Ken Jennings has made it clear that he has no intention of stepping down from his role as host of Jeopardy!, despite rumors suggesting he might be replaced by Colin Jost, who is hosting the new spinoff Pop Culture Jeopardy!. Sources close to Jennings indicate that he is determined to make his hosting work and is frustrated by the criticism he has faced, particularly regarding the show's increasing difficulty and recent controversies over mispronounced answers. Jennings believes that the blame for the show's challenges should not fall solely on him, as he does not control the questions or contestant selection. Additionally, while there are concerns about the network's confidence in him, insiders suggest that Sony has no immediate plans to fire him. Jennings is reportedly calling for more support from the show's producers and is unwilling to be made a scapegoat for the show's issues. Fans remain divided on his performance as they reminisce about the legacy of former host Alex Trebek.
