“Jeopardy!” producer Mike Richards and former “Big Bang Theory” star Mayim Bialik have been named the hosts of the long-running game show.
Richards will be the full-time host of the weekday syndicated version of the show, while Bialik will host special primetime editions.
“We are thrilled to begin the next chapter of America’s Favorite Quiz Show with Mike hosting our daily show and Mayim hosting new versions of ‘Jeopardy!’” Ravi Ahuja, the Chairman of Sony Pictures, said.
“We took this decision incredibly seriously. A tremendous amount of work and deliberation has gone into it, perhaps more than has ever gone into the selection of hosts for a show – deservedly so because it’s ‘Jeopardy!’ and we are following the incomparable Alex Trebek,” Ahuja added.
