Ken Jennings Returns to Host Jeopardy!
on Special Anniversary, Talks 'Daunting' Gig.
Former Jeopardy!
champion Ken Jennings returned Monday to host the iconic show once again, and this time it came on a particularly somber day: the one-year anniversary of former host Alex Trebek's death.
Jennings, 47, the highest-earning contestant in the history of American game shows, admitted that he had gone through a mix of feelings ahead of the job.
He previously stated that he has had "every possible emotion now" related to Jeopardy!.
Reportedly, the producers of the show did not tell Jennings that his first episode back, which was recorded this past September, would air on the one-year anniversary of Trebek's death.
Jennings, however, was seemingly appreciative of the effort to not bog him down with this information.

"Apparently, everyone was aware that we were going to air [his first episode] on the anniversary and nobody told me," Jennings said during a recent interview.
