Although “Jeopardy!”
Ken Jennings sealed his own fate
Although he’s a repeat “Jeopardy!”
champion, Jennings scored low on the audience’s charisma meter overall.

Focus groups reacted negatively to him taking over the podium previously occupied by Trebek for more than three decades.
Although he had two weeks to prove himself, Jennings couldn’t get past his own missteps.
He promised to continue to be a part of “Jeopardy!”

regardless, provided he was still welcome.
Richards suffered his own downfall soon after.
