It's been a tough year for the team behind the long running show after hiring and firing a host and executive producer.
After naming former "Big Bang Theory" co-star Mayim Bialik to host some Jeopardy specials, they've now asked her to host the show through November, at which time and and Jeopardy producer Ken Jennings to share the hosting chores. Meanwhile the search for a permanent host continues.
For the remainder of this embattled season, it will be only Mayim Bialik and record-setting “Jeopardy!” champ Ken Jennings sharing hosting duties, Sony Pictures Television confirmed to The New York Post. Beginning Monday, Bialik is helming several weeks of episodes, which will air through Nov. 5. Beyond that point, Jennings and Bialik will split hosting duties as their schedules allow, reps for the show told The Post. The news is a total 180 from what Richards, 46, announced in his Aug. 20 letter of resignation from the iconic role Trebek vacated when he died at age 80 in November after a battle with pancreatic cancer.
