Jeopardy!’s acknowledgment of Brayden Smith comes at a time in which the show is still using guest hosts and has not yet announced a permanent replacement for Alex Trebek.
Audiences have continued to share their opinions about who’s right for the role, and some celebrities have actually vied for the honor.
As mentioned, Buzzy Cohen currently has the honors, and as a former champion of Jeopardy!, he would also be a solid long-term option for the game show.
