A new Jeopardy! spinoff series, Celebrity Jeopardy!, is on the way, and an ABC executive has dropped a hint about whether Mayim Bialik or Ken Jennings will host.
The new position comes as the 46-year-old actress has been battling it out with 47-year-old Ken Jennings for the hosting job on the original series, which was left vacant after Alex Trebek’s death.

ABC announced the new game show during the reveal of its Fall 2022-2023 schedule on Tuesday, and Mayim is expected to host.
In the reveal, according to Variety, the network added: “A host will be announced at a later date.”
The President of ABC Entertainment and Hulu Originals, Craig Erwich, teased that he “wouldn’t read anything into” this note about the emcee not yet being shared.
Despite her name being left out of the announcement, Mayim will likely be tapped for the gig, as she was previously revealed to be working on spinoffs of the popular game show.
The ABC exec told the outlet: “It’s really just about the details of the announcement.
“And we just are not ready yet, but we will be soon.”
