Ken Jennings To Host Jeopardy On a Temporary Basis

This iconic game show has been a staple in American entertainment for decades and still serves as a way to play trivia at home and in later years online. The contestants on the show have been diverse groups like College students and numerous celebrities who are well known. When Alex Trebek started hosting the show in 1984 he had yet to meet Ken Jennings until he was one of his contestants who played and won a ton of cash proving that he had a great chance at possibly guest hosting on the show.

Ken will get his go and be the host of Jeopardy starting this week and will kick off the suite of episodes with a tribute to Alex and what his thoughts are with him being a mentor and helping him get the basic skills of the game down. From the reports I read Ken is serving as a temporary host for now but I would like to see him become the permanent replacement and follow in the legacy.

Ken Jennings was one of many people to try out for Jeopardy and succeed as much as he did. This show is in good hands.

Good luck to the new host of America’s favorite trivia show. -Tristan
