Jeopardy! is officially returning with all-new episodes in September. The 37th season will start airing on September 14 with Alex Trebek back behind the podium.
“I feel good, and I feel excited because once again JEOPARDY! has demonstrated that it’s at the forefront of television programming,” Trebek said in a statement. “I believe we are the first quiz show to come back on the air in the COVID-19 era. On a personal level, I’m excited because it gets me out of the house. It gives me something to do on a regular basis, and I was missing that.”
Jeopardy! also revealed that former champion Ken Jennings is returning in a producer role. According to Sony, The “Greatest of All Time” champion will “present his own special video categories, develop projects, assist with contestant outreach, and serve as a general ambassador for the show.
