Here's When Jeopardy Will Announce Alex Trebek's Successor As Host

"Jeopardy!" Million Dollar Celebrity Invitational  Tournament Show Taping
  • The revolving door of guest Jeopardy! hosts will soon come to a stop.
  • The game show's executive producer and guest host Mike Richards toldThe Wall Street Journal that when season 38 begins filming in late July or early August it will do so with the late Alex Trebek's official successor.
  • While not revealing if he already knew who that permanent host might be, Richards said that he'd be surprised if Jeopardy bosses chose someone who hasn't guest-hosted.
  • Richards believes that fans hyping their favorite temporary host online will "definitely play" into their decision. But decision-makers will focus on the online responses that "carries the spirit" of Jeopardy fans over the loudest responses.
