Ken Jennings ‘done playing Mr. Nice Guy’ as Jeopardy! host is ‘clinging’ to his hosting gig
Ken Jennings is under “intense pressure” to keep his hosting position on Jeopardy!
That’s what a source claims about the 50-year-old trivia show host.
Ken has been hosting Jeopardy! since January 2021.
Following the death of longtime host Alex Trebek, Ken was among several contenders to replace the legendary TV icon.
Ken was named co-host alongside Mayim Bialik in 2022, but Sony Pictures Television has since fired The Big Bang Theory star.
Ken has been handling Jeopardy!’s hosting duties solo, and while many viewers feel that he’s doing a good job, some say he’s not quite hacking it.
Ken Jennings ‘has no intention’ of leaving Jeopardy!
A Jeopardy! insider recently spoke with Closer Weekly and revealed that the show’s executives are working on pushing out Ken following some on-air blunders and favoritism towards contestants.
But Ken is ready to go down swinging if that’s what it takes to keep his job.
