Jeopardy! Executive Producer Teases Host Shake Up in the Near Future

Jeopardy! continued its streak at the Daytime Emmy Awards, picking up its third straight award for Outstanding Game Show at the June 24 ceremony, even as the past year has likely been it's most tumultuous.

More than a year after iconic host Alex Trebek diedJeopardy! still has yet to name a permanent replacement after the appointment and subsequent firing of former executive producer Mike Richards.

New EP Michael Davies, however, indicated a hosting announcement is coming soon, and it might not be as simple as, “Is it Ken Jennings or Mayim Bialik?

It definitely sounds like the days of one person being the face of the franchise are over, with Michael Davies talking about “multiple hosts” and “more versions” of Jeopardy! 

When ABC announced its Fall 2022 schedule, it included the spinoff Celebrity Jeopardy!, so does that mean we could see different people behind the lectern for each different tournament or spinoff?

who will be the subject of Michael Davies’ big upcoming announcement? Will it be a combination of Ken Jennings, Mayim Bialik and Buzzy Cohen?

How many different hosts will the franchise need to “represent the entire audience”?

Season 38 of Jeopardy! ends July 29, so check your local listings to see when and where to catch it in your area.
