The Wall Street Journal has reported that the “Jeopardy!” champ was all set to take over Alex Trebek’s spot after the longtime host passed away in November 2020 — until people went digging into his Twitter history.

Jennings, 47, has since apologized for the posts — describing them as “unartful and insensitive” in an open apology — including a tasteless joke that read: “nothing sadder than a hot person in a wheelchair.”

I don't remember ever hearing a definitive statement on that, but I kind of assumed that if Jennings is on every day he was chosen to host.

Who is the replacement, then? I have always been a Jennings fan.

Introduced as the host of Jeopardy. They split the time, or at least they have been. The Jeopardy fans go nuts because she calls Jeopardy, Single Jeopardy.
