Current Host of Jeopardy
As of the most recent seasons, Ken Jennings hosts the syndicated version of Jeopardy. He became the permanent host after serving as a guest host during the transition period following the departure of the previous host. Jennings is widely recognized for his record-setting winning streak on the show before moving to the podium.
Previous Hosts and Their Tenures
Art Fleming was the original host when Jeopardy first aired in 1964. He hosted the original NBC run and later returned for revivals. Alex Trebek hosted the modern daily syndicated version from 1984 until his death in 2020, making him the longest-serving host in the show's history.
Guest Hosts and Interim Period
After Alex Trebek's passing, several guest hosts filled in, including Ken Jennings, Mike Richards, and others. Mike Richards briefly served as the permanent host before departing the role. The show then settled on Ken Jennings as the sole host for the regular syndicated run.
