\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n Ken Jennings<\/strong><\/a> just shared some fun details about a famous roommate he had in college!<\/p>\n The Jeopardy!<\/em> host revealed that he once shared an apartment with bestselling fantasy author Brandon Sanderson<\/strong> while the two attended Brigham Young University in Utah during the 1990s.<\/p>\n Ken<\/strong> opened up about the experience during an on-set Q&A that was later shared on Jeopardy!<\/em> social media accounts.<\/p>\n <\/center><\/p>\n Ken<\/strong> recalled that before Brandon<\/strong> became one of the most successful fantasy authors in the world, he was working overnight shifts at a local hotel while spending his free time writing massive fantasy novels.<\/p>\n \u201cAt the time, Brandon<\/strong> was just working at the Best Western near our house. He was the night shift desk clerk, which I guess leaves you lots of time to write 1,200-page novels with, you know, 78 characters in them,\u201d Ken<\/strong> said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The 52-year-old game show host later joked that having him around made him feel less nerdy by comparison.<\/p>\n \u201cI was just like, \u2018Well, at least I\u2019m not the nerdiest guy in the apartment for a change.\u2019 That was very nice.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Brandon<\/strong> has become one of the most recognizable names in fantasy publishing, having sold more than 50 million books worldwide. Ken<\/strong> praised his former roommate\u2019s talent and success.<\/p>\n \u201cBut no, he turned out extremely talented. And yeah, big Apple TV deal. He\u2019s done very well,\u201d Ken<\/strong> said, quipping that Brandon <\/strong>\u201cdoesn\u2019t fly commercial anymore\u201d and instead owns a private plane.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s how many books that guy has sold. So I\u2019m also the second most successful person in the apartment.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Back in January, Apple TV picked up the rights to his Cosmere<\/em> universe<\/a>, which includes his Mistborn <\/em>and The Stormlight Archives<\/em> series, for film and television.<\/p>\n Another hugely popular fantasy series just got an update<\/a> and is moving forward to series at Amazon.<\/p>\n Posted To:Books<\/a> Brandon Sanderson<\/a> Ken Jennings<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n
