Jeopardy! fans are eager to see host Ken Jennings show his skills on Dancing with the Stars.
As DWTS Season 33 approaches, various cast rumors are swirling about which dancers and celebrities will appear.
Jennings initially appeared on Jeopardy! as one of the most successful contestants before becoming one of the show’s hosts several years ago.
He’s since gone on to fill the famous shoes of the late Alex Trebek, receiving an Emmy nomination for his work.
However, trying his dancing skills on the ballroom floor might require him to step out of his comfort zone and put on shoes he’s not used to. It’s something fellow game show host Drew Carey from The Price Is Right has done.
Jennings recently addressed whether he would appear on DWTS and Jeopardy! fans seem to support his joining the cast.

Jeopardy! host, Ken Jennings was just questioned about a possible DWTS stint. Though he is now the sole host of the hit game show since Mayim Bialik left, would he be open to the dancing competition? More so, how did the idea even come up? Keep reading for more details and his response to being asked about joining the show.

When it comes to Jeopardy!, the game must always go on, even if it doesn’t air on TV. Such was the case during the May 30 broadcast following the verdict announcement that former president Donald Trump had been found guilty of all 34 felony counts against him. The big news break impacted some affiliate broadcasts, preempting the fan-favorite game show in different regions of the country based on local news broadcasting. On Reddit, some fans let their feelings be known, with one commenting, “Yet again Jeopardy! has been preempted by breaking news on the Austin, TX affiliate. Apparently, there’s a court verdict involving a former reality TV star that’s about to be announced.” “Same with Chicago,” another viewer commented in response, noting that the broadcast was also interrupted in the Midwest.

Ken Jennings is usually lenient when it comes to his role as Jeopardy! host, but he isn’t afraid to get mean and throw some shade when the situation calls for it. On the latest episode of the Inside Jeopardy! podcast, hosts Sarah Whitcomb Foss and Buzzy Cohen played a clip from an off-air segment where a member of the studio audience asked Jennings what happens when a contestant doesn’t answer in the form of a question. “Oh, boy. Do you know what hanging, drawing, and quartering is?” Jennings quipped. The host went on to say that he gets progressively meaner throughout the episode if a contestant continues to mess up that key Jeopardy! rule. He explained, “The rules are actually different in the first and second rounds. In the first round, I get to remind them very sternly. I say, ‘Yes, but please remember your phrases.'” “In the second round,...

Jeopardy! fans have been getting tired of bad gameplay lately. However, after this past week’s shows, they have another reason to complain. An answer given by defending champion Amar Kakirde was wrong, and Ken Jennings called it wrong. However, production reversed the decision during the commercial break.
Here is what fans had to say about the changing of the result to what was considered a “wrong answer.”
Fans Angry That Amar Kakirde Got Call Reversed
Amar Kakirde has been the most recent Jeopardy! champion, but one of his answers has caused controversy among the fans. This is because even Ken Jennings told him he was wrong. However, the production team reversed the decision and gave it to Amar anyway.
Amar Kakirde chose the category “Date of Birth” for $400. The clue said, “Jan. 3, 2009, with the mining of the Genesis block.” The answer was “What is Bitcoin?” No one said that.

Jeopardy! fans are not happy with the recent gameplay lately. On Friday, returning champion Amar Kakirde took on two new contestants, and many fans feel that the new competitors didn’t offer up much of a challenge. They even went as far as to say the challengers “fumbled hard” in the competition.

Yogesh was competing in Jeopardy! The Masters when he stopped host Ken Jennings and corrected his pronunciation of a word. The word was “Everest.”
The clue was: “In 1823, this eponymous man was elevated to superintendent of the survey of India.” When Yogesh answered “Everest,” he pronounced it as “Ee-ver-est.” Ken said that Yogesh was right and pronounced it as “Ever-est.” Yogesh immediately fired back, “He pronounced it Ee-ver-est.”

Despite its exclusive-sounding title, The 1% Club is really anyone’s game.
The Prime Video adaptation stays true to the ongoing British original of the same name, offering as level a playing field as any game show we’ve seen. There’s no real preparation you can do before heading into the massive arena, where 100 players solve logic puzzles as host Patton Oswalt genially presents them. Extensive knowledge of some obscure subject or history won’t come in handy, so don’t bother cramming. You can also save the pop culture trivia, Oswalt’s domain and the basis for Amazon’s upcoming Jeopardy! spin-off. This race isn’t necessarily going to the swiftest either; everyone’s playing under the same time constraints, so there’s no ringing in first to answer.

Masters has ended with a new champion of champions taking the top prize. On Wednesday night’s finale, Victoria Groce, Yogesh Raut, and James Holzhauer competed in two back-to-back, total score games to find out who was the true master of this trio, and one contestant closed with a decisive lead that left no doubt. As was evident from the very beginning of this season, it is indeed Victoria Groce who has emerged as the best of the best this time, handily dispensing with self-proclaimed “final boss” James Holzhauer and Yogesh Raut for the $500,000 cash prize. Here’s how it all went down.

