NEW YORK — “Jeopardy!” record-holder Ken Jennings will be the first in a series of interim hosts replacing Alex Trebek when the show resumes production next Monday., will host episodes that air in January.“By bringing in familiar guest hosts for the foreseeable future, our goal is to create a sense of community and continuity for our viewers,” the show’s executive producer, Mike Richards, said.The show is in its 37th year of syndication, and Trebek was its only host.
Art Fleming hosted earlier editions of the game show, including the original “Jeopardy!” that debuted in 1964 on NBC and aired for a decade. Richards said “Jeopardy!” will air repeat episodes for the holiday weeks beginning Dec. 21 and 28, meaning Trebek’s final week of shows will air starting Monday, Jan. 4.

Tom Bergeron would be a great host! Please consider him!!
Great. Now all they've gotta do is remove that pesky 'guest' from the equation. Ken is the only choice.
Good grief people. Please stop the negativity. Give the man a chance.
But can he rap like Alex I THINK NOT!!!
This is where cnnbrk got the news about this free lancer MelissaBellCNN also woks for BmarshallCGTN ChrisCuomo rosemaryCNN
Bring in the poker player!!
Tomburgeron SHOULD. BE. THE NEW HOST! HE WILL BE PERFECT
Get that cash cab game guy next
AUSTIN ROGERS! Enough said! The only time I’ve ever actually watched the show is when he was on it! No offense to anyone involved but he’s definitely more entertaining and, obviously, intelligent so he should be the host.
I vote danicamckellar - time for a female host!
Good for now. for later
I knew it❗️
Photog_Steve5 No way, just stick with KenJennings
Ken Jennings thinks he’s Gods gift. No way should he be permanent. Levar burton is a great idea though
🤮
Make him the permanent host! It would be the perfect fit
Call me crazy, but Tom Selleck might make a fun host.
Ken Jennings is stuck on himself. I would rather see Jeopardy come to an end than see Jennings be a host. I think I will watch something else.
Too vanilla
I look forward to this process and the Battle Royale at the end.
My vote - Ashton Kutcher - good looking - sweet - funny - likable and has a 160 IQ
Anyone but Ryan Seachrest!!!
What is a “tryout”? I’ll take Permanent Replacement for $600
Alex himself picked Laura Coates as his successor.
Jeopardy sorry, Ken has no charisma or personality! Please no! Ken is so in love with himself! I prefer Brad! Chris Harrison would be good as well!
Chris Pratt
Good luck. He has some tremendous shoes to fill.🙏
Noooooo !!!!
The new host should be missmayim 😀
Ok but for permanent levarburton is right there Jeopardy
Best Wishes Ken! If there any other host openings, here's my audition! Thanks!
Ken Jennings should be permanent host.
It would be better to have levarburton to host. Trebek make having knowledge cool. Burton made the quest for knowledge into an adventure!
If they MUST choose an ex contestant (and why would they have to), I think that guy Buzzy would be FAR more entertaining.
I hope you are able to land this gig.....daily! Get this done!

I am a lifelong Jeopardy and Alex Trebek fan!!! I would hate to see him be the permanent host. He is on Master Minds and just does not have what it takes to replace Alex.
What about HamillHimself
Let's make sure to put Mike Tyson and Charles Barkley on the list.
Booo! Ken is a hateful prick. 👎🏻
At least this guy isn't a card reader like that phoney Trebek.
I can't wait to see who will finally become the permanent replacement.
ChrisCuomo Trebek was the heart of Jeopardy much like Bob Barker was for “price”. I would like to see someone like Meridith Viera or sherylunderwood
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
This might sound crazy but he would be good
if GStephanopoulos is made the new host I will NEVER watch the show again. Jeopardy
Shoulda been Will Ferrell.
Brad Rutter, James Holzhauer, Austin Rogers and Buzzy Cohen. Julia Collins, Pam Mueller, Emma Boettcher. These are the most likely candidates to guest. When it's all said and done, it will be Ken Jennings. The women, as usual, haven't got a chance of a snowball surviving in hell.
Ken Jennings is a super soft doofus. Let’s rush to replace a legend. Jeopardy can do better. sofiavergara
🤮
aaronellis01 I heard GStephanopoulos was being thrown around... please... just throw him out! 🤦🏽♀️
And then they’ll settle on christhile, who will slowly transition it to all-mandolin trivia.
Wow. I wish KenJenning well. So hard following in AlexTrebek’s footsteps. BigShoesToFill
I vote for Steve Harvey to take over the show...
KenJennings forever!
Just cuz Alex left a high bar doesn’t mean you have to crawl under it.
Crossing my fingers for austintylerro and whoisalexjacob and buzztronics
💙
You’ve had lots of time to decide. Just pick Ken. I believe that’s who Alex would want.
Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!! KenJennings Jeopardy
No no no
pxwhittle Should be Buzzy Cohen IMHO.
👎
How the first guest host isn’t Will Ferrell or John Ratzenberger is a mystery
Tough to fill those shoes. Good Luck Ken!
He can just bring a toothbrush and change of underwear because he’s moving in.
They should just let KenJennings be the permanent replacement! jeopardy
Ken is the only answer.
That’s awesome! ⭐️
Good luck Ken!
What is perfectly appropriate?
I hope I hope I hope Ken becomes the permanent host
Oh, perfect. I hope they use him amici viatae.
Not an easy job and you can’t just insert someone in there and hope they do ok. This path is probably the best...try various interim hosts and see who fits in comfortably. Impossible to pin point until you test them out.
Just because he answered a lot of questions correctly, that doesn't make him an entertaining tv personality.
I hope WillFerrell gets a tryout!
Anderson Cooper!
alex_faust
My money is on them dredging up Merideth Vierra.
I enjoyed watching him on the show at first, then he really showed that nobody loves Ken, more than Ken loves Ken
Levar Burton next guest host? I hope so.
I've always heard if you can't be better than the original, just leave it alone...🤔👥
He’s my choice! Good luck Ken!
There is no replacement for Alex Tribeck
This makes me happy.
Who?
Ken Jennings and Lavar Burton are the only legit options.
yeah Count me out. Jeopardy needs to understand part of the Trebek magic was keeping his politics to himself. Jennings is a whiny litlle......
Give it to Jeff Probst. He did a great job when he hosted rock and roll jeopardy.
Al Franken scored 1600 on SATs. Funny. Smart. I think he would be great as Jeopardy host.
LaurenKiehna Oh wow!
Make the questions easier
Does this need Senate approval?
Or do it like British shows and have only guest hosts.
John Berman from CNN would make a really good host too. IMO
How about RobinRoberts ?
I am glad they will try different people .... being good contestant not necessary being good host Jeopardy 👍
levarburton better be the guest host after him then!!
Maybe if Trump gets this gig offered immediately, the legal nonsense will stop
Donald Trump should host the show ,he got 74 million sheep followers 💰💰🤣🤡
not this mf -_-
By far one of the biggest douches on Twitter. Great job
Jeopardy how about levarburton He is amazing, well spoken and loved by many!
we literally want him
Someone floated Lavar Burton and I gotta say, with his Reading Rainbow and Star Trek creds he would be perfect
Gotta come up with something more profound than “big shoes to fill”, this is a big deal
they could have a series of hosts and call them Doctor. or something.
We the people need minakimes. She's the host we deserve.
They should let the viewers vote for the next host.
So Jeopardy! is now run like 'The Santa Clause' -- if you beat Alex Trebek, you must *become* Alex Trebek.
