On Friday, Deadline announced that ABC is renewing the celebrity version of the longtime quiz show.
The show dates have not yet been confirmed by the broadcaster.
However, the channel stated that it is still unknown who will host the third season since Mayim’s departure.
“It is unclear whether Ken Jennings, who replaced Mayim Bialik will remain as host of the program produced by Sony Pictures Television”, shared the vehicle.
Ken has hosted every other Jeopardy! schedule.
NEW HOST?
Excited trivia fans took to Reddit to discuss the announcement.
“I wonder who will be the host?” one fan asked.
“Ken, I hope,” a second shared.
“It says Ken Jennings is the host, but I hope Mayim Bialik returns to host season three,” said another.
“Let’s get Will Ferrel,” joked a fourth fan, referring to Saturday Night Live Celebrity Jeopardy! skits.
KEN, ARE WE ALONE?
Mayim left Jeopardy! at the end of 2023.
The program released a statement saying that “maintaining continuity” was the reason for the actress’ dismissal.
Mayim also abandoned her Jeopardy! hosting duties in support of the WGA strike last year.
A source stated that his absence was a contributing factor in his departure.

“As vacation begins in Hollywood, I have some Jeopardy! news,” her Instagram statement read at the time of departure.
“Sony has informed me that I will no longer be hosting the syndicated version of Jeopardy!,” she confirmed.
“I am extremely honored to be nominated for a Primetime Emmy as this year’s host and deeply grateful for the opportunity to be part of the Jeopardy! family,” she concluded.
The actress has not indicated plans to return to the franchise, not even for Celebrity Jeopardy!
Ratings soared on Celebrity Jeopardy! despite her being completely absent.
Plus, Ken tended to be a fan favorite when the two stars were co-hosts.
