'Jeopardy! & Wheel of Fortune's Host Showdown Is More Complicated Than You Realize

Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune, two of the most famous TV game shows of all time, have entered a new era in 2024, with brand-new hosts taking over. Historically, both shows have been an important part of American pop culture. But the role of the host can really make or break shows like these. Starting from 1984, Jeopardy! was hosted by Alex Trebek for 37 seasons, whose name became synonymous with the general knowledge quiz show. Similarly, Pat Sajak was the force behind Wheel of Fortune for 41 years. However, the latest seasons of both shows in 2024 have seen Ken Jennings replacing the late Trebek and Ryan Seacrest succeeding Sajak.
