Who Is Currently Hosting 'Jeopardy!'?

Many fans are still waiting for "Jeopardy!" executives to make an official decision as to who will be the next host of "Jeopardy!"

After Mike Richards was unceremoniously fired as both host and executive producer of the long-running game show, "The Big Bang Theory" alum Mayim Bialik, who had been hired on to host just the special tournaments, found herself behind the hosting podium full-time as season 38 kicked off.

Shortly after, "Jeopardy!" Greatest of All Time tournament winner Ken Jennings jumped in to help pick up the slack and allow Mayim to film the upcoming season of her Fox sitcom "Call Me Kat."

Mayim's sitcom has just been renewed for another season, while Ken has quit being a Chaser on NBC's "The Chase." This is leading many fans to suspect that Ken will be announced as the new host of "Jeopardy!".

As for right now, Mayim is still behind the podium and will be there for "a few months," according to Ken, although he did say that fans can look forward to seeing him host against before season 38 comes to a close this summer.

Regardless of who's hosting, late host Alex Trebek has always said that the show is about the contestants, and we hope whoever is selected to host the show full-time will make Alex proud!
