Ken Jennings has no intention of stepping away from his hosting duties on Jeopardy! despite rumors that he could be axed. Ken - who is speculated to possibly be replaced by SNL comedian Colin Jost - became the sole permanent host during the show's 40th season. However, after Jost was named the host for the spinoff Pop Culture Jeopardy! and following criticism from fans, rumors arose that Jennings could lose his role as host on the flagship series. A source recently told Closer Weekly that Ken is, “desperate to make it work and has no intention of leaving of his own accord,” in regards to his position on the show. “Ken's well aware of the noise and tittle-tattle, and privately he would acknowledge these are tough times - especially with Colin Jost coming on to host Pop Culture Jeopardy! and fans calling him awkward, which is hard to take.”
