#Jeopardy! #FirstGuestHost #KenJennings
Feels weird not hearing Johnny Gilbert say “Here’s the host of Jeopardy, Alex Trebek!”
I'm with you on that.
Johnny Gilbert is 92 and still going strong. It's unfortunate that Alex got cancer. Doctors don't know why people such as Alex develop cancer. More research needs to be done to find a cure. Many celebrities have died from Pancreatic cancer, some at even a younger age then Alex was
And it will feel even weirded without Alex saying "Thank You Johnny."
@@davinp Actually Johnny is 96
Yeah, I agree. While we'll get used to it eventually, it'll never be right again.
You can see and hear how much Ken misses Alex. I’m sure that Alex is looking down from heaven and beaming with pride with how the Jeopardy! team are continuing to produce original shows even without him. I wish the team all the very best. Continuing Alex’s legacy.
He and Alex actually became good friends over the years and especially since Ken began as a producer. Ken even mentioned in an interview he talked with Alex on the phone only a few days before his death.
I never thought Johnny was gonna say “guest host” honestly 😢 but it makes sense I guess
What do you mean? Ken is the “guest host.” They have not named a permanent host yet.
@@chrisfinch8637 yeah true glad he's still around
@@andreareynolds6143, what that means is that Ken Jennings is hosting Jeopardy on an interim basis. I'm sure there will be more guest hosts in the months to come until the next full-time host is confirmed.
Speaking of "Guest Host", I have a feeling that Johnny Gilbert will keep saying that, until we find out who the permanent host is going to be.
I've heard of Katie Couric, but never Alex Faust.
To everyone saying "cancel the show" you gotta remember, Jeopardy didn't start with Alex, Art Fleming hosted it in the 60s for 11 years and he was very popular with fans during his time. So much so that when the current version started some older fans had trouble accepting Alex as the new host. (Hard to believe now, but it's true). Alex was never Art and whoever hosts won't be Alex let's all give the next host a chance and we'll learn to love him or her in time. Besides look how many long running shows changed hosts and ate still going: the price is right, wheel of fortune (Chuck Woolery did it before Pat),the current Family Feud has been around since '99 and its on its 4th host in that time.
I like what you just said Mark.
You forgot The Price is Right which has been around since 1972 and Bob Barker hosted before Drew Carey
The show must go on
Ken Jennings has saved Jeopardy! from going downhill without Alex Trebek.
No matter what, Alex Trebek will always be remembered as the ultimate host of Jeopardy. RIP Alex. 🙏 Good luck to the next host of Jeopardy.
Ken Jennings wins the syndicated version host! Mayim Bialik wins the primetime version host.
It’s gonna be hard not to see Trebek, but Ken will definitely do well.
*do well
@@andreareynolds6143 there
I want to cry all over again seeing this trailer, but if I could pick anyone to host Jeopardy besides Alex, it would be Ken. He knows the game very well and it's a random A lister who will turn the show to be all about them.
Yes! Yes!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
We will always remember alex...
Ooh, that beginning where Ken got choked up... :(
Having heard countless podcasts with Jennings, he is a good souled, well humored candidate for successor- he certainly knows the format and has the personality to keep the shows spirit alive . Of course no one can replace Trebek, but he would want the show to carry on.
Ken Jennings is and has been the perfect replacement for Alex Trebek.
I hope Ken does well I think he’s the perfect person
Its still a bit weird tho
@@lesliejenkins4855 New things are weird, especially when things were the same for so long. But Ken will do great!
Ken Jennings - the first guest host who officially became the permanent host of Jeopardy!
So weird hearing Johnny not saying Alex trebek, but he’ll always have a special place in our hearts
It’s weird not hearing Johnny saying “our host, Alex Trebek!” But I think if anyone can succeed him, Ken can :)
For a person winning loads if jeopardy games? Wow. Ken will rock it.
Ken's going to do an amazing job
I keep repeating 0:00-0:05 because it sounds weird not hearing "Alex...Trebek!" anymore.
