31.Ken Jennings and Mayim Bialik have been switching off hosting duties for the current season. The pair gave their first joint interview about their emcee gig during Monday’s episode of “Good Morning America.”Jennings, 48, and Bialik, 46, spoke about the pressures of the job as well as living up to legacy of the late, longtime host, Alex Trebek.
He passed away in November 2020.Jennings is a former “Jeopardy!” champ himself, having scored a win in 74 games in a row. He noted that hosting is harder than being a contestant.“I mean, I had played so many games right here that I thought ‘I have a pretty good sense of what hosting is going to be like’ and then you realize hosting’s even harder, because you basically have to do everything the contestants do, plus manage the game for them, plus manage the game for the home viewer,” he revealed on the talk show.“I just feel so lucky,” he went on, adding that he holds Trebek’s memory close to his heart when he hosts.
“To this day, I still hear Alex echoing in my head every time.”The “Big Bang Theory” star also feels a strong connection to the late host. “I feel like Alex’s presence is here,” Bialik said.
