Rebecca Rubin Film and Media ReporterWho will be the next host of “Jeopardy”?For regular viewers of the long-running quiz show, buzzing in to guess Mayim Bialik or Ken Jennings — who have been alternating as emcee following Alex Trebek’s death — would seem like the correct response.But in reality, it’s still unclear who will lead “Jeopardy” beyond this year.After the turn to find Trebek’s successor became messy, Bialik and Jennings were hired as interim hosts throughout the remainder of Season 39, which is currently airing. After that, there’s no word yet on whether a new hosting contender might be considered, or if a choice will be made between Jennings and Bialik.

Daniel D'Addario Chief TV CriticAmerica is no longer leading on the world stage in one crucial metric.We’ve lost game-show-host supremacy.On “Jeopardy!,” the standard-bearer for American quiz shows, star power has been outsourced to the contestants.
