Now that he's filmed several episodes filling in for Trebek, Jennings says he's even more in awe of Trebek's hosting skills."The main thing I learned is just what an impressive, perfect job Alex Trebek did behind this lectern for 36, 37 years," he shares in the promo.
Jennings holds the all-time"Jeopardy!" records for most consecutive games won and highest winnings in regular-season play . The best piece of advice he's gotten about hosting"Jeopardy!" came from his wife, Mindy, he reveals in the promo video. "I called home after the first five shows I'd recorded as guest host and she said, 'How'd it go?' And I said, 'Listen, I'm obviously no Alex Trebek.' And she was very kind. She said, 'Well, of course not. But do you think you might stand up to what he did on"And I thought, 'Oh, that's a nice way of looking at it.' I haven't had 37 years of practice. So she taught me to maybe be a little more forgiving of myself.
Once Jennings' hosting stint ends,"Jeopardy!" will feature more interim guest hosts. The show has yet to announce a new permanent host.
Ken Jennings did a nice job subbing on Jeopardy.
You were awesome, Ken Jennings! Beautiful advice from your wife! Smart gal, too!
