Ken Jennings is reportedly ‘petrified’ over Colin Jost taking over as host for Jeopardy! Pop Culture

Long-time host Ken Jennings reportedly “feels slighted” now that comedian Colin Jost has been slated to be host the new Pop Culture Jeopardy! spin-off.

Many fans thought that Ken who is currently leading Celebrity Jeopardy! would be taking on the role, but it has since been announced that Saturday Night Live co-anchor Colin will be taking on the challenge. Pop Culture Jeopardy! is a new spin-off series that follows the same high-stakes quiz show style as traditional Jeopardy.

However in Pop Culture Jeopardy, the gameshow will be split into teams rather than individual players facing head-to-head. During the series, which will be streamed on Amazon Prime Video, contestants will be quizzed on a range of pop culture knowledge including everything from music to movies to TV shows.
