The streaks by Schneider and Amodio have helped ease Jeopardy! past the mishandled replacement of its admired host, the late Alex Trebek. Executive producer Mike Richards was picked by Sony Pictures Television to replace Trebek last year, but quickly exited the show after old podcasts surfaced that included his misogynistic and other demeaning comments.
A permanent host has yet to be named, with Mayim Bialik, who was named host of prime-time Jeopardy! specials, and Jennings trading off this season. Jennings is also a consulting producer for the show.
