In his tenure, Alex Trebek hosted more than 8000 episodes. Unfortunately, his recent death was a blow to all Jeopardy! fans.
However, to honor the great television personality, the producers have decided to keep the show running. As they search for a new permanent face of the series, Jeopardy! has been running with guest hosts who are taking turns at the lectern.
This video will look at the official Nielsen ratings for all the guest hosts so far.
Dr. Oz was the first guest for Jeopardy! to have experience hosting a show. To that point, he seemed very comfortable on screen. However, many fans thought Oz was a controversial choice.
As a television journalist, Katie Couric is no stranger to being on air. In her career, she has racked up credits on many news programs. As the first woman to host Jeopardy, her premier happened on international women’s day.
Aaron Rodgers, the MVP quarterback of the Green Bay Packers, is perhaps the strangest choice to host the game show. However, the NFL star is a long-time fan of the show and a previously winning contestant. Rodgers has not kept it a secret that he wants to be the permanent host of the series.
The final two hosts were both already part of the Jeopardy! universe. Mike Richards is a producer behind the camera on the show. Though he did not have much, time to prepare, his stint as the guest was very well received.
Finally, Ken Jennings, the greatest champion in the history of Jeopardy!, scored the highest ratings as a guest host.
There are many more guest hosts planned before a permanent host is selected. We look forward to seeing who comes next.
