Executive producer Michael Davies was asked about the new hosts of the game show at the 49th Daytime Emmy Awards earlier this year. At the time, he mentioned that new faces would be hired pretty soon.He said:“The [Mike Richards] scandal was, as we call it at Jeopardy!, ‘the awkward months.’ But it showed the power of our audience and how passionately our fans care about the program, which is just so important. What’s happened over the course of the season — Matt Amodio, and Amy Schneider and Mattea [Roach] and Ryan [Long] — really made us just remember how incredible the game is. The stars of our show and Mayim and Ken have done incredible job hosting.”Davis added:“We hope to have a hosting announcement very, very soon. But with all of our plans for Jeopardy! — which is more Jeopardy!, not less, more versions —we’re going to need multiple hosts to represent the entire audience, to represent the entire country, in order to take this franchise forward.”However, as per recent reports, Jennings and Bialik have been roped in as permanent hosts and will return next season. The former champion (74 wins) has always received a positive response for his hosting skills from the viewers. Bialik, however, has been on the receiving end multiple times.Jesse's girl🌻☮️🐾@JesTorsRottiesOh dang I’ve missed the show all week b/c I thought Mayim was hosting. I like Ken Jennings.
