The official Jeopardy! Instagram page shared a behind-the-scenes video to their page on Saturday.
“Ken chose violence today,” the show captioned.
Ken, 49, picked someone from the audience to ask a question.
“What’s it like hosting a show that you know all the answers to?” viewer asked.
“It hasn’t happened yet,” Ken responded while laughing.
“I don’t know. Maybe they’ll let me do Wheel someday, but…”
The audience erupted into laughter and Ken chuckled as well.
He was referencing the show’s rival game show, Wheel of Fortune.
“No. I’m just kidding,” the Jeopardy! host said, before the clip ended.
Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! air one after the other on the same network on week nights.
Jeopardy! host Ken Jennings gets bombarded by the question on every fans’ mind in abrupt on-stage altercation
Ryan Seacrest is set to take over Wheel host Pat Sajak after he retires this summer.
BEST HOST!
Jeopardy! fans were cracking up in the comments and said they were proud of Ken’s “burn.”
“Savage!” one person wrote, as another added, “Solid burn!” along with fire emojis.
“Ken is so smart and has the best humor,” a viewer reacted.
“I’ve said it once I’ll say it again! Ken was an excellent choice as host!!” a viewer said.
BYE-ALIK
Praise for Ken comes just weeks after his co-host, Mayim Bialik, was fired by the long-running program.
The actress announced the news via Instagram in December.
At the time, Mayim, 48, made a post with a blue background and white letters, which read, “Jeopardy! announcement.”
“As the Holiday break begins in Hollywood, I have some Jeopardy! news.”
“Sony has informed me that I will no longer be hosting the syndicated version of Jeopardy!,” she continued.
“I am incredibly honored to have been nominated for a primetime Emmy for hosting this year and am deeply grateful for the opportunity to have been part of the Jeopardy! family.”
“For all of you who have supported me through this journey and to the fans, contestants, writers, staff of America’s favorite quiz show, thank you,” Mayim ended.
