“Jeopardy!” record-holder Ken Jennings will be the first in a series of interim hosts replacing Alex Trebek when the show resumes production this Monday.
Producers announced yesterday that Jennings, who won 74 games in a row and claimed the show’s “Greatest of All Time” title in a competition last year, will host episodes that air in January.
A long-term host to replace Trebek will be named later.
The show is in its 37th year of syndication, and Trebek was its only host.
It’s still airing shows that Trebek filmed before his death with his final one on Christmas Day.
