Ken Jennings is officially confirmed to be the sole host of Jeopardy! season 40. Much like the rest of Hollywood, the series has been in an uncertain position following the exit of co-host Mayim Balik and the writing staff due to the ongoing Writers Guild of America Strike. Jeopardy! season 40 will bring back contestants from season 37 and use recycled questions from previous episodes to make up for the absence of writers and researchers. The amount of money winners receive has also been increased. However, the biggest question surrounding Jeopardy! season 40 has revolved around whether Jennings would host alone, or with Bialik.
