Ken Jennings will once again be hosting Celebrity Jeopardy! for its third season. The popular game show host confirmed his return with a selfie on social media. Fans are thrilled with the news, expressing their excitement for Jennings' return. The announcement comes amidst speculation about Jennings hosting another Jeopardy! spinoff series, Pop Culture Jeopardy!, which is currently hosted by Colin Jost. Jost addressed the rumors, stating he has no intention of taking Jennings' job.
Ken Jennings will be back to host season 3 of Celebrity Jeopardy!. A selfie of the 50-year-old game show host was posted to both the Celebrity Jeopardy! and regular Jeopardy! Instagram pages confirming he would be returning. Actress Mayim Bialik hosted the first season of Celebrity Jeopardy! in 2022 before Jennings replaced her for the second season, which premiered in 2023. In the selfie, Jennings is seen dressed in a suit as he flashes a smile from the set.
The photo was captioned, 'Ken's ready for the new season of #CelebrityJeopardy!, are you? Watch the season premiere January 8 at a NEW TIME, 9/8c on ABC, and stream on Hulu!' Fans took to the comment section to voice their excitement that Jennings would return to his hosting duties. The announcement comes as Colin Jost began hosting another Jeopardy! spinoff series — Pop Culture Jeopardy!. Some fans were concerned why Jennings wasn't hosting that iteration of the show, even going as far to speculate that Jost, 42, was trying to take his job as host of the hit game show. However, in a Tuesday, December 3 interview with The Ringer, the Saturday Night Live cast member put the rumors to rest. 'I promise I am in no way trying to steal his job. He's very good at his job. I also have a job,' Jost told the outlet. After Jeopardy! icon Alex Trebek — who had hosted the show since 1984 — passed away in 2020, production tried out a few different people before landing on Jennings to host the beloved game show in 2021. The Massachusetts native famously had his own run as a contestant in 2004
