5 Things You Should At Least Pretend To Know Today

Keeping up with the news is a full-time job. And not a very fun one! But learning about a few things going on in the world today can’t hurt — if for no other reason than having something to make awkward-small talk about at your office or during happy hour!

These are some things we think it mostly can’t hurt knowing today:

1.‘Jeopardy!’ GOAT winner Ken Jennings is the ‘greatest of all time.’

Who is Ken Jennings?

Answer: The greatest “Jeopardy!” player of all time.

Jennings defeated James Holzhauer and Brad Rutter in the classic trivia show’s first-ever GOAT tournament on Tuesday night.

“It has taken 15 years for Ken Jennings to finally answer the question, ‘Is he as good as he appeared to be in his great run on ‘Jeopardy!’?’ ” said host Alex Trebek as he handed Jennings the trophy.

Jennings, a 45-year-old software engineer turned author, also walked away with the grand prize of $1 million. Which brings his total earnings to a whopping $4,370,700 over 15 years.

He’s also got a goddamn funny Twitter account:

2. The House is set to send Articles of Impeachment to the Senate.

Regardless of how you feel about this process, it’s important/interesting to note:

(1) That the House holds a vote Wednesday to send to the Senate the two articles of impeachment against President Trump.
(2) That means he Senate is set to begin its trial next week.
(3) As part of the parliamentary process, the House has to actually call the Senate, ask them if they’re ready to receive the articles and then physically walk them across the Capitol once the Senate says “Yes.”
(4) Chief Justice John Roberts will preside over the Senate trial.
(5) This is just the 3rd time in U.S. History that this has happened (Clinton and Johnson (edited) being the other two.)

5. People are pissed at Vince Vaughn for shaking Trump’s hand.

In a 30-second clip posted by former Deadspin and Daily Beast contributor Timothy Burke, actor Vince Vaughn is seen sitting next to First Lady Melania Trump and President Trump at the College Football National Championship and engaging in conversation. Before the clip ends, Vaughn shakes Trump’s hand, and the minute the clip was posted to Twitter, it was all anyone could really talk about and soon the actor’s name was trending.
