Seems like the announcer said that Ken Jennings a week ago was "hosting Jeopardy", but now he says Miyam Bialik is "the host of Jeopardy". They wanted her before they took Richards but she said she was too busy for permanent host. Then I read she changed her mind. Permanent host??

The two of them alternate, which accommodates her acting schedule, and they have some other guest hosts lined up also.

Mayim Bialik and Ken Jennings named permanent co-hosts of 'Jeopardy!
Quote: |
"I write today with the exciting news that we have closed and signed deals with Mayim Bialik and Ken Jennings to be the hosts of Jeopardy! moving forward," executive producer Michael Davies announced in a statement Wednesday on the show's website. "In Mayim and Ken, we have two outstanding hosts at the beginning of their Jeopardy! hosting careers who connect with their own unique fanbases, new fans, and the traditional Jeopardy! viewer."
Jennings will host as the new season begins in September, as well as act as host for the Second Chance competition and Tournament of Champions, the announcement said.
Bialik, who also currently stars on FOX's "Call Me Kat," will host "Celebrity Jeopardy!" on ABC in primetime and will host the main show for a period of time beginning in January.
"The current plan is to have her host a couple of new tournaments as well as the Jeopardy! National College Championship and as many weeks as she can manage with her other primetime commitment to 'Call Me Kat,'" the announcement said. "We know you value consistency, so we will not flip flop the hosts constantly and will keep you informed about the hosting schedule." |

The alleged host trials that took place in 2021 had different ratings for the hosts, but I would guess that Jeopardy ratings get worse as the summer approaches.

So they must feel that Jennings and Bialik bring in similar ratings given a similar time period. Or maybe they feel there are two different fan groups that have formed that they have to try and both please by splitting duties.

I am amazed they have all these reruns. Two hosts and they film five shows a day and they not only show reruns but pick famous champs that you know are going to win.

Neither was Becky Lynch (WWE). She has the dubious distinction of not answering a single clue successfully. But she was funny.
