Merriam-Webster Dictionary shared a clip of Ken, 49, to their X, formerly Twitter, page.

“Thank you @KenJennings for helping us define ‘jeopardy,’ and we’d like to make this a true Daily Double. #wordicons,” they captioned the post.

He read off the dictionary’s definition of Jeopardy!.

“Noun. Expose to or imminence of loss or injury: danger,” Ken said.

“For example, ‘If you forget to frame your answers in the form of a question on our show, you might find your chances of winning are in jeopardy.”

Ken smiled before the video ended.

However, fans focused more on one aspect – which was behind the host.

WALL TO WALL

Behind Ken was a wallpapered wall, which was gray and yellow and had flowers on it.

The vines from the flowers were curved and bent in many different directions- making for quite an unexpected touch.

One fan commented on the video, “I like that wallpaper!”

“That’s interesting wallpaper,” said another.

“Oh. That wallpaper is not it,” added a third.

KEN’S DEN

Along with the unique wallpaper, Ken’s $2.9 million mansion features a massive master bathroom and a beautiful mountain view.

The Sun can exclusively reveal he has called his four-bedroom Seattle mansion his home for ten years after he won over $4 million from his winning streak on Jeopardy!.

The champion lives in the 4,500 square foot home with his wife, Mindy, and his two children, which was built in 2008.

The luxury home, worth over $2,900,000, has views that span over the Washington mountains and a massive lake.

Ken’s home includes a large patio deck with a relaxing spa space.

The master bedroom has a big, full-sized bathtub.

He also has two full-size kitchens to cook in and a media room.

KEN’T BELIEVE IT!

Ken now earns even more money from the game show, as he is the sole host.

He used to co-host with Mayim Bialik, but she was fired in December.

A few months after Mayim, 48, announced her departure, Ken opened up at length about his co-host leaving.

“I’m not blowing smoke here. I really enjoyed Mayim’s hosting.

“You could tell she was just a born performer, very confident on stage in a way that I was not at first.

“I learned a lot from watching her, and I really enjoyed her hosting. But I do understand – there’s a reason why TV shows don’t tend to have two hosts.”

As for Mayim’s exit, contrary to previous reports, TMZ claimed when she stood in solidarity with the WGA, it demonstrated to Sony executives that “they didn’t need two hosts.”

The actress had been off-screen since May, making a bold exit from Jeopardy! when the WGA went on strike, citing solidarity with her union.
