Taking to Twitter, 48-year-old Ken shared an article from Parade Magazine which announced he will be a contestant on season six of Pyramid.

The popular Jeopardy! cohost, who has also competed on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire and Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader?, shared a few words with his fans about the upcoming appearance.

“I’m aware that I have a very weird and specific bucket list, but this was a biggie,” he revealed.

“I get to play on the next season of Pyramid!”

The announcement from Ken sparked panic among his fans, who have loved watching the former champ host Jeopardy!.

“Does that mean you’re not the new host of Jeopardy? If you’re not I will stop watching it,” wrote one.

Another told Ken: “Good stuff. But way, way, way rather have you back full time hosting Jeopardy.”

“Please come back to hosting Jeopardy!” begged a third.

Mayim Bialik is currently at the helm on the Alex Trebek stage as she shares hosting duties for season 38 with Ken.

JEOPARDY! BREAK

In May, he tweeted to announce that is taking a temporary break, but he will be back before the end of the season.

“I’m handing the keys back to the talented actor-producer-writer-director (!) Mayim Bialik for a few months,” he wrote at the time.

“We are lucky to have her! Thanks for watching, and I’ll be back before the end of the season.”

Although fans are divided over who is the best host, the last few months of Jeopardy! have been packed with high stakes drama from champions such as Mattea Roach, Ryan Long, and mostly recently, Megan Wachspress.

Dedicated viewers are now looking for clues to see which of the two presenters will be announced as the new permanent host, taking over from the legendary Alex.

When asked about the host for the new spinoff Celebrity Jeopardy! Craig Erwich, the president of Hulu Originals and ABC Entertainment, told The Wrap that a host for the show has yet to be decided.

“We just are not ready yet, but we will be soon. I wouldn’t read anything into it,” he told the show’s fanbase.
