The latest guest host on Jeopardy! is CNN’s chief medical correspondent, Dr. Sanjay Gupta. Like many of the previous guest hosts, Dr. Gupta has a ton of fans who are rallying for him to become the next permanent host of the game show. Before the first episode, Dr. Gupta shared how he has been a longtime fan of the show himself.
He shared, “As a kid watching ‘Jeopardy!’ with my parents … English is not their first language and still they could do well when they played. It was inspiring for me to see them come out like that over a quiz show game here in the United States. It wasn’t something they ever dreamed of watching and answering and trying to compete against one another. But we all did. And even on a tough day, [we would] sit around, watch ‘Jeopardy!,’ get a few questions right, that felt good.”
Many fans loved Dr. Sanjay Gupta as the guest host of ‘Jeopardy!’
