The show “Jeopardy!” continues even after the long-time host Alex Trebek passed away in November.
As a result, the program has yet to name a permanent host and is seeing a rotation of guest hosts. Next on the list of guest who will host the show is CNN’s Anderson Cooper and NBC News’ Savannah Guthrie.
Each guest host appearing this season will have a donation made to the charity of their choice. Furthermore, the amount will be equivalent to the cumulative winnings of all of the contestants who compete on the show when they serve as a host, a press release stated.
“We look forward to each guest host bringing their unique abilities to the show and to our contestants winning a lot of money that we can match for charity,” the show’s executive producer Mike Richards said. Along with Cooper and Guthrie will have other guest hosts such as Mehmet Oz of “The Doctor Oz Show,” CNN chief medical correspondent Sanjay Gupta, journalist Katie Couric, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, “60 Minutes” correspondent Bill Whitaker, and neuroscientist Mayim Bialik.
