In 2022, Ken Jennings and Mayim Bialik will continue to host “Jeopardy!”
In a statement released on Wednesday, Sony Pictures Entertainment said it was “delighted to let you know that Mayim Bialik and Ken Jennings will continue to split hosting duties through the end of “Jeopardy!” Season 38″ and Michael Davies will continue to serve as executive producer.
“As we move towards 2022, we’re thrilled to have such a great and talented staff in front and behind the camera!”
Initially revealed by Sony Pictures Entertainment in September, Bialik and Jennings will “share hosting responsibilities” “as their schedules allow through the calendar year.”
The actress-turned-real-life-neuroscientist was a “popular favorite” when she served as the show’s guest presenter in May and June of this year. She is best known for playing neuroscientist Amy Fowler on “The Big Bang Theory.”
Who is the next Jeopardy host? Mayim Bialik or Ken Jennings
Following Mike Richards’ departure from the show as presenter and producer, Bialik began routinely hosting it.
Richards was chosen to take over for the late Alex Trebek as host of “Jeopardy!” but resigned after facing significant criticism for previous remarks he made regarding women, Jews, and the poor. Soon after that, he lost his job as an executive producer.
In September, Jennings took over as host duties from Bialik after a record-breaking 74-game winning streak.
The conclusion of the 38th season is planned for July 2022.
