‘Jeopardy!’ Announces Mike Richards and Mayim Bialik as New Hosts
The New York Times
The long-running game show decided to turn to two hosts to succeed Alex Trebek, the beloved television personality who died last year.
After the death of longtime “Jeopardy!” host Alex Trebek, the game show has decided that it will take not one — but two — people to fill his shoes. The show announced on Wednesday that Mike Richards, a television executive, will become the show’s regular host, and Mayim Bialik, an actress and neuroscientist, will take over the role for special prime time and spinoff episodes, which include a new college championship tournament set to air next year on ABC. The move puts an end to months of speculation on who will replace Trebek, who had been hosting the show for 36 years when he died of pancreatic cancer. Bialik, who is known for her roles in the sitcoms “The Big Bang Theory” and “Blossom,” will be the first woman to be a permanent host of “Jeopardy!”
