Big changes are coming to Inside Jeopardy!. The podcast announced on March 10 that they are moving from a weekly show to a monthly show. “We just wrapped up the post-season, which has been phenomenal,” cohost Sarah Whitcomb-Foss said. “And so, with that, we’re going to fall into more of a monthly cadence with the podcast, but don’t worry, we’re still going to continue to bring you any special announcements and special interviews.” “Keep up to date with our socials to see when each monthly podcast will land.” Whitcomb-Foss hosts the podcast with co-executive producer Michael Davies. Occasionally, fan-favorite player Sam Buttrey fills in as cohost. He got the new job in September 2024, replacing former co-host Buzzy Cohen. Some fans worried that Buttrey was dropped from the podcast. “They announced they’re going to an irregular monthly schedule with no mention of Sam. Are they unceremoniously dropping him?...

Jeopardy! fan favorite Sam Buttrey has just booked a new gig as the co-host of the Inside Jeopardy! podcast, but some fans are wondering what this means for former co-host Buzzy Cohen. The official Jeopardy! social media accounts made the announcement on Monday night (September 9), revealing Buttrey will be co-hosting episodes of the behind-the-scenes podcast with long-time Jeopardy! producer Sarah Whitcomb Foss. “Hold onto your butts! #InsideJeopardy! is back with a new co-host, Sam Buttrey!” the Jeopardy! X account posted alongside a link to the latest episode of the podcast. “Sam, it’s so good to have you here in the pod,” Foss said at the start of the new episode. “And can we just say that you’re gonna be in the pod a lot more now?” Hold onto your butts! #InsideJeopardy! is back with a new co-host, Sam Buttrey!

By September 10, 1984, Alex Trebek had hosted many game shows: The Wizard of Odds, High Rollers, The $128,000 Question, Double Dare, Pitfall, and The New Battlestars. But on that day 40 years ago, the Canadian emcee began the job that would carry him through the rest of his life: hosting Jeopardy! Though Trebek might have had new-host jitters during that first taping — “He seems kind of nervous … and honestly, can you blame him?” Jeopardy! champ Buzzy Cohen said in a recent rewatch of the episode — he was still the warm, professorial presence so many contestants got to meet over his 36 years at the podium. “Alex interacted with us off-camera,” Greg Hopkins, the winner of that 1984 episode, told Wsaz in 2021. “He was a class act and the entire production staff were class acts.” But as fans have described on Reddit after someone shared YouTube episode — and as you can see in the video here...

Jeopardy! is about to go into its 41st season. While the series fans know and love will still be familiar, a few changes have been announced, including ones made with the fans in mind. This has also got fans wondering if a few more changes to the show are expected in the upcoming seasons.

Fans Can Expect New & Familiar Hosts

Ken Jennings will become the show’s official host in the upcoming season. Technically, Jennings had hosted the entire previous season, so this change won’t be much of an adjustment for fans. That said, Mayim Bialik was technically the show’s co-host. She had also been kept on as part of the show’s website until this past summer.

Ken Jennings-YouTube

Jennings will be the only host during the upcoming season, but fans can still see another new host in the near future. Colin Jost, of Saturday Night Live fame,...

Jeopardy! champion Sam Kavanaugh has opened up about his experience on the beloved game show. He revealed a game-changing tactic that could help any player win the competition. Keep reading to see what he suggests for players who want to bring home the big money.

Sam Kavanaugh Reveals How He Won ToC

Sam Kavanaugh has become well-known among Jeopardy! fans. He won the Tournament of Champions in 2021, bringing home the $250,000 grand prize.

Season 41 of the game show kicks off tomorrow, September 9, and new players will be facing off to qualify for the 2025 ToC. Sam has some advice for contestants.

First, he told The U.S. Sun that the regular show and the tournament differ in a number of ways. When it’s all said and done, Sam said the game is “fixable” but you have to give in to hunting the Daily Double and going all-in.

“As long as you kind...

Jeopardy! is one of the most beloved game shows of all time.

However, even the most obsessed fans don’t know everything there is to know about the popular show.

There are still a lot of things that fans (both new and veteran) of Jeopardy! won’t know about if they haven’t been on the show…or even in the audience.

While promoting a podcast about the show with Insider, one of the most notable former contestants, Buzzy Cohen revealed five things about the show that most viewers don’t know.

