DANGER! Fans think they’ve cracked the code on the new spinoff’s next host.

It was announced earlier this week that a game show, centered on entertainment and pop culture topics, will soon stream on Amazon Prime Video.

Pop culture danger! excited several social media fans after it was announced and caused several investigators to try to find out more information about what the show would involve.

Despite the streaming platform, further details about presenters, contestants and other areas have not been announced.

Some speculated that current host Ken Jennings would take on the role, while others thought it could be someone new.

Fans on Reddit flocked to the site to discuss news of the show’s launch and speculated about who would perform.

“Time to speculate on the hosts! Unless Ken is doing it, which is also cool. Please no Seacrest,” one fan wrote in a game show thread.

Ryan Seacrest is set to take over from Pat Sajak as host of Wheel of Fortune, which has left fans upset.

Another fan seems to think they’ve figured out who will face Pop Culture Jeopardy! work.

“Katie Nolan,” simply responded one fan.

Sportscaster Katie Nolan worked on Apple TV+’s Friday Night Baseball and previously appeared on Celebrity Jeopardy!

She won Final Jeopardy! with a $9,000 lead after his opponents gambled their winnings and lost.

The television presenter appeared to have interacted with the show via social media, which fans took as a clue.

“She retweeted this article and has worked with Michael Davies before,” wrote a third fan.

Michael Davies is a game show producer who works on Jeopardy! and other programs such as Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.

Another fan suggested she would be “fun,” while others thought other hosts would have a chance.

FAMILIAR FACES?

“I think Buzzy, although my dream choice for a show like this is Questlove. The man is a living encyclopedia of pop culture,” a fifth speculated.

Buzzy Cohen is a music executive from Los Angeles who has already impressed fans with his knowledge of pop culture.

He won the 2017 Tournament of Champions and later appeared in the All-Star Games.

The star was also invited to the show’s 2021 Tournament of Champions following the death of Alex Trebek.

Danger! guest hosts

Since Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek died in November 2020, the beloved game show has continued with several guest hosts in 2021 to the present day:

“I was super excited about it, but with Buzzy I would be over the moon!” added another Reddit user.

“Would we dare dream of bon vivant and man-about-town Steve Martin Sam Buttrey?” suggested another in reference to a contestant, Sam Buttrey, who looks like Steve Martin.

TECHNICAL PROBLEMS

There has been no announcement of the next host, but fans have already criticized the show after the application process failed.

A website failure prevented users from putting their name in the running for a new competition.

On Wednesday, the official Instagram page for Jeopardy! encouraged his followers to sign up to be contestants through a graphic.

They included a link to their website where fans could enter their details.

But fans had difficulty accessing the site due to a technical error and expressed their frustrations in the comments.

“What does a girl have to do to get access permission?” one person wrote.

“So no one else can click Create a new team, right? I created my account and now nothing?” another perplexed fan asked.

“Is anyone else being denied access?” asked a third.

“I tried to sign up twice and got an error message after submitting,” complained a fourth.

Several fans thought that Susan Noles might accept the role of host of Pop Culture Jeopardy!
