Who is Jeopardy! host Ken Jennings’ wife, Mindy Jennings? The US game show winner-turned-host met his partner at university in Utah but was too shy to ask her out at first – now they share 2 children

Ryan Seacrest’s success as Wheel of Fortune host has prompted reports that Jeopardy! host Ken Jennings might be a risk of losing his job – whatever happens, his wife has been there for the entire ride

Jeopardy! host Ken Jennings is reportedly at risk of being replaced in a bid to boost ratings, according to a new report by The Mirror US.

Producers have reportedly been contemplating whether to find someone new for the show, after witnessing Wheel of Fortune’s ratings rise thanks to American Idol host Ryan Seacrest’s replacing veteran Pat Sajak in September last year.
Despite Ken Jennings’ solid – and long-time – fan base, producers are considering their options, according to the outlet. The news comes after the series tapped Saturday Night Live star Colin Jost to host the spin-off game show series Pop Culture Jeopardy!

According to Britannica, Jennings, 50, won 74 consecutive Jeopardy! matches before joining as the show’s host in 2021.
