JEOPARDY! is set to feature a series of guest hosts this season including award-winning journalists and other notable figures, the show announced Wednesday.

Katie Couric, Aaron Rodgers, Bill Whitaker, and Mayim Bialik are all slated to take a turn at the iconic game show’s lectern.

“Alex was a legend, revered by all of us,” Mike Richards, JEOPARDY!’s executive producer, said. “I want to thank our guest hosts, who will not only help all of us celebrate his great legacy, but also bring their own touch to the show.”

As part of each guest host’s appearance, a donation totaling the cumulative winnings of the contestants that compete during each guest host’s respective week will be made to a charity of their choice.

1. I miss him.

2. Me, too.

Jennings is doing all right, but he just doesn’t have the charisma, IMO.

3. Yeah, agree

5. Me as well.

Ken is doing an okay job, but Alex was one of a kind. No one will be able to replace him. But I hope they can get someone who has more of his passion and calm nature.

I miss his voice. He had the most wonderful voice. 😥

4. I watch the show for the questions don't really care who asks them - but

I would like to pretend that the host is doing more than just reading and would have the knowledge to answer many of the questions.

Ken Jennings has the aura of being able to answer questions since he showed his ability. I would think Brad Rutter and James Holzhauer should also get a try.

Jeopardy has that "cut above" quality to it and I would hope the owners understand that.

OTOH it may be fun to see some different talent. Wolf Blitzer maybe?

6. I'm all for those other two champs

Holzhauer has an interesting vibe. He’d be interesting
