At the beginning of this year, Ken Jennings became the first person to serve as guest host following Alex Trebek’s passing.
Many of the posts saw Jennings making inappropriate jokes about certain incidents and, in one of the most publicized messages, he made a disparaging remark regarding people in wheelchairs.
Though ahead of his hosting debut, the aforementioned tweets began to resurface.
He was ultimately well-received by viewers and, according to The Wall Street Journal (via Woman’s Day), the show’s producers had essentially agreed on hiring Jennings for the job, despite the fact that he was light on hosting experience.
