“Jeopardy!” hosts Ken Jennings and Mayim Bialik will become the show’s official hosts after filling the roles temporarily following the 2020 death of former longtime host Alex Trebek.

“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,” the show’s executive producer, Michael Davies announced Wednesday.

Davies said in the last year, viewership has been up, with more than 27 million people watching each week.