Ken looks so sharp!
Although it will be hard to see a new chapter without Alex, I’m still excited to see Ken as the temporary host 🙌 Wishing Ken good luck on continuing the Jeopardy show! It’ll be strange but am willing to give Ken a chance 🌟
Oh man, even Ken is getting choked up...
I've been waiting so long to see if Ken hosts Jeopardy. Hooray!
He’s only the guest host. They haven’t named a permanent one yet; although, I do expect it to be him.
Ken Jennings has officially won the permanent host of Jeopardy!
I just hope that Brad Rutter and James Holzhauer will guest host Jeopardy as well! I look forward to watching 👱🏻♂️ Ken Jennings’ First Jeopardy Episode tomorrow!
As much as I love James, hosting a game show doesn't exactly seem like his forte.
Ken Jennings left The Chase with Sara Haines on ABC to officially take over as permanent host of Jeopardy!
Cant wait for the next chapter of Jeopardy, thank you alex for those wonderful memories and professionalism you set the bar for all TV hosts throughout the world ❤
Good luck to Ken tomorrow!! I'm sure he will do a fantastic job!!
Ken Jennings has always done the fantastic job as our new permanent host!
You can tell Ken was trying not to cry during that segment 🥺🤧
Good luck as guest host, Ken, I'm sure you'll do great 🌝
It will never be the same. I wish the show all the best, though. You can also see Ken alongside Brad Rutter and James Holzhauer on "The Chase" on ABC.
Ken Jennings has bowed out of The Chase with Sara Haines on ABC so he can officially take over Jeopardy!
@@Frankie-O That's true. If I am correct, Mark Labett also quit our version of "The Chase," but something that I read said he will join the Game Show Network original program "Master Minds."
Mark Labbett will be joining Master Minds, reuniting with Brooke Burns!
@@Frankie-O That's good to know. He was the sole chaser on the GSN version. Now he's returning to GSN.
Never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine this here is the guest host of jeopardy Ken Jennings? Sounds and feels so weird but I can’t wait
Especially since 1984, only one episode has not been hosting by Alex: a 1997 April Fool's show hosted by Pat Sajak.
You’ll do great, Ken. I believe in you! 👍🏼
Ken Jennings does great. We believe in him!
i am very miss hearing Johnny Gilbert say “Here’s the host of Jeopardy, Alex Trebek!”😢 We miss you for legendary host of Jeopardy, Alex Trebek🙏. Good luck to the next host of Jeopardy. And now, for the guest host of Jeopardy, the one and the only Greatest of All time champion in 2020, please welcome Ken Jennings.
Jeopardy won't be the same without Alex. Jonny Gilbert never imagined he would open Jeopardy without Alex
I'm going to miss Jeopardy with Alex Trebek. Watching Jeopardy will feel sad and weird in the beginning, I hope I get used to the new era. RIP, Mr Trebek.
Good luck, Ken!
It is so weird hearing Johnny saying "Here is the guest host of Jeopardy! Ken Jennings." It must of been hard for him after working with Alex Trebek for almost 4 decades. Hopefully Ken will do a great job as the guest host and make Alex proud as he looks down from above.
This will be interesting to see Ken hosting
Ken Jennings makes Jeopardy! most interesting, as our new official permanent host.
@@Frankie-O even tho I’m team Mayim, I have to agree that Ken is doing well, plus this would make Alex very happy because I believe on one hand he wanted a woman to host, and on the other hand he wanted Ken also❤️
I think Ken will do a great job as host of Jeopardy!
Ken Jennings has always done an excellent job as permanent host and makes Jeopardy! worth watching.
Show the full last episode on youtube
Rip Alex Trebek. I am going to miss you so much on TV but please Rest In Peace no more pain, no more cancer, and no more treatments. Ken Jennings is going to do well and being a guest host for a while until a new permanent host is found. It is not going to be the same without Alex Trebek. Quadracer687 (Laura)
Thank you for the captions.