Click through to see if you knew these things about Jeopardy!…...

Jeopardy! has named Saturday Night Live star Colin Jost as the host of its upcoming Pop Culture spinoff, causing disappointment for some fans who were hoping for former Tournament of Champions winner Buzzy Cohen to helm the new show. Cohen, who first appeared on Jeopardy! in Season 32 and won over $165,000 during his 9-game streak, was a firm favorite when the show first announced the spinoff series. “Buzzy would be a great host,” wrote one fan on the Jeopardy! Reddit forum at the time. “I hope Buzzy gets it with Sam Buttrey as his announcer and sidekick!” said another. Another responded, “I was super excited for this but with Buzzy I’d be through the roof!” Cohen, who won the 2017 Tournament of Champions and also captained Team Buzzy during the 2019 All-Star Games, certainly has the credentials to host. Not only does he serve as co-host on the Inside Jeopardy! podcast, but...

Isaac Hirsch was on a roll when he appeared on Jeopardy! earlier this month, winning nine games in a row. However, it all came crashing down when some “bad math” brought his streak to an unfortunate end. Hirsch, a customer support team lead from Burbank, California, had amassed $215,390 over nine games before a massive wager in the last round of the July 16 game cost him dearly. Now, fans have been able to hear Hirsch’s reaction to his stinging loss. On the latest edition of the Inside Jeopardy! podcast, producer Sarah Whitcomb Foss and former Tournament of Champions winner Buzzy Cohen played an exclusive clip of Hirsch’s comments right after his nine-game winning streak came to an end. “Isaac, you’re looking at your math right now,” host Ken Jennings said in the clip. “I did it wrong,” Hirsch replied. “I did my math incorrectly. Ugh.” “So you were...

Jeopardy! fan-favorite Isaac Hirsch called out the network for making a “rude” decision during the most recent broadcast of his game. Oftentimes, game shows like Jeopardy! are interrupted for various reasons, but Isaac couldn’t believe the network decided to cut in when it did. Keep reading to see why and how fans reacted.

Jeopardy! Game Interrupted For Press Conference

President Joe Biden cut into the Jeopardy! broadcast on Thursday to deliver a speech. Unfortunately for viewers, it was cut off just before Ken Jennings had the chance to announce the Final Jeopardy! category.

The ABC breaking news report of President Biden’s press conference cut the game short.

Those who were lucky enough to be able to tune in to the end of the episode saw Isaac win his seventh consecutive game. After yet another win, he took to social media to share his thoughts on the network interruption.

Isaac Hirsch won his fourth Jeopardy! game in a row on Monday afternoon. After winning $70,186 in his first three wins, he left on Monday with a four-day total of $100,586. With his wins, there are some fans who just realized why Isaac looks so familiar. This wasn’t the first game show that Isaac appeared in.

Here is where fans recognize Isaac Hirsch from before his Jeopardy! winning streak.

Isaac Hirsch Has A Game Show Past Before Jeopardy!

Isaac Hirsch has not only been a great winner on Jeopardy!, but he has also been winning fans over. He has a good sense of humor and always has funny stories. He is the opposite of the last big champion, Drew Basile, who remains polarizing as the former champion.

YouTube/Jeopardy!

His ability to stand in front of a camera and not let it overwhelm him comes from his past as a game show contestant.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for the July 4 episode of Jeopardy!] Current Jeopardy! champion Isaac Hirsch may be nowhere close to Buzzy Cohen’s nine-game streak, but he does have one up on the other champ: He beat him on The Chase in 2023! On The Chase, three competitors face off against a quiz genius (a Chaser) determined to stop them from winning cash prizes. Cohen is a Chaser known as “The Stunner” on there. In Season 3, in 2023, Hirsch played alongside John Lance and Allison Johnson and defeated Cohen. He won $46,667 of a $140,000 total. That’s not the only game show Hirsch has appeared on. He was also on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire in 2017. He answered seven questions correctly but walked away with $5,000 after being incorrect on the $20,000 question on which he used the Ask the Audience lifeline. (He went with the answer that received 48 percent of the vote, but the ...

