Ken Jennings: Jeopardy! producers didn't tell me I'd return as guest-host on the 1st anniversary of Alex Trebek's death

USA Today

"Apparently, everyone was aware that we were going to air (my first episode) on the anniversary and nobody told me," Jennings tells USA Today of tonight's return as guest-host. "They didn't want to put that in my head. So I was not told until after that it was the Nov. 8 show." What was it like coming back? "You would like to say just like getting back on a bike," adds Jennings.
