The former champion who <u>holds the record for most consecutive games won<\/u> has turned his time on the show into a career of game shows and all things trivia. There\u2019s one amazing aspect of the show, though, that he probably wasn\u2019t aware of before taking over <u>semi-permanent hosting duties<\/u> \u2013 shared with Mayim Bialik \u2013\u00a0following Alex Trebek\u2019s death: the fan mail. Jennings shared an adorable letter that he received from a young fan, and my faith in the world has been restored.<\/p>\n<p>When Ken Jennings thinks about his favorite part of being a host on <em>Jeopardy!<\/em>, he doesn\u2019t think about being forever associated with the iconic TV show. He doesn\u2019t cite the opportunity to consistently quench his insatiable thirst for knowledge. He\u2019s definitely <u>not interested in all of the fabulous merchandise<\/u>. For Jennings, the best part is the letters he gets from the kids. Check out the fantastic drawing he received, which he shared on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KenJennings\/status\/1512140993876807705\" data-url=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KenJennings\/status\/1512140993876807705\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>Twitter<\/u><\/a>:<\/p>\n<div class=\"see-more see-more--clipped\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet hawk-ignore\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The best part of hosting Jeopardy!\u2014and it\u2019s not even particularly close\u2014is the mail from kids. pic.twitter.com\/0NPudrrSjY<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KenJennings\/status\/1512140993876807705\" data-url=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KenJennings\/status\/1512140993876807705\" rel=\"noopener\">April 7, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span class=\"see-more__button\">See more<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"hawk-nest\" data-render-type=\"fte\" data-skip=\"dealsy\" data-widget-type=\"seasonal\"><\/aside>\n<p>First of all, kudos to the parents who are getting this youngster into <em>Jeopardy!<\/em> at such a young age. Ken Jennings is absolutely right. If I received mail like this every day, that would definitely be the best part of my job. This young game show enthusiast knew what they were doing, and we appreciate the word play on their \u201cJeopardy bored.\u201d Let\u2019s take a closer look at this, because a lot of work went into drawing out this game.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll take \u201cmitholigy\u201d for $751, Ken. You know, this kid has a pretty good idea \u2014 the game would be a lot more challenging if the dollar amounts were totally random across the board. There are some good round dollar amounts available in \u201c20th cenchery pop,\u201d but all bets are off in the category of \u201cgrates Jeopardy players.\u201d I have no doubt this young fan can name some of the greatest <em>Jeopardy!<\/em> players, too. They seem to have a good grasp on the types of categories the quiz show offers, too, with the others being \u201chall of fame\u201d and \u201cPuppy Bowl,\u201d because if this picture wasn\u2019t already awesome enough, now the Puppy Bowl is involved.<\/p>\n<p>The note at the bottom of the front page instructs Ken Jennings to turn the paper over to find the answer, and the host provided a second photo with the response (<em>of course<\/em> it\u2019s in the form of a question; this kid is no novice), and it\u2019s absolutely perfect:<\/p>\n<figure>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Who is Snoop dog<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Which question is the D-O-double G the answer to? <em>Every<\/em> question. I have no doubt the <em>American Song Contest<\/em> co-host would agree with this astute fan\u2019s assessment. Thank you, Ken Jennings, for sharing this gem with the masses.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>How much longer the former <em>Jeopardy!<\/em> champ will be the recipient of such excellent fan mail is unknown. He and Mayim Bialik agreed to <u>share hosting duties through the end of the current season<\/u>, but no plans have yet been announced for Season 39 and beyond. Stay tuned for updates, and be sure to check out our <u>2022 TV schedule<\/u> to see what shows are premiering soon!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Being the host of Jeopardy! already seems like it would be a dream come true for Ken Jennings.