If recent Jeopardy! champion Drew Basile wants a chance to beat super-champ Adriana Harmeyer in the next Tournament of Champions, there is one area he needs to improve on, according to 2017 Toc winner Buzzy Cohen. Basile’s seven-game winning streak came to an end last Friday (June 28) as he blundered on the Final Jeopardy question. Despite this loss, the Survivor alum had already cemented his spot in the next Toc, where he could very well come against recent 15-game winner Harmeyer. Speaking on the latest edition of Inside Jeopardy! podcast, Cohen and Jeopardy! producer Sarah Whitcomb Foss compared Basile and Harmeyer’s stats, with Foss pointing out how, “One stat that isn’t quite as great for Drew is Final Jeopardy.” “Obviously, with so many runaways, he didn’t need it very much, but he was only three for eight [on Fj], so about 38 percent,” she added. “When you compare that to Adriana,...

Ken Jennings is usually lenient when it comes to his role as Jeopardy! host, but he isn’t afraid to get mean and throw some shade when the situation calls for it. On the latest episode of the Inside Jeopardy! podcast, hosts Sarah Whitcomb Foss and Buzzy Cohen played a clip from an off-air segment where a member of the studio audience asked Jennings what happens when a contestant doesn’t answer in the form of a question. “Oh, boy. Do you know what hanging, drawing, and quartering is?” Jennings quipped. The host went on to say that he gets progressively meaner throughout the episode if a contestant continues to mess up that key Jeopardy! rule. He explained, “The rules are actually different in the first and second rounds. In the first round, I get to remind them very sternly. I say, ‘Yes, but please remember your phrases.'” “In the second round,...

Undeniably, it isn’t common to see a Jeopardy! competitor sitting down. But it is Grant DeYoung‘s preferred method of challenging his worthy opponents. Several fans have questioned why Grant opts to remain seated during the exciting mental battles when his challengers all stand beside him.

Grant DeYoung Keeps It Interesting For Jeopardy! Fans

While Jeopardy! contestant, Grant DeYoung, has fans in awe of his mental stature, many wonder why he chooses to sit during the battle of the wits on stage. Undoubtedly, fans have enjoyed the Arizona grocery clerk’s run with fame on his exciting journey on Jeopardy! While his steak has come to an unfortunate end, he has proven to be a great champion during his days of winning. Notably, his reign came after defeating three-day champ Will Newton last week. Not to mention the tense round of winning he squeaked by on Monday while taking...

Since announcing the Jeopardy! spinoff Pop Culture Jeopardy!, fans are buzzing about who could take the reins of the new show. While both Ken Jennings and Mayim Bialik have experience, they don’t seem to be the likely candidates for the new streaming series. While fans may not be able to decide the outcome, they have some very good insight into who the next possible host may be for the modern take on the show.

Jeopardy! Fans Don’t Think Ken Jennings Or Mayim Bialik Will Be The Choice

Since the topic of the new spinoff series Pop Culture Jeopardy!, fans have shown interest in who the newest host will be. While the streaming series targets a different demographic, it is still very inclusive to everyone who wants to challenge their knowledge. However, the categories will shift focus to more modern subject matter such as music, movies, TV, and more.

There is a new Jeopardy! spinoff series is coming. This version of the hit game show will focus on a different group of viewers, as the show will be about Pop Culture. The series will air on Prime Video and fans are already lining up to create a list of favorites who could serve as the host.

Here is a look at the possibilities for the hosts of the Jeopardy! Pop Culture spinoff series.

What Is The New Jeopardy! Spinoff Series?

The new Jeopardy! spinoff series will focus on Pop Culture questions and clues. This is an interesting spinoff because pop culture is usually one of the areas most successful contestants have the most trouble with. While they are often book-smart and intelligent, they are mostly unaware of what the rest of the world enjoys.

That means the new spinoff series is more geared towards regular people who might not...

The popular game show Jeopardy! will soon have a spinoff featuring pop culture questions.

Earlier this week, the Pop Culture Jeopardy show news arrived, with Amazon Prime to present the episodes via their platform.

Early reports indicated the game show features clues and questions based on music, movies, television, sports, and more.

Jeopardy! executive producer Michael Davies will also produce the pop culture spinoff for Sony Pictures Television.

As of this writing, no details have been released about who will host the spinoff game show.

However, several fans believe they may have spotted a clue as to who will host the episodes on Amazon Prime.

Did fans figure out the Jeopardy! spinoff host?

Hosts for Jeopardy! have included longtime host Alex Trebeck, actress Mayim Bialik and now Ken Jennings. Finding a good host isn’t easy, and the choices can be polarizing with viewers.

