Sony Pictures Television has bought itself some time to sort out its 'Jeopardy!' mess.

Mayim Bialik and Ken Jennings, who are both part of the game show's television family, will host the show"through the end of the calendar year," Sony said Thursday.This timing will give Sony executives at least a couple of months to determine who the permanent host of the beloved show should be.Executive producer-turned-host Mike Richards was named the new permanent host of"Jeopardy!" over the summer, but he abruptly left both jobs in a cloud of controversy.

Now the plan changed: Instead of bringing in guest hosts, as the producers did last year after longtime host Alex Trebek died, Bialik and Jennings will continue to helm the broadcast this fall.Bialik is on the hook for an additional four weeks of shows, which means she will lead"Jeopardy!" from September 20 through the first week of November, for seven weeks total."After that, Bialik and Jennings will split hosting duties as their schedules allow," Sony said Thursday.

Playback to when shows like Jeopardy tried to re-do themselves by using a guest host: Truth or Consequences (failure) Family Feud (thank god for Steve Harvey or it to would be a failure) Price is right (failure) get the picture.

MatPatGT was definitely the better option

Ken Jennings was absolutely hopeless. No voice variation, thus can’t follow his questions. No personality.

Not even remotely interested.

Boo!

The actress and host of Jeopardy!’s primetime specials and spinoffs, will share hosting duties with for… As a country we have spent entirely too much time talking about who is hosting Jeopardy... Looks like Jeopardy will be selecting Ken Jennings for the hosting job. He literally has a 4 month trial run and he'll do well. I'm just disgusted how Sony allowed Richards to ruin the first guest hosts process, it was so disrespectful to the candidates who really wanted the job. Is Jennings not a contender as a permanent host because of controversial tweets he made? Or is the bigger reason due to his other TV commitments? Or a bit of both?
