Watch out, Ryan Seacrest, because Ken Jennings might be coming for your job.
Well, not really, but the Jeopardy! host hinted that he would love to fill Pat Sajak’s shoes.
Ryan Seacrest is gearing up to take over as the host of Wheel of Fortune upon the completion of Season 41, which will be Pat Sajak’s last.
But he might want to be careful because Ken has his sights on the same hosting gig.
Ken recently fielded questions from the studio audience before taping an episode of Jeopardy! and one of his answers caused quite the stir.
On Instagram, Jeopardy! shared a clip of Ken responding to a fan asking, “What’s it like hosting a show that you know all the answers to?”

Ken chuckled, adding, “It hasn’t happened yet.”
“I don’t know, like, maybe they...

Pat Sajak was just as shocked as a Wheel of Fortune contestant after pulling off a Bonus Round solve in the nick of time.
Contestants are under immense pressure to solve puzzles during their Bonus Rounds, often having little to work with to solve their puzzles — all while a studio audience looks on, as well as viewers at home, and they only have 10 seconds to do it.
Such was the case for a recent Wheel of Fortune player named Max, who opted for the “Phrase” category during his Bonus Round.
After Vanna White unveiled all of the consonants and vowels on the board, Max was left with a puzzle that read “_ E / _ R E / _ O _ _ N _ / _ O R _ _ R D.”
Host Pat Sajak wished Max good luck before he took a stab at the puzzle and a chance to win some big cash or prizes.
Once Max’s 10-second timer began to count down,...

A recent Wheel of Fortune Bonus Round puzzle had Pat Sajak questioning his co-host, Vanna White.
Vanna has served as the long-standing tile-turner on Wheel of Fortune since 1982, revealing puzzle letters to contestants and viewers.
A lot has changed since Vanna began her job on stage, however, with the implementation of technology.
When Vanna first began her job, she had to turn each letter tile to reveal contestants’ guesses physically.
But now, the board is digital, so all Vanna needs to do is tap each letter, much like using a touchscreen device, rather than turn them.
Regardless of the technique, Wheel of Fortune viewers rely on Vanna to do her job during each and every episode.
A recent episode saw a player named Ryan enter into the Bonus Round, where his category of choice was “Phrase.”
Vanna revealed the routine consonants R, S, T, L, and N, along with the traditional vowel E,...

Another Bonus Round, another loss for a Wheel of Fortune contestant who couldn’t solve a challenging puzzle.
A contestant named Joey had the opportunity to win beaucoup bucks during his Bonus Round, but his puzzle was too much of a doozy.
During an episode that aired recently during Wheel of Fortune’s “Fabulous Food Week,” Joey came up short, costing him big.
Joey opted for the “What Are You Doing?” category, and after being provided with his five customary consonants, one vowel, and his own letter choices, he was left with a challenging puzzle to solve.
Iconic letter-turner Vanna White stood close to Joey’s puzzle board to unveil which of his letters appeared, as longtime host Pat Sajak noted, “Let’s see what we get here.”
After seeing what Joey was left with, Pat admitted that it “wasn’t much help” but urged Joey to do his best...

Wheel of Fortune contestants have had a rough go lately during their Bonus Rounds, but that changed this week.
A contestant named Cynthia earned herself a spot in the Bonus Round and opted to guess a puzzle in the “Phrase” category.
Between the customary letters provided to her and her own letter choices, Cynthia was left with a board that read, “_ O / Y O _ R S E L _ / _ / _ _ _ O R.”
After Vanna White revealed the letters she was left with, Cynthia gasped as soon as she realized she knew the answer.
Host Pat Sajak reminded Cynthia not to lose her composure before she had a chance to take a crack at the puzzle.
“Okay, hang on now… Everything’s going to be fine. Time hasn’t even started yet. Don’t hyperventilate,” Pat told Cynthia, garnering a smile.
Cynthia wasted no time, and the instant her 10-second timer began, she...
