Alongside the picture, Ken tweeted: “Happy 33rd anniversary of the Garfield strip where Jon drinks dog semen!”

Ken Jennings hosted Jeopardy! since 2021, as he and Mayim Bialik have alternated as hosts of the series. Now, the highest-earning American game show contestant has fans asking when he’s coming back for good.

The American game show host, who has won a total of $4,522,700 on five different game shows, has split hosting duties on a new full-time basis since July 2022 – beginning with Jeopardy!‘s 39th season.

Now, Ken is sometimes there to present the game show alongside Mayim, but many are wondering when he is coming back properly and where he has been this week. So, when is he returning and how much does he make?

When is Ken…

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The ‘Jeopardy! Masters’ competition 2023 is in full swing. The competition returned on May 8 with six contestants vying for a $500,000 win and the Trek Trophy named in memory of former late host Alex Trebek. The tournament has a pretty exciting lineup of contestants. Amy Schneider, Matt Amodio, Mattea Roach, Sam Buttrey, James Holzhaeur, and Andrew He, are all in it deep and fighting like sharks for the big prize.

Jeopardy! host Mayim Bialik, in solidarity with striking WGA writers, stepped down from hosting the hit quiz show this week. Ken Jennings, Jeopardy!‘s alternate host and past champion, then stepped up to take on hosting duties for the season’s final week of filming from May 16 to 19. In doing so, he crossed the writers strike picket line. Disappointing!

Deadline:

Jeopardy!, which is produced by Sony Pictures Television, is a WGA show and features contributions from WGA writers, but the questions were written in advance of a season and the strike.

Bialik and Jennings have shared hosting duties this season; Jennings hosted the first stretch of episodes between August and December with Bialik starting in January. Jennings will now host the last…

While plenty of films and TV shows have been impacted by the writers strike, it looks as though ‘Jeopardy!’ may be the first game show to be affected.

This comes after host Mayim Bialik decided she won’t host the final week of filming for Season 39, showing solidarity with the Writers Guild of America as per Deadline.

However, production for the final few episodes of the season are moving forward as Ken Jennings will take over the remainder of Bialik’s filming.

The show is a WGA show and features contributions from WGA writers, though the questions for the season were written in advance.

The final episodes of the season will be filmed at the Sony Pictures lot in Culver City from Tuesday, May 16 to Friday, May 19.
