With the passing of Alex Trebek, there were big hosting shoes left to fill for Jeopardy!

No permanent host has been announced, rather a slew of guest hosts will take turns hosting the iconic quiz show.

Ken Jennings, a former contestant and now consulting producer, has been holding down the fort and will continue to do so through February 19th.
