Speaking during a remote interview, Mayim explained how she and Ken both are always honoring Alex, who hosted the show for 37 seasons.
“I think for both of us, we feel like we’re really ushering in what Alex facilitated so beautifully, which is, again, highlighting contestants and the show that people know and love,” she shared. “I think for me and Ken, we do love the purity and the fun Jeopardy! has been and will continue to be.”
Ken added that while Alex can’t be imitated, the charm of the show is still there.
“One of the nice things about having two hosts is the focus is a little less on who is the iconic host of Jeopardy! And it’s really more about Jeopardy! as a game,” he says. “Some nights it’s gonna be me. Some nights it’s gonna be Mayim. But it’s always Jeopardy!”
