in 2011 Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter faced off against Watson in a 3 day event taped and aired at the TJ Watson Research Center just outside of New York City
it was known as Jeopardy! The IBM Challenge
2 Jeopardy! champions against an IBM computing system
in day 1 only the Jeopardy! round was played
in day 2 Double Jeopardy! and Final Jeopardy! were played
and in day 3 all 3 rounds were played with the winner receiving $1,000,000
Brad and Ken were good players but Watson came out on top
here are all 3 episodes in 1 video

I remember watching this first-run. Watson is a TOTAL BEAST.

At the time, I lived in the same town as the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center where this all went down, about a five-minute drive from my house. I was so bummed that the tapings were not open to the public. I didn't even know they were happening until I saw coverage of the first taping day on the local news.
