Rebecca Rubin Film and Media ReporterWho will be the next host of “Jeopardy”?For regular viewers of the long-running quiz show, buzzing in to guess Mayim Bialik or Ken Jennings — who have been alternating as emcee following Alex Trebek’s death — would seem like the correct response.But in reality, it’s still unclear who will lead “Jeopardy” beyond this year.After the turn to find Trebek’s successor became messy, Bialik and Jennings were hired as interim hosts throughout the remainder of Season 39, which is currently airing. After that, there’s no word yet on whether a new hosting contender might be considered, or if a choice will be made between Jennings and Bialik. Another option: Sony Pictures Television, the show’s producer, could decide to stick with the status quo and allow the duo continue splitting duties.

mentioned Coates again in 2019.“I actually was as shocked as anyone else was when he first said it … and I was thrilled when he said my name,” Coates told Tamron Hall on Monday. “I thought, ‘My God.
This person that I have watched my whole life really, even knows my name let alone thinks that I would be worthy enough to fill his shoes which frankly can’t be filled?” she said.But Coates said she was shut down when she reached out to the quiz show’s producers when they were auditioning potential hosts.“I asked for the opportunity when it came time, when they were looking for people to possibly fill in,” she told Hall. “I certainly raised my hand and knocked on doors and found them closed.
I asked for the opportunity. I was told, ‘No.'”Former “Jeopardy!” executive producer Mike Richards, who had overseen the search for a replacement, named himself as the new host in August 2021, prompting heavy backlash against what critics said was a rigged selection process.
It ultimately came to nothing, however, as Richards ended up fired less than a week later, after past offensive comments, and his involvement in a wrongful termination lawsuit, came to light. Prior to all that, fans were upset that Coates didn’t even get to try out.
After the scandal broke, she tweeted this Trebek quote: “Don’t tell me what you believe in. I’ll observe how you behave and I will make my own determination.”Mayim Bialik, who was originally named to host “Jeopardy!” primetime specials and former contestant Ken Jennings currently share co-hosting duties of the daytime show.Representatives for Jeopardy and for Coates didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment from TheWrap
