Will "Jeopardy!" host Ken Jennings be creating an OnlyFans account? It's certainly giving some fans food for thought!
It all started when a recent contestant, Anji Nyquist, was reported to be the "hottest contestant ever." She had to take her Instagram private after the show after she revealed she kept getting bombarded with messages from strangers to make an OnlyFans account.
However, one article used a photo of Ken Jennings as their featured image, making it seem like he was the one who was planning on creating an OnlyFans account instead!

Amid news that the native from Minneapolis, Minnesota, was being asked by fans of the show to join OnlyFans, Ken decided to inject some humor into the situation by sharing a screenshot of a headline from Fox News.
The headline reads: “‘Jeopardy!’ champion named ‘hottest contestant ever’ discusses the possibility of joining OnlyFans.” The photo then shows Ken at the hosting podium, although he was a contestant at one time. In 2004, he won 74 games in a row, which is still the longest win streak in the show’s long history.
The headline, especially when combined with the photo, implies that Ken is actually the one being dubbed the “hottest contestant ever” and implies that he plans to join OnlyFans. In the caption, Ken joked, “Let me stress that I haven’t made my decision yet.”
Lilly, who is known for her “Jeopardy!” fashion Twitter account, commented, “The obvious next step is to post a poll and promise to abide by the results…” Another user shared, “Ken, keep your subscription price low and I'll join. I'd say you paying each subscriber $5 a month would be about right.”
Fans Want To Know Ken's Stance On The SAG-AFTRA/Writer's Strike
Other followers took a moment to ask Ken where he was standing in the SAG-AFTRA strike, especially when his co-host, “The Big Bang Theory” actress Mayim Bialik, already took a step back from hosting during the writer’s strike.
“A lot of people are wondering, Ken, whether you will cross the picket line and host if the show intends to go forward with recycled clues. You have a lot of admirers who would very strongly prefer that you join Mayim on the picket line in support of Jeopardy’s core, the writers,” one user wrote.
“And in the last strike, Alex continued to film. As long as the clues are written, I see no problem. If it was good enough for Alex to do, it's good enough for Ken to do,” another user replied.

After winning an episode on July 5, Anji quickly became a social media sensation. She decided to host a question-and-answer session on her Instagram Stories but got way more questions than she bargained for.
In a recent interview with The Sun, Anji admitted that, while she was expecting questions about her experience on the show, she got a lot of questions about her body instead. “I did an ‘ask me anything,'” she explained. “And there were a lot of people who asked, ‘Would you do an OnlyFans? It would be really popular.’”
She did say that she was "flattered" by some of the comments but went on to say, “You’re gonna get some nice people, and you’re gonna get some creeps. I have been getting DMs from random men."

She also said that the "Jeopardy!" stage was "smaller" than what she expected, nothing that the “board and contestants aren’t that far apart.”
However, that didn't put her far away from host Ken Jennings, who she described as "a hero of mine."