Other current game show hosts include...

Former Jeopardy champ Brad Rutter is spilling some trade secrets about the long-running game show.

During an interview with Tyler Boronski, the past champion opened up about what you need to win the show, and you may be surprised that it all comes down to just mastering three categories.

Keep reading to find out more…

Which three categories? Presidents, World Capitals and Shakespeare.

“There is a lot of stuff that comes up all the time… there are some things you can memorize and be pretty confident that at least one of them is going to come up in some way. And that is Presidents, World Capitals, and Shakespeare,” he said.

Brad says that knowing all the U.S. Presidents by number in order, every capital on the planet, and trying to get a basic knowledge of all the Shakespeare play titles with characters will give you a “big advantage going in.

Jeopardy! has been in tournament mode for what feels like forever, but there is great news for fans waiting on the return of regular games with brand-new contestants. On the latest episode of the Inside Jeopardy! podcast, long-time producer Sarah Whitcomb Foss was joined by her regular co-host and former Tournament of Champions winner Buzzy Cohen, where she confirmed regular Jeopardy! will be back next week. “The finals of the [Jeopardy! Invitational Tournament] will kick off on Friday (April 5), and, as a reminder to our listeners, it is the first player to win two games who will be our champion. So this could run as little as two games and as many as four.” She continued, “Which means next week, no matter what, we will be back to regular Jeopardy! I know people are excited.” “We’re gonna welcome back, you might not remember him [because] it was so long ago, our 3-game champion,...

After Mayim Bialik‘s surprising exit as Jeopardy! host in December, it seemed like Ken Jennings would take on the regular syndicated show and the tournaments all on his own. However, that isn’t quite the case. Former champion and Inside Jeopardy! podcast co-host Buzzy Cohen has stepped in to lighten the load, hosting two play-in games for the currently airing Champions Wildcard tournament, which features brief winners from Season 39 plus the recent Second Chance winners. However, in a Jeopardy! first, Cohen’s episodes are audio-only and are available via TuneIn Radio. If you’re wondering why these episodes aren’t included in the televised broadcasts, well, there is a logical reason, as a user on the Jeopardy! Reddit forum explained. “There are more 1- and 2-day champs from Season 39 than there are spaces in the two 27-player [Wildcard] tournament brackets, so they had nine champs play in audio-only play-in games on TuneIn Radio,...

When Jeopardy! returned for its Second Chance and Champions Wildcard tournaments back in September, it came with a new rule, which sees contestants required to read out the entire category name each time they select a new clue. However, this new rule might not stick around much longer, as many viewers have complained that it disrupts the flow of the show, especially when the category names are a mouthful, like last Thursday’s (December 7) “During Lou Gehrig’s Consecutive Game Streak.” Jeopardy‘s long-time producer Sarah Whitcomb Foss and former Tournament of Champions winner Buzzy Cohen addressed the backlash on the latest Inside Jeopardy! podcast, with Foss explaining why they introduced the rule change in the first place. “We’ve seen the chatter online about contestants reading the full category, which is a change to the rules this season,” Cohen brought up, though Foss disagreed with the term “rule.” “Not really a rule,...

It’s coming up on three years since the legendary Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek lost his battle with pancreatic cancer, and his family and former co-workers have been sharing their memories of the beloved host in those final weeks. The most recent episode of the This is Jeopardy! podcast, hosted by former contestant Buzzy Cohen, took a look back at the week Trebek announced his cancer diagnosis and the difficult months that followed. Longtime supervising producer Lisa Broffman opened up about the moment she first heard about Trebek’s diagnosis, saying she was in the office with fellow producers Rocky Schmidt and Harry Friedman. “Alex called, and Rocky put him on speaker phone, and Alex told us that he had stage 4 pancreatic cancer, and I remember Harry had a stack of papers on his lap, and he picked them up and threw them on the ground,” she said, holding back tears.

Jeopardy! super-champ Amy Schneider appeared on the most recent episode of the Inside Jeopardy! podcast, where she revealed which fellow contestant she’d like to compete against. During the episode, hosts Sarah Whitcomb Foss and Buzzy Cohen asked Schneider if there are any contestants she’s looking forward to facing off against in the Jeopardy! Invitational Tournament — a competition that gives former champions a chance to qualify for the next Jeopardy! Masters tournament. “I don’t really want to go up against anyone that I can name. It’s all so hard,” Schneider said with a laugh. “In terms of people that have been recent… I talked a lot with Hannah Wilson and was so happy to see her. And we just really connected well.” Wilson, who, like Schneider, is a trans woman, appeared on Jeopardy! back in May, winning eight consecutive games and earning an impressive $229,801. “Of all the...

