Little did he know, he would some day become the host.

[@Frankie-O]

Ken Jennings would someday become the future Jeopardy! host, and glad he did.

[@JohnAckerman93]

Ken is an amazing host. I know Alex is very happy with the decision the show made to pick him as the host. He has a great personality as well

[@itsyagirlketa2095]

Yes you're a genius Ken. Congrats on the jeopardy title "GREATEST OF ALL TIMES"

[@adamstewart5845]

He's just "Greatest of All Time". The jury is still out on whether that's true for alternate timelines.

[@phoghat]

I don't think that Ken is a "genius" but he is like me kind of a nerd who is able to read something once and be able to recall it. I have had it since I was in grade school when the nun would show me off to her sister nuns by calling them into the room and having me read a page from any book that the other nun desired. I would read the page she would close the book and I would recite as I got older maybe because I went to Catholic School my edge became a little dulled.

[@cards0486]

I just love Ken. He was the only long time winner I never got sick of. I certainly hope no one ever beats his record. When we lost Alex I could only think of one person that could step in as host. We were all fragile and needed comforting. We needed someone that loved Alex and shared our feelings. Ken was perfect to guide us through those first difficult days. Now, it’s so obvious Ken was the logical phone.

[@SharpLady53]

Ken, you have done a beautiful job this week guest hosting. Tough job. I hope you are made the perminent host. Cordial, kind, humble, and professional. Thanks for serving the stewardship so well. 🌈

[@msmith1418]

Ken is a *HUMAN* Dictionary. His family is so lucky to have him around when needed.

[@ajsy1090]

From Jeopardy! player to GOAT to become a sole host in syndicated version of the show

[@barrycowan3540]

He's a wonderful and worthy successor to Alex Trebek as host - he's witty, sincere, humble and genuine. Let's Jep it up!

[@ninjapirate123]

He's now the host of Jeopardy

[@marilynb8136]

Watching Ken Jennings play on Jeopardy made me a forever fan!!! I've learned so much from this show!!! My favorite will always be Ken!!!!

[@iancrossley6637]

Ken, So glad you won the 'greatest'. I think you would be the perfect spokesman for H&R Block (sorry to bring up a sore subject) after all, it's about questions and answers. Something you know something about.

[@AWB_Official-r6t]

That's why he's the GOAT!

[@kevinslothower5309]

He is outstanding keep his as the jeopardy host. You could not ask for a better person at this time to be the host. If you go to other hosts have women and men who held jeopardy records as fill in hosts.

[@AndySaenz]

He could very well be Alex Trebek’s replacement! I can’t wait to see how he hosts this show!

[@Frankie-O]

Ken Jennings as the next Alex Trebek, and glad he is.

[@Grimlock794]

I love seeing someone succeed on TV because they studied hard. Ken you're the GOAT!

[@hikesystem7721]

Ken is such a smart, funny, nice guy. I'm glad he is host now.

[@Frankie-O]

I'm glad Ken Jennings is syndicated version host! I'm glad Mayim Bialik is primetime version host.

[@hikesystem7721]

@@Frankie-O ?? What's the difference?

[@Frankie-O]

There's no difference.

[@AM76585]

Ken, still in fabulous Seattle?Oh yes,Elliott Bay bookstore!😊

[@denelson83]

Sony should one day hire Ken to write clues for Jeopardy!.

[@harasitara]

I like how they blurred his Mickey Mouse watch.

James the current champ is way ahead of his pace

Love you ken and im glad i am not dissapointed lately they been putting the wrong pwople up good luck ken cant wait

[@brycekopp1012]

For the record just by looking at his shelf, man has a PHENOMENAL taste in comics/graphic novels

[@Frankie-O]

😃

[@jonstefanik9400]

With Alex's passing today the world mourns. If they go on with Jeopardy, which I hope they will this is the only man worthy of being the new host. Rest In Peace Alex Trebek. Step up to the plate Ken Jennings.

[@rileysutton2823]

0:43 Where did Ken Jennings get the Jeopardy water bottle from?

[@SharpLady53]

The Jeopardy! Store, naturally.🤗

[@alexisflorez3678]

Ken Jennings,the older he gets the better he seems to be

[@justinm.1]

I wonder how he would’ve done if he was competing this year instead of back in 2004 🤔

[@Sticks-of-TNT-tf1tn]

@Anthony Guarino That’s going out on a limb.

[@hudsongraham2603]

Justin M. Probably even better than a lot of people probably not all people but some people or most people that might get defeated by him. James would just defeat in like only a day because he gambles on that. But I think ken is better than James in my opinion tho.

[@Pwn3dbyth3n00b]

@@hudsongraham2603 the fact that James out plays people statistically with his gambles and intellectually with correct answers I doubt Ken could beat him 1 on 1 without copying him. Ken only knows his stuff. James knows his stuff and knows how to "play" play the game

[@thesoftparade1990]

@@Pwn3dbyth3n00b Ken proved he can play the high stakes game during the G.O.A.T tournament.

[@phoghat]

Mr Jennings, what can we do to make you a permanent host? I really enjoy it when you are there. Other times I enjoy the game but not the host and there are times we're both myself and other people thought the other house had made mistakes. Please

[@Tiernan422]

“Jeprady”

[@efisgpr]

I'm buying anything he writes for kids. I hope it helps my daughter be a little smarter.

[@boringlyfactual6368]

Brainiac was a terrific read. Check it out y’all!

[@hudsongraham2603]

Ken is famous looking

[@kolst8406]

What is a ho?

[@EricSmyth2Christ]

He's a Mormon

[@jacobhillis4676]

What if he passed away at 74

[@jackson5116]

in the year he'd have turned 75 (he lost on his 75th game), would truly be freaky.

[@Frankie-O]

Fred Rogers, everybody's neighbor; R. Lee Ermey, everybody's drill sergeant.

[@ninjapirate123]

I dont think so

[@Thedjsmokeybear]

Does he have a wife ?

[@Manima108]

yes. he has 2 kids and a wife

[@Thedjsmokeybear]

There’s never any mentioning of her

[@tykuresa22]

Name probably protecting his family by limiting their mentioning. He’s talked about them in other videos

[@whouse7]

The six thumbs down lost to him👎

[@JL-fx5cm]

This man ruined the Greatest of all Time Jeopardy Tournament. Who is Brad Rutter? Correct! James deserves a proper rematch.

[@157jtm]

There won't be a rematch now. Jennings was hired by Jeopardy producers to be a member of their team. It would actually be against the law for him to ever appear as a contestant again.

[@JL-fx5cm]

@@157jtm Everyone knows that. But, thanks for contributing. "This just in! We landed on the Moon!"

[@ninjapirate123]

why do u want a rematch

[@CharlesLumia]

Seems like a cool guy when he isn't making crazy tweets about politics. A lady who was supporting the reboot of a TV show that her deceased son enjoyed and Jennings attacked her because of politics. Absolute insanity.

[@prennt57g99]

The Did you mean to say Mormon or did you mean moron?

[@johnroberts4078]

I wish Jennings would spend less time making his jokes and asides (which the better players tend to ignore) and concentrate on getting the rules of the game correct. His timing is off, he continues to miss wrong or incorrectly phrases answers (questions) and makes inconsistent requests for 'more information' or 'incorrect.'
