Co-host Ken Jennings retweeted the announcement, writing, "This is very exciting."
He added, "Nobody would be more pleased about this than Alex himself. He was a natural showman (as anyone who ever saw a Jeopardy! taping can attest) and was never quite as happy doing the audience-less shows of the pandemic era. We're back, Alex!"
