The Jeopardy! star mentioned the Marvel superhero movie The Eternals and tweeted about he saw “a huge bin of overstock ‘Eternals’ Pez” in the store.
His Christmas regret, he said, was that “I didn’t buy them ALL for stocking stuffers.”
Ken also shared a gory snapshot of the Blu-Ray copy of The Banshees of Inisherin and three fake fingers chopped off.
The Banshees of Inisherin follows Colm (Brendan Gleeson) as he promises to cut off one finger with a pair of sheep shears every time his former friend Pádraic (Colin Farrell) attempts to talk to him.
Ken captioned the post: “Very proud of this gift to my wife, however.”
Ken and Mindy – a former preschool teacher – are the parents of two children: Dylan, who was born in 2002, and Caitlin, who was born in 2006.
The couple got married in 2000 after their graduation from college.
The couple met while they were attending college at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah.
‘HAPPIEST OF HOLIDAYS’
After the new season of Jeopardy! premiered on September 12th, Ken will serve as host until January.
Mayim has been hosting the spinoff Celebrity Jeopardy! but will take over for Ken in 2023.
Fans recently spotted a sweet photobooth-style slideshow of the two hosts posing together.
Set against a Christmas-light-twinkling backdrop, Mayim stuck out her tongue before she nearly kissed her co-star.
The caption stated: “Wishing you the happiest of holidays.”
Over the summer, Ken and Mayim were officially announced as the permanent replacements for the late Alex Trebek, who had hosted the quiz show since 1984.
‘FOR MAGIC’
Recently, actress Nicole Kidman, 55, thanked the program for naming three categories in her honor.
The final three categories were We Come to This Place For…, Magic, and Nicole Kidman Says.
Altogether, the lines read: “We come to this place for magic,’ Nicole Kidman says,” a tribute to her AMC movie theater commercial.
During the AMC ad, the To Die For actress said: “We come to this place for magic.
“We come to AMC to laugh, to cry, to care because we need that – all of us.”
She took to her social media and posted about the trivia show’s shout-out.
The Eyes Wide Shut star posted: “Thank you, Jeopardy!”
Nicole added a winking emoji and closed with: “Great Christmas present. Got most of them right…”
