeopardy! fan posted the find to their Jeopardy! fashion blog.

That could put the value of Ken’s tie collection at over $3,400 if he still owns about 40 of the fashion accessories.
Though some of the ties can be found at online secondhand retailers, that means Ken is spending a lot of money to be able to swap between ties so often.
That’s on top of the wardrobe that Ken requires for each Jeopardy! taping.
Ken wears a different suit and tie for each of the different tapings of the popular game show.