If I had to name a “successor” to Alex Trebek it would be Ken Jennings.
He could be a possibility but he is a consulting producer on Sonys lot, however he only hosted 10 shows for guest hosting along with Katie Couric Levar Burton Mike Richards & someone else, but no replacement will be named until after Spring, rotation of guests hosts will be fine.
@@stud467111524 They said that he filmed episodes for 6 week, so he tapes 30 episodes. They must have been impressed if he got that long
I'm not so sure. Ken is smart to be sure but he's not a professional MC. People are talking about Levar Burton and I think that would be a better choice.
@@pjabrony8280 I think it's also important to think about longevity. Burton is in his mid-60s while Ken is in hid mid-40s, which is the same age Alex started. Having an older host wouldn't be a bad thing (and Burton is incredibly talented), but an older host can't serve as long as Alex did.
Jeopardy Champion Ken Jennings is likely gonna be Alex Trebek's Successor as Host of Jeopardy! 100% sure
Just hearing Johnny not do Alex's introduction is a tough one. It's really tough.
Ken jenning is the perfect guest host to me as well
i was going say the same thing as well Kevin Lam. But other than that the first guest host of Jeopardy with Ken Jennings is coming tomorrow and boy i cannot wait.
Peter Adamo me too dude I am so excited as well
Ken Jennings is the most perfect permanent host of Jeopardy!
Ken: *shared the stage with Alex Trebek hundreds of times* & misses Alex very much. Johnny Gilbert: had been announcing Alex *every single time* for almost four decades. Can't imagine how unbearably sorrowful he is. May God bless our beloved Johnny Gilbert.
Good luck Ken , can't wait to watch you 🍀
Ken Jennings, we can now watch syndicated! Mayim Bialik, we can now watch primetime.
Looking forward to it!!
While it will be strange to watch Jeopardy without Alex, he would insist that the game go on, so I’ll be watching. It’s what Alex would want.
Ken Jennings was the only one who kept Jeopardy! going as a contestant, he will now keep Jeopardy! going as a host.
Going back to watching Supermarket Sweep, the other show that Johnny Gilbert was the announcer
Ken should DEFINITELY be the permanent host of Jeopardy!!
If that happened I'd probably stop watching the show outside of the occassional TOC.
@@NickTheEnlightened me too
Ken Jennings will likely be named as Alex Trebek's Successor as Host of Jeopardy! He played so well during his appearances on the show with Alex Trebek
Ken Jennings gets the job done syndicated! Mayim Bialik gets the job done primetime.
Good luck Ken!
It's going be tough but we can move forward but one thing for sure is Alex will never be forgotten.
I think Ken Jennings should be the Permanent Host of Jeopardy!
He'll likely will be the new host of Jeopardy!
Ken Jennings is most likely the permanent host of Jeopardy!
The fact that it almost sounds like kens crying it hits hard 😭
Everyone here is going to feel uncomfortable. It's natural. I felt the same way with Drew Carey which went through some growing pains himself trying to figure out his style. It's like that one song that you didn't like the first few times you listened to it but then it grew on you and now it's one of your favorites. Whomever gets the gig is going to do just fine once they figure it out and we grow into it.
Exactly. I was like a lot of them, especially with drew. I watched him off and on, but he started to grow. This is gonna be the same with whoever they get to be the permenant host. It’ll be hard to adjust, but I’d rather legendary shows like price, or jeopardy march on. I’d take those shows over the garbage that’s considered daytime/some primetime tv any day.
Ken Did a Great Job As "Guest Host", Jeopardy Is Doing This The Right Way!
Ken Jennings does a great job syndicated! Mayim Bialik does a great job primetime.
Give credit to Johnny Gilbert. Been around way longer when I was born in 1999.
Ken did so great on The Chase, can't wait to see him guest host on JEOPARDY! starting tomorrow night
He was so good on The Chase! I think Ken Jennings is gonna do so well hosting Jeopardy! Prediction: Ken Jennings will be named as Alex Trebek's Successor as Host
Ken Jennings left The Chase with Sara Haines on ABC so he can officially take over as permanent host of Jeopardy!
