Jeopardy! First Night with New Guest Host

Since Alex Trebek’s tragic death of pancreatic cancer in November of last year, Jeopardy! has announced several guest hosts that will attempt to fill his shoes. The first was Ken Jennings, who fans of the show absolutely adored. Jennings competed on the show and became the winningest contestant in the history of the show. He also became the highest-paid contestant on any game show.

Tonight, a new guest host will take the reins from Ken Jennings following his six-week stretch hosting Jeopardy!. Katie Couric, the long-time news anchor and co-founder of the Stand Up to Cancer Society will take her turn behind the podium. She even expressed her gratitude to Alex Trebek on Instagram before her first show. “

“This happened,” she wrote in her Instagram post along with a joking Jeopardy! style question. “A privilege to honor the extraordinary Alex Trebek.”
