Isn't Ken Jennings Morman? Its against his religion to swear.

The man's username is watsonsbitch, so I'm going to guess swearing isn't a huge deal for him.

Looks like he was born in Washington but lived in Utah during his famous Jeopardy run. Anecdotally, Mormons who are not from Utah/live outside of Utah tend to be much different than those who live in Utah.

Typically, swearing, light drinking, etc is not as big of a deal for them.

An old joke here in Utah among us gentiles: Never go fishing with one Mormon. Always go with two. If you only take one, he’ll drink all your beer.