Ken Jennings was the perfect replacement for the legendary Jeopardy host Alex Trebek.
That's why Ken Jennings has left The Chase with Sara Haines on ABC, so he can officially take over Jeopardy! as permanent host.
Alex And Ken, They are best friends
What is We Love You, Alex?
obviously, he is irreplaceable but, as he watches from heaven, we know kenny boy is going to make him proud as he carries on his legacy
I know that Jeopardy is going to be different without Alex, I believe that Ken would be great as the host. This would make Alex proud.
Ken was a trivia machine. If he didn't respond FedEx on that question then everything would have kept going.
The start of a new era.
Godspeed to Ken and the other guest hosts these next few weeks.
Ken Jennings will likely be named as Alex Trebek's Successor as Host
Wow. Johnny Gilbert really handled calling Ken Jennings pretty well. I bet he really misses Alex. The two were like brothers with an inseparable bond. But on November 8, 2020, that bond was broken forever with the passing of Alex Trebek.
Bonds never end. Johnny and Alex are bonded in spirit forever.
Hey, it's Ken Jennings! I use to watch this guy dominate the show! To see him return as the first guest host must be a great honor for him! Go make Alex Trebek proud, Ken!
Ken Jennings is the best! My opinion is that he will likely be named as Alex Trebek's Successor as Host! He's suited perfect for the role as Host!
Remember Johnny did say Ken Jennings for 75 games in a row when it came to introducing contestants it’s definitely going to be weird
Guest host? So what you are saying is that Alex might come back? Through maybe an AI? Would be interesting to see
There's going to be several guest hosts over the rest of the season. Katie Couric has been confirmed as well, no other names yet (besides rumors)
GUEST? GUEST?!?! MAKE HIM THE PERMANENT HOST GOD DAMNIT
He can do it I know he can
I feel like jeopardy will never be the same 💔 without Alex
Ken Jennings is now on the syndicated version! Mayim Bialik is now on the primetime version.
Rest in Peace Alex Trebek
Vote for Ken Jennings, as the new Jeopardy! host.
Let's go, Ken! Ah, but how is he gonna balance Jeopardy hosting with The Chase?
For now, Ken's only an interim host. But besides these things are taped, Jeopardy does like 5 shows a day when they tape so I don't think it would me too hard to work around.
@@marcpower4167 Oh... that should give Ken some leeway for being on The Chase on Thursday nights
Jennings is a grateful win, now, he’s ready for a new host.
Ken Jennings is officially new host of Jeopardy!
I think it won’t feel normal with Ken hosting but I think he will do a great job. At least my local station that puts on Jeopardy does reruns at 2 PM and that days new episode is on at 3:30 PM
No one can replace Alex but if there was anyone who could follow him it would be Ken Jennings
Ken Jennings is and has been the extremely most perfect replacement for Alex Trebek.
sad to see Alex gone, but I’m glad they chose Ken to guest host, he’s one of my favorite past competitors and I couldn’t have thought of anyone better to host the show :)
This was probably planned for a while. Makes perfect sense that Ken is hosting it for the time being
Ken Jennings is the perfect syndicated host! Mayim Bialik is the perfect primetime host.
I've never bean more exicted.
*been Bean is a food, such as kidney bean, navy bean, black bean, pinto bean, etc. 😊
I can hear the reluctant tone of Johnny Gilbert when he introduces Ken Jennings ... after years and years of saying the same sentence over and over for Jeopardy, a change in scene, but a bad one.
@Mardon Animations, you, and anyone that up voted your stupid comment, are reasons of why the Coronavirus exist. Ken Jennings is going to be a good host of Jeopardy. Moreover, was not Alex Trebek taking over the hosting duties for Jeopardy from Art Fleming, thus making HIM a person that replaced a host of a show first? The harsh truth is that times change, people change, and people die, so get over it you elitist and hypocritical jerks!
