The saga of replacing the late Alex Trebek as the host of Jeopardy has featured many twists and turns, and now it’s moved into head-to-head competition. Jeopardy's permanent co-hosts Ken Jennings and Mayim Bialik received individual nominations for Outstanding Host for a Game Show, meaning they will compete with each other alongside Wheel of Fortune's Pat Sajak, Family Feud's Steve Harvey, and Password's Keke Palmer.

Usually, multiple hosts from the same show are nominated together for Emmy purposes. This year, all five Queer Eye hosts are nominated as one single entity in the Host for a Reality Competition category, as are Amy Poehler and Maya Rudolph for Baking It. But Jennings and Bialik, who have been alternating as Jeopardy hosts since they took over officially after the Mike Richards fiasco in 2021, are nominated separately.
