Ken Jennings steps up to the lectern today as our first guest host – but not before honoring Alex.

"No one will ever replace the great Alex Trebek, but we can honor him by playing the game he loved." Ken Jennings welcomes us to the Trebek-less world of Jeopardy!.

Ken Jennings did a great job in his first episode. He gave a very touching opening statement and was quite personable. Alex Trebek loved Jeopardy and thought very highly of Ken Jennings. No one can ever replace him, but I think Ken did Alex proud #Jeopardy

I saw Ken Jennings hosting Jeopardy this evening. He brings a vibe very similar to Alex Trebek and did a good job; however, we can all agree that Gilbert Gottfried should be the next Jeopardy host.

Well done Ken Jennings https://t.co/DYXXbK0ySv
