For a time being “Jeopardy!” will be holding off on fixing a full-time host. They will be fixing a rest of a guest hosts after this week.

The show’s executive writer Mike Richards settled that Alex Trebek “believed in a significance of Jeopardy! and always pronounced that he wanted a uncover to go on after him.”

We will respect Alex’s bequest by stability to furnish a diversion he desired with intelligent contestants and severe clues. By bringing in informed guest hosts for a foreseeable future, a idea is to emanate a clarity of village and smoothness for a viewers.

Earlier this year Jennings degraded James Holzhauer and Brad Rutter in a “Jeopardy! The Greatest of All Time” tournament. He also binds a record for uninterrupted games won in a row. Jennings won a sum of 74 games with many of his loot in unchanging play totaling around $2,520,700.

Sony Pictures TV wanted their fans to be means to perspective Trebek’s final episodes but a holiday shows interrupting them. “Jeopardy!” will be airing 10 of Trebek’s best episodes during a weeks of Dec 21 and 28.

Jennings will also be partial of a primetime diversion uncover airing on ABC called “The Chase.” The “Jeopardy!” guest horde will be assimilated with Rutter and Holzhauer as they block off opposite teams of trivia experts.

Many people feel that Jennings was being neat to be a show’s guest host. Back in September, he assimilated a uncover as a consulting producer.

Trebek fans are concerned to see a final episodes with a iconic host. The iconic “Jeopardy!” horde is severely missed. May he rest in peace.
