Ken Jennings replaces Mayim Bialik as sole host of 'Jeopardy!'

Mayim Bialik has announced her departure from hosting "Jeopardy!" after being informed by Sony that she will no longer be hosting the syndicated version of the show. The decision was made to have one host for the upcoming season to maintain continuity. Bialik and Ken Jennings were initially chosen as permanent joint hosts following the death of Alex Trebek, but controversy surrounding executive producer Mike Richards led to his resignation. Bialik had previously stepped back from hosting duties due to the writers strike.
