Pass the Podium to Ken Jennings Permanently

Potpourri is a common category on “Jeopardy!” that contains just a little bit of everything. Recently, the term could be applied to recent changes regarding the hosting position on the show. Since longtime host Alex Trebek succumbed to pancreatic cancer, uncertainty grew over who might take over for the “GHOST” or the “Greatest Host of Syndicated TV.” As a result, executives of the program developed a plan to try out a handful of potential hosts. Trivia legend, Ken Jennings was tapped to be the first guest host in the search for the next Trebek.