You do realize the person didn’t say anything bad about Ken hosting in the first place, right?
maybe it's just your vague imagination
You can hear Ken’s voice starting to break when he said he misses Alex very much. 😢😭
Sounds nice. He's one of the Chasers on ABC and now he's a guest host on Jeopardy!
Ken Jennings is now gone from The Chase with Sara Haines on ABC so he can officially take over as permanent host of Jeopardy!
I think Ken will be a good host
Ken Jennings is the excellent host of Jeopardy!
Looks like Johnny Gilbert will never retire. Here is the guest host of jeopardy Ken Jennings. It’s so sad we’re all going to miss Alex Trebek 😞.
Geez. Imagine when he's no longer there.
Cautiously optimistic.
I miss Alex Trebek as the host of “Jeopardy!” and he will be missed and remembered!😍
Before y’all bash Ken for hosting, remember, this is what Alex wanted. He wanted the game to go on after he passed away no matter what.
00:10 it sounds like ken is gonna cry
Most people saw this coming!
Ken Jennings becoming the syndicated host! Mayim Bialik becoming the primetime host.
I think ken is a good idea
Ken Jennings is the perfect choice to succeed Alex Trebek
Ken Jennings is the brilliant idea!
I wonder if they'll let Alex Faust host some shows since that was Alex's choice for a replacement.
Alex mentioned Laura Coates as well, I could picture her doing a few shows too.
Why don't they get "Edge of Tomorrow" and "American Made" star Tom Cruise to appear as Guest Host on Jeopardy
It felt weird to not hear Johnny say “Here is the host of Jeopardy, Alex Trebek!”
Johnny Gilbert is 92 and still going strong. It's unfortunate that Alex got cancer. Doctors don't know why people such as Alex develop cancer. More research needs to be done to find a cure. Many celebrities have died from Pancreatic cancer, some at even a younger age then Alex was
Johnny’s 96.
Continuing a legacy.
I figured they'd bring Ken in, but I'm surprised its only temporary.
At least 30 episodes or six weeks.
He better get the permanent job
Mr.Jennings will be 1st guest hosting.
Just give Ken the job
Ken Jennings has the syndicated version job! Mayim Bialik has the primetime version job.
we’re gonna be hearing at least ken jennings and katie couric’s name called before we get an actual permanent hose, wow.
*host 😉
Oh please not Katie couric
@@susiewithrow1626 why don't you like her?
She’s totally passé. And she plays on her “little girlishness”. I don’t dislike her just don’t see her as a host
Why not "interim host"
It's because there will be several "guest hosts" for the remainder of the season. Katie Couric has been confirmed. "Interim host" sounds more long term than a week or two.
Saw the WLKY version of this promo ("join WLKY for Jeopardy").
ABC News senior white house correspondent, Cecilia Vega has a game show voice because, she can guest host & be the new permanent host of "Jeopardy!"
Jeopardy Champion Ken Jennings will likely be named as Alex Trebek's Successor as Host of Jeopardy!
Let us be honest, Ken Jennings just needs to be the new host of Jeopardy. I mean, think about it for a second, he not only played the game like a boss, but he essentially broke the game so much that he made what Paul Michael Larson did during the original 1980s version of Press Your Luck seem downright amateurish in comparison. Ken Jennings essentially did the game show equivalent of challenging the professional wrestling quote of Ric Flair when he said, "To be the man, you got to beat the man", and he not only challenged said quote, he did so in an epic fashion to boot.
Please give Bob Harris a chance to guest host too. He had perhaps the wittiest personality of any Jeopardy legend.
Will a permanent host be named before the start of Season 38?
Jeopardy Champion Ken Jennings will likely be named as Alex Trebek's Successor as Host! He's the Perfect Choice to succeed Alex Trebek
Oh dear God, I hope and pray not! After this season is over, Sony just needs to pull the plug on this show!
