Jeopardy Is About To Make Some Key Changes
With the passing of longtime Jeopardy! fixture Alex Trebek in 2020, producers have understandably had to make some changes to the quiz show in the years since. The changes include installing one-time contestant Ken Jennings as the permanent host for the program's 40th season and introducing recent game additions like the new-to-Season-40 Champions Wildcard.
On the most recent episode of the after-show podcast Inside Jeopardy!, producer Sarah Whitcomb Foss said that fans can expect even more changes to the show beginning December 19, including a new logo and flashy new opening title sequence
