Ken Jennings Is Technically Banned From Playing Jeopardy Now, But Here’s Why The EP Says That Could Change

0

As Jeopardy!’s official Greatest Of All Time, Ken Jennings has nothing left to prove as far as playing the game goes. That’s a good thing, too, because after the super champion began hosting the show following Alex Trebek’s death in 2020, he technically became disqualified from competing in any future tournaments. If the competition bug were to bite Jennings again, however, executive producer Michael Davies indicated there might still be hope, even if it would require the rules being bent.

On the Inside Jeopardy! (opens in new tab) podcast, producer Sarah Foss, whom fans know as part of the Clue Crew, discussed the show’s already established rule that prevents anyone who has hosted Jeopardy! from participating in future games. She said those who were brought in as guest hosts have “seen behind the curtain,” so to speak, making it unfair for them to rejoin the fun as a competitor. Michael Davies, however, wasn’t ready to commit to such a rule concerning the chance that the GOAT himself would ever want to return. Davies said:

But I’m telling you, it’s like if Ken is the Greatest Of All Time — kind of like Arnold Palmer who tees off at The Masters — if Ken came to me desperately and said, ‘This is it. I still want to play Jeopardy!’ I cannot believe that I would completely close the door on Ken playing any form of Jeopardy! at any point in the future.