Will Stewart accrued more than $70,000 over three games of Jeopardy! After seeing his devastating loss, many fans are blaming Ken Jennings for throwing the contestant off during the show. Keep reading to see why Jeopardy! viewers are pointing the finger at the game show host.
Ken Jennings Asks For A More Specific Answer
On Wednesday, Will, a political organizer from Nashville, went up against Arizona resident Grant DeYoung and Kathy Olson of Pennsylvania. Fans were buzzing about Will’s run on the game show so far. He was on a Jeopardy! winning streak and viewers were excited to see how far he’d go.

Surprisingly, the Daily Double losses aren’t what led to Will’s demise on the game show. There...

Jeopardy! saw a new champion take over, with Grant DeYoung winning the game on Wednesday. However, what was surprising about the new champion was what happened to him before he showed up on the popular television game show.

While the announcement for Jeopardy!‘s new streaming spinoff came just days ago, fans are already upset. Not only do some feel like it is dumbing down the content, but now the Pop Culture spinoff is having glaring technical difficulties.
Jeopardy! Pop Culture
Although some fans are happy to see Jeopardy! diversifying and broadening their reach, others think the new pop culture spinoff is blasphemy. Undoubtedly, it is a turn from the traditional sixty-year-old game show, but it has plenty of nods to the original. Soon the new series promises to stream on Amazon Prime Video making it the first Jeopardy show offered worldwide. Furthermore, it promises upbeat topics from movies, sports, TV shows, music, and glamorous Hollywood references. While competing, contestants will be in groups of three instead of standing alone to fight for a “grand prize and ultimate bragging rights.” Some fans are stoked to see this spinoff:...

Political organizer Will Stewart entered Wednesday’s (May 15) Jeopardy! with a three-day total of $70,501 and plenty of confidence to continue his winning streak. However, Stewart ended up losing the episode in a closely fought battle with grocery clerk Grant DeYoung, and some fans think host Ken Jennings is to blame for the loss. Stewart picked up right where he left off in the opening round, answering 12 correct clues, including the first Daily Double, to give him the lead with $7,600. Meanwhile, DeYoung trailed with $3,400, and fellow contestant Kathy Olson stood at $1,800. The game heated up in Double Jeopardy! after DeYoung found both Daily Doubles, though he chose to split them rather than go all in. This made things super tight between Stewart and DeYoung as they raced to answer the final clues. But this is where the controversy happened. DeYoung selected the second-to-last clue, which came under the “In The Period Film” category.

The “Jeopardy!” brand is expanding again.

In the wake of headline-making docuseries Quiet on Set, its subject Dan Schneider is facing new claims of sexual misconduct.
Former All That star Lori Beth Denberg tells Business Insider, in an interview conducted by Quiet on Set executive producer Kate Taylor, that Schneider played pornography for her, lashed out at her on set and once initiated phone sex.
In 1995, the powerful kids TV producer, who served as head writer on All That, called Denberg into his office, telling her that a female producer had met with him to discuss Denberg’s weight gain. He was reportedly upset and told Denberg he should’ve been the one to talk with her, since he “understood what it was like to be overweight,” Business Insider writes.
The conversation shifted, Denberg says, and Schneider showed Denberg, who was 19 at the time, pornography clips on his computer. This included a video of a woman...

Yet, it has never been on a streaming service before. So, where can viewers find it and when is it expected to start airing? Keep reading for more details.
Jeopardy! Lands ‘Pop Culture’ Streaming Spinoff
Not everyone is good at the categories offered on Jeopardy! because they can be tough. Some viewers excel at books, history, and classical music but science and old-world monuments are not their forte. Then, there are fans who just enjoy the pop culture categories which is fine. Viewers are immersed and surrounded by pop culture on a daily basis so it would make sense that they may excel at these categories. Fortunately for them, there will be a new variation of the hit game show solely focused on this genre.

“All That” cast member Lori Beth Denberg has accused Dan Schneider of showing her porn, initiating phone sex and more when she was just a teenager. Denberg starred on “All That” for four seasons between 1994 and 1998. Schneider was a head writer on the series. Denberg gave an interview to Business Insider in which she detailed the alleged situations Schneider put her in.
According to Denberg, it was around her 19th birthday in 1995 when Schneider asked for a meeting with her and allegedly showed her clips of pornography on his computer. She said the “grand finale” of the clips was one that depicted a woman performing oral sex on a donkey.
“I feel like that is the first time he preyed on me,” Denberg told Business Insider.

After conquering broadcast syndication and establishing a solid foothold in network primetime TV, Jeopardy! is moving into the streaming realm.
Amazon’s Prime Video has ordered a version of the beloved game show called Pop Culture Jeopardy!, which will be the first iteration of the franchise to debut on a streaming service. Sony Pictures Television, which is behind all versions of Jeopardy!, is producing.
Pop Culture Jeopardy! will differ somewhat from the classic game in that three-person teams will compete against one another rather than individual players. The show will keep the classic answer-and-question format, however, and its categories will cover music, movies, sports and all elements of popular culture.