Jeopardy! has been around for almost 60 years, much of which as the premiere quiz show on television. However, a portion of its tried and proven format has been scrutinized as a product of a bygone era, according to former Jeopardy! champion Buzzy Cohen and recent 2-day champ Lisa Sriken. Indeed, Sirken admitted that she was “thrilled” to lose just so she didn’t have to do any more contestant interviews. Her confession has reopened the door of conversation on that “excruciating” topic, sparking Cohen to share his views on the Inside Jeopardy! Podcast which he hosts alongside show producer Sarah Whitcomb Foss. “ I get it, and it is fun, and it’s great to get to know the contestants,” Cohen said. “It just feels, I don’t know, there’s something, it breaks up the game a little bit, and maybe that’s good, maybe it allows some contestants a...

Game shows continue their TV domination as the second half of The Chase Season 3 airs on ABC, and it’s thanks in part to Jeopardy! champ and current Chaser Brad Rutter. The knowledgeable competitor continues to display his intellectual prowess in the trivia game which puts three contestants up against a single skilled Chaser. Returning this past January, it’s been a bit of a process getting to this point in the season as Rutter tells TV Insider, “we shot all these [episodes] back in March [2022].” The process brought Rutter and his fellow Chasers into the studio “every day or every other day” over the course of three weeks. Returning alongside fellow Jeopardy! alum James Holzhauer, Rutter helped welcome three new chasers — Victoria Groce, Brandon Blackwell, and Buzzy Cohen — to the fray at the beginning of Season 3. “It’s a well-oiled machine now,” Rutter remarks of the dynamic between him and...

Jeopardy! viewers had plenty to say about recent champion Jake DeArruda, both positive and negative, but now the show’s producers have shared their thoughts on the polarizing contestant. The delivery dispatcher from Ludlow, Vermont, won three games in a row last week, earning 86,00 in the process. But some fans were irritated by his on-screen behavior, including his facial expressions and interruptions of host Ken Jennings. On Monday’s Inside Jeopardy! podcast, long-time producer Sarah Foss spoke with the 2017 Tournament of Champions winner Buzzy Cohen about DeArruda and the online reaction to his performance. “Let’s just talk about Jake,” Foss said after recapping last week’s episodes. “He’s only 23 years old. Ken joked in a post-game chat he’s got t-shirts older than Jake. [He] was inspired by Matt Jackson, who was another very strong champion back when he was 23 and just mowed down the competition.” She then asked...

The 250,000 prize wasn’t the only thing Jeopardy! super-champ Amy Schneider won after coming out on top of the 2022 Tournament of Champions, as she also received a unique gift from last year’s Toc winner. Taking to Twitter, Schneider revealed that after she’d finished taping the Toc final, the 2021 champion, Sam Kavanaugh, approached her “holding a box.” She continued, “I had no idea what he was giving me, although I should have! See, apparently Buzzy Cohen felt that the ToC winner should have a championship belt…” “So, [Cohen] gave one to James [Holzhauer], James had given one to Sam, and now Sam was giving one to me! Now that I know I think it’s a nice tradition. But now I guess at some point I’ll have to figure out how one makes a customized championship belt!” she added alongside a photo of her pro-wrestling-style Jeopardy! belt. So, he gave one to James,...

Jeopardy‘s executive producer Mike Davies has responded to criticism over a new format change he’s considering for the long-running game show. Last month, Davies brought up the idea of offering cash bonuses to contestants who correctly answer an entire column of clues under one topic without bouncing around the board. Some fans, including former Tournament of Champions winner Buzzy Cohen, worried that this new rule might have a negative impact on the gameplay. Davies touched on these concerns on Monday’s (October 3) Inside Jeopardy! podcast, where he spoke with fellow Jeopardy! producer and former Clue Crew member Sarah Foss. While the new rule is something Davies is seriously mulling over, he stated that it hadn’t yet been implemented, so people don’t need to be worried. “A lot of response, we should say, to my, let’s say, positing the not yet reined-in idea that I floated.

