Jeopardy! names its first guest host

Ken Jennings Crush Jeopardy's Winnings Record

First things first...there will NEVER be anyone who can replace Alex Trebek as host of Jeopardy! Jeopardy will NEVER be the same without Alex Trebek. It will never be as good...period. However...the show will go on. Originally, I had read that Trebek's last show would air on Christmas day, however, ABC has made some changes to that schedule and will now run 10 of Trebek's best episodes between December 21st and the 28th. The last episodes he filmed will air the week of Jan 4th. (Perhaps because it would be too sad to air his final episode on Christmas)

Producers of the show have said a permanent replacement host will not be named yet - and for now will move forward with a slate of guest hosts. And first up - perhaps the front runner to be the permanent replacement - 74 game win streak and ultimate Jeopardy champ, Ken Jennings. His first episode will air on January 11th. Even though he is a guest host at this time - the shoes he's attempting to fill are MASSIVE - and I feel like being first out of the gate will be VERY difficult. It'll be a good view of whether or not Ken has got any kind of decent hosting skills. I don't want to ride him off just yet, but like I just said - he's first up, when the loss of Alex is still great.

And the possible second guest host? Comedian Dane Cook. Nothing is confirmed - but his social media confirmed he was contacted to audition. We shall see! And good luck Ken!
