Katie Couric is making history this week.

The veteran journalist will make her debut on Monday as the first female guest host of Jeopardy!. Couric is the latest person to fill in at the podium following longtime host Alex Trebek's death in November.

On Sunday, the competition show released the first images of Couric as host, which showed her at the podium and reviewing files behind the scenes. She will appear in the nightly episodes from March 8 through 19.

"New episodes of Jeopardy! continue this week with guest host #KatieCouric!" the caption said.