Jeopardy!‘s executive producer Mike Davies is toying with an interesting format change to help shake up the long-running game show, but not everybody is on board with the idea. Speaking on the Inside Jeopardy! podcast on Monday, September 19, Davies brought up the concept of offering cash bonuses to contestants who correctly answer an entire column of clues under one topic. The producer, who took over from the ousted Mike Richards in 2021, first touched on the idea last week but went into more detail on this week’s podcast. “I have been thinking about trying out, perhaps in one of our other tournaments this season, experimenting with giving out a cash bonus for contestants who run a category,” Davies said in conversation on the podcast with show producer Sarah Foss and Jeopardy! alum Buzzy Cohen. “It’s a moment in the studio; it’s a great thing.” Cohen, however, seemed apprehensive,...

Jeopardy! will be introducing some format changes for its upcoming 2022 Tournament of Champions, including byes to the semi-finals for three of its most winningest contestants. The new details were revealed during the third episode of the Inside Jeopardy! podcast, where executive producer Michael Davies and producer Sarah Foss were joined by 2017 Tournament of Champions winner Buzzy Cohen, who hosted last year’s Tournament of Champions competition. During the episode, Davies and Foss unveiled the line-up for the upcoming champions tournament and explained some of the new formatting, which includes byes to the semi-finals for Amy Schneider, who won 40 games in January, Matt Amodio, who won 38 games when Season 38 began in September 2021, and Mattea Roach, who won 23 games in May.  These three players will proceed automatically to the semi-final round, meaning they do not have to play in the quarter-final rounds. Davies explained that this is to make the contest fairer,...

It's hard to believe that the Jeopardy! has yet to name a permanent host.

Following Alex Trebek's death in 2020, the series employed temporary hosts as questions mounted about who would become the face of the series long-term.

Executive Producer Mike Richards was named permanent host a year ago, only to depart shortly after following unearthed anti-Semitic, misogynistic, and racist jokes came to the forefront.

During the Daytime Emmys, fellow EP Mike Davies spoke to press and said that "we hope to have a hosting announcement very, very soon," according to Variety.

“But with all of our plans for Jeopardy! — which is more Jeopardy!, not less, more versions — we’re going to need multiple hosts to represent the entire audience,” Davies added, “to represent the entire country, in order to take this franchise forward.”

Mayim Bialik and Ken Jennings have effectively been sharing hosting duties on the daily version, with...

Ken Jennings and Mayim Bialik have been sharing Jeopardy! hosting duties for the better part of a year now. But a permanent Jeopardy! host announcement could be coming soon. At the Daytime Emmys on Friday, June 24, executive producer Michael Davies said the shows hopes to announce the permanent host “very, very soon,” adding that more versions of the beloved game show are on the horizon. Speaking backstage, Davies teased that there could be not just one new host, but several. “We hope to have a hosting announcement very, very soon,” he said. “But with all of our plans for Jeopardy! — which is more Jeopardy!, not less, more versions — we’re going to need multiple hosts to represent the entire audience, to represent the entire country, in order to take this franchise forward.” Just last week, rumors circulated that Buzzy Cohen might be getting a permanent position on the show when...

A Jeopardy! hosting announcement is coming “very, very soon.” Will it land either Mayim Bialik or Ken Jennings in the full-time answer-reader’s seat? Or might the long-running quizzer buzz in with a new option?

Speaking with the press after Jeopardy! was named Outstanding Game Show at this year’s Daytime Emmys, executive producer Michael Davies acknowledged the scandal/”awkward months” of last summer, during which fellow EP Mike Richards was named full-time host, only to cede the post when anti-Semitic, misogynistic and racist jokes that he told on a podcast in the mid-2010s resurfaced online.

A number of “Jeopardy!” fans on Twitter are convinced that former Tournament of Champions winner Buzzy Cohen may be making a return as host of the show for its upcoming “Celebrity Jeopardy!” edition.

Last week, the game show fan account BuzzerBlog tweeted “100 prepared to be wrong but still not totally believing that the Mayim-hosts-primetime-Jeopardy thing is still here.

Cohen replied directly to the tweet with a gif of Yoda saying, “No, there is another.”

Together, they step into the empty spots left behind by Ken Jennings and Mark Labbett who finished their runs as Chasers in Season 2.
