ESPN is developing a sports-focused Jeopardy! hosted by Joe Buck, featuring ESPN personalities as contestants, with a summer streaming release on Disney+ and Hulu and potential ABC air. Unlike earlier celebrity-driven sports Jeopardy attempts, this version appears to be celebrity-centric and not open to the general public.
Disney+ and Hulu have ordered ESPN Jeopardy!, a new sports-themed edition hosted by Joe Buck. Sony Pictures TV will produce with Michael Davies as executive producer. The tournament-style show aims for a $500,000 grand prize for the champion and expands the Jeopardy! universe within Disney’s streaming ecosystem; Buck’s involvement comes as part of his ongoing ESPN deal, continuing his long tenure with the network alongside his other hosting and play-by-play duties.

Buck, ESPN’s Monday Night Football lead play-by-play voice, previously guest-hosted Jeopardy! in 2021 after Alex Trebek’s death, and the new edition is expected to feature celebrity contestants with multiple ESPN talents likely participating.
