(AP) — Usually on a quiz show, there’s only one right answer to a question. But the producers of “Jeopardy!” have decided there are two correct answers to a question people have been asking since Alex Trebek died in 2020: who should take over as host of the show? The dual answer is Mayim Bialik and Ken Jennings. Producers say they’ll continue to serve as permanent rotating hosts. An announcement made by “Jeopardy!” executive producer Michael Davies says Bialik and Jennings give the show “two outstanding hosts” with their own fanbases who can attract new fans — and hold on to traditional viewers of the game show. The rotation between the two will begin with the new season in September.
