Who are your new hosts?
We'll take Mike Richards and Mayim Bialik for $2,000. Sony Pictures Television announced on Aug. 11 that after a long search that commenced when Alex Trebek passed this past November, the show's executive producer and The Big Bang Theory star were tapped for the role.
According to a press release, Richards will assume the position of full-time host of Jeopardy!'s daily syndicated program starting with season 38, while Bialik will host the show's primetime and spinoff series, including Jeopardy! National College Championship set to air on ABC next year.
Richards will also continue to fulfill his current job as the producer of both Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune, while fan-favorite champion Ken Jennings, who was once considered a frontrunner for the permanent hosting gig, will return as consulting producer for the popular quiz show.
