Ken Jennings has been a staple of “Jeopardy!” since he won 74 consecutive games back in 2004. Now he has been co-hosting the show alongside Mayim Bialik since Alex Trebek passed in November 2020. However, Jennings said he wouldn’t have picked himself for the job if he was in charge of casting for the series. He told Utah outlet Deseret News recently that while hosting the show is his dream job, he would have picked someone else for the position. “If I were hiring for that job, I would go with a sturdy broadcaster with decades of experience, not just somebody who happened to be good at the show many years ago,” Ken said. “But luckily they took a chance on me.” “I kind of have to pinch myself every day. I do not take it for granted,” he said. “I was 100% confident I would not get a shot at the job — because that would be insane.”
