Jeopardy!” fans are starting to get really frustrated with the lack of clarity surrounding the next host.

Ken Jennings and Mayim Bialik have been sharing hosting duties.

Bialik has been hosting most of the primetime specials and tournaments.

Jennings has been hosting most of the regular gameplay.

However, fans are noticing a distinct way each host is introduced.

When Jennings takes the stage, Johnny Gilbert says, “And now hosting ‘Jeopardy!’, Ken Jennings!”

When Bialik takes the stage, Gilbert says, “And now, here is the host of ‘Jeopardy!’, Mayim Bialik!”

[{"selector":"#anim-cbe8da48-7bbd-4d24-b656-661e980acf76","keyframes":[{"transform":"scale(1)","offset":0},{"transform":"scale(1.01)","offset":0.33},{"transform":"scale(0.999)","offset":0.66},{"transform":"scale(1)","offset":1}],"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}]

It’s causing many to wonder why Ken isn’t regarded as “the” host.

Sony has yet to provide comment on the controversy.
