Jeopardy! has announced two hosts for the remainder of this year. Mayim Bialik and Ken Jennings will be standing in front for the rest of 2021. It’s a move that a lot of people saw coming and will be sure to spark some opinions. The game show has had a strange year as they tried to find a permanent host after the passing of Alex Trebek. Producer Mike Richards was in charge of the search and cycled through a lot of potential candidates. In that crop was fan-favorite selection LeVar Burton and curiously absent was Laura Coates, who Trebek actually put forward for the position before his passing. Sony Pictures Television quickly had a bit of a mess on their hands when Richards was announced as the host. From comments of “Who?” to “How could the producer choose himself for the role?” there was a lot of turmoil.
Not sure if you’ve heard but @missmayim and @kenjennings are hosting me until the end of the year. Everyone on the staff is supralunar. pic.twitter.com/mpYVpusQ7V
