#ALEX TREBEK SUCCESSOR TV#
Why him? Certainly, he's got the classic presence for a stately TV game show like "Jeopardy!" and, at least right now, he's free: "DWTS" let him go ahead of its most recent 29th season. Related: Jean Trebek let fans know she appreciates their support. He's also hosted "Hollywood Squares" and has one Emmy for hosting "DWTS." In addition to hosting "America's Funniest Home Videos" from 2001-15, he also held that slot on "Dancing With the Stars" from 2005-2020. Who's that? Bergeron, 65, has the most TV hosting experience of anyone who has been mentioned as a possible Trebek successor.

Aside from his vast knowledge and close association with the show, Jennings signed on with the show as a producer this season and has presented categories in pre-taped segments, which seemed to signal he was being groomed for the slot.Įxperts analyze: "He represents so much of what everyone would want in a 'Jeopardy!' host," says Claire McNear, author of the just-published " Answers in the Form of Questions: A Definitive History and Insider's Guide to 'Jeopardy!'" (Editor's Note: The book features a foreword by Jennings). Earlier this year, he won $1 million as the winner of the special " Jeopardy! The Greatest of All Time." But Jennings has won in more ways than that, parlaying the celebrity he earned on the show into books, a vibrant social media presence and a regular on Game Show Network's "Best Ever Trivia Show," among other achievements. Who's that? At 46, Jennings is the highest-earning American game show contestant ever, and holds the longest winning streak on "Jeopardy!" along with other show-setting records.
