After longtime host Alex Trebek died last year, Jeopardy! has been going through different guest hosts. So far, Jeopardy! champion Ken Jennings, executive producer Mike Richards, and Katie Couric have hosted the game show. Dr. Oz is currently hosting.
Alex Trebek’s final episodes brought in the highest ratings. After his last episodes aired, the ratings have continued to decline. It seems they are at an all-time low after Katie finished her run as a guest host. Perhaps because many people are protesting Dr. Oz as the host, citing that he gives “dangerous and offensive medical advice.”
