Despite being named the sole host of Jeopardy in 2023, Ken Jennings’ future on the game show isn’t guaranteed. Jennings has been hosting the show since 2021, where he was an initial guest host following the death of Alex Trebek, before assuming the role on a permanent basis. Since then, he has had fun with the role, roasting Wheel of Fortune in a friendly rivalry and making jokes about contestants after they all wind up stumped by an answer.

However, reports now claim that his future isn’t so secure–as he doesn’t have a long-term contract and fears being let go at any time. According to the U.
S. Sun , Jennings has made it clear to the higher-ups that he wants the job for the long-term, in the same way Trebek had it, because he believes he has what it takes to do the job–and he’ll do anything to keep it. “What he really wants more than anything is to stick around and make this position work for the long run,” a source told the publication.
“And if that means making less money to ensure his longevity, you can bet our life he’d be game,” This isn’t all about the money. It’s a way of life for Ken and then some. He’s in it for the long run and to secure his status in the show’s history.
