When "Jeopardy!" set out on its quest for a new host to replace the great Alex Trebek, everybody seemed to have an opinion about who should fill those shoes. Ken Jennings was considered a favorite among the revolving door of celebrities who auditioned for the job, drawing the support of former contestants, fans, and even Trebek himself, as many argued that Jennings' legacy with the game show made him a shoo-in. However, now that he has been named the permanent co-host — a position he swaps with Mayim Bialik — one former champion explained why they don’t actually get to talk to Jennings very much during filming.
Ray LaLonde started off the new year as "Jeopardy!’s" latest super-champ, winning $386,400 in thirteen victories to secure a spot in this year’s Tournament of Champions. Once his streak came to an end, he spoke to Toronto Life about the "Jeopardy!" GOAT, revealing the reason that he — and the other contestants as well — didn’t get much down time with Ken Jennings.
