Ken Jennings
The most famous Jeopardy! contestant ever was the first person tapped to guest host following Alex's death. In his first episode as host, Ken paid tribute to Alex on stage. "You know, sharing the stage with Alex Trebek was one of the greatest honors of my life. Not many things in life are perfect, but Alex did this job pretty much perfectly for more than 36 years and it was even better up close," he said. This season, Ken is also serving as a consulting producer, according to CBS News.
