Ken is a former Jeopardy! champion and holds the record for the longest winning streak in the trivia show history with 74 consecutive wins in 2004. Ken became the show’s host in 2022 after Alex lost a fight to pancreatic cancer in November 2020 and others like Mike Richards and Mayim co-hosted for the time being. In 2021, Ken would co-host with Mayim and would switch off.

The Jeopardy! franchise has grown to different spin off like Tournament of Champions and Jeopardy! Masters. It recently announced an Amazon series all about pop culture. The show is currently casting and a host has yet been announced.
