Dr. Sanjay Gupta reacted to being named one of the special guest hosts of Jeopardy! The show announced a slew of guest hosts with the likes of Anderson Cooper, Savannah Guthrie, and Dr. Oz all getting a shot as well. For the Chief Medical Correspondent from CNN, it was a true honor and something he will never forget. Like many people, he has grown to see the show not just as an entertaining half-hour. But, Jeopardy! ends up seeping into the background of many fans’ lives. From quiet evenings with relatives or rare moments of peace after big life changes, the show has it all. Everyone included in the list to fill-in for beloved former host Alex Trebek feels a responsibility to get this thing right. Dr. Gupta is up there when it comes to that unique pressure and he told fans about it on Twitter.
I used to watch @Jeopardy with my parents and now with my own kids. The thing is: there is just something so beautiful and reassuring about facts, simple straightforward facts. I cherish that. An honor to be an upcoming guest host, but seriously miss the great Alex Trebek. pic.twitter.com/pzIUoaGoaW
