Jeopardy!<\/em> will begin filming again on Nov. 30 following the death of beloved host Alex Trebek<\/a>, with \u201ca series of interim guest hosts from within the Jeopardy!<\/em> family\u201d at the helm, the quiz show\u2019s production team announced Monday.<\/p>\n

The producers said they are not naming a permanent replacement for Trebek at this time. Instead, the 37th season of Jeopardy!<\/em> will resume with Ken Jennings, champion of the series\u2019 Greatest of All Time<\/em> tournament<\/a>, as its first guest host; additional ones will be announced in the future. In a subsequent tweet<\/a>, Jennings acknowledged Trebek\u2019s legacy, saying, \u201cThere will only ever be one Alex Trebek, but I\u2019m honored to be helping Jeopardy! <\/em>out with this in January.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trebek, who had hosted Jeopardy!<\/em> since 1984, died earlier this month at age 80 after receiving treatment for stage 4 pancreatic cancer<\/a>. He was diagnosed with cancer in March 2019, and continued filming Jeopardy! <\/em>throughout his treatment.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlex believed in the importance of Jeopardy!<\/em> and always said that he wanted the show to go on after him,\u201d Jeopardy! <\/em>executive producer Mike Richards said in a news release. \u201cWe will honor Alex\u2019s legacy by continuing to produce the game he loved with smart contestants and challenging clues. By bringing in familiar guest hosts for the foreseeable future, our goal is to create a sense of community and continuity for our viewers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trebek\u2019s final filmed episodes are currently airing, and the last one was set to debut on Christmas Day. However, the Jeopardy!<\/em> team has pushed them back due to anticipated holiday preemptions: Trebek\u2019s last week of episodes will now air during the week of Jan. 4, 2021. In the meantime, 10 of what the producers described as Trebek\u2019s \u201cbest episodes\u201d will be broadcast in his memory during the weeks of Dec. 21 and Dec. 28. The guest-hosted shows will begin airing on Jan. 11, leaving no gap between Trebek and Jennings.<\/p>\n
