As for 90-year-old show announcer Johnny Gilbert, he plans to stay on board with the next host and stick with the game as long as he can.
Gilbert will presumably return alongside interim host Ken Jennings, who will be the first of a few guest hosts of the program until a full-time host is found.
It’s been said about a hundred times before and it’ll be said a hundred times more, but whoever is the next full-time host of the program will have some big shoes to fill to match his greatness.
Jeopardy! fans have certainly witnessed the quick wit of Alex Trebek during a round of the show, so it must’ve been a real treat to see him with an extended amount of time to crack some jokes.
