There has been some confusion amongst Jeopardy! viewers about who precisely is internet hosting the present over the approaching months, as Mayim Bialik just lately took over from Ken Jennings to helm the High School Reunion Tournament.
However, on Monday’s Inside Jeopardy! podcast, the present’s longtime producer Sarah Foss cleared issues up, revealing the dates of Jennings’ upcoming return and Bialik’s remaining schedule. The Jeopardy! G.O.A.T. will deal with issues till the tip of April earlier than the Call Me Kat star takes over for the rest of the season.
“Ken Jennings will be back on March 10th, and then he’s going to continue the rest of his syndicated run, which will take us through April 28th,” Foss stated. “And then Mayim will take over on May 1st, and she will take us all the way through to the summer.”
Bialik is at present internet hosting the High School Reunion Tournament, which options 27 former teen contestants competing in a particular 14-day particular occasion, with the general winner of the competitors strolling away with a $100,000 grand prize and a spot within the Tournament of Champions.
As all the time, the response to the host switching was combined, with one fan on the Jeopardy! Reddit discussion board writing, “I wonder if there’s a single fan out there that actually prefers this hosting hand-off situation over just one host.”
Another discussion board consumer responded, “If the option is 100% Mayim versus this hand-off situation, I prefer the hand-off. 100% Ken for syndication would be my ultimate preference though.”
Others, although, appeared advantageous with Jennings and Bialik taking turns. “I like that Ken hosts the syndicated and Mayim hosts the prime time show,” wrote one viewer. “It makes the shows feel different (not one better than the other, just different) and I’m used it now. Even though I like Ken as the host, I like Mayim too. She’s gotten better not as much as Ken but definitely better.”
“There are shows in the UK that regularly change hosts. Why choose one host, when both hosts bring people from different segments to watch the show, without fully alienating the other segments?” added one other. “I do prefer Ken, but I am not opposed to Mayim. I think it’s good for young women to see someone in that kind of position “being smart.”
