The first hilarious impression came when he read out “I’ll get you my pretty, and your little dog to,” which is a quote from the Wizard Of Oz, with Ken putting on the voice of the Wicked Witch of the West.

Other impressions that left fans laughing away were when he did Daffy Duck’s voice and Michael Caine.

But there were three stand-out impressions that Ken’s fans just couldn’t get enough of.

The impressions that Ken impressed viewers with the most were Harley Quinn from the Suicide Squad and Borat from the hit comedy flick.

FANS PRAISE KEN

Fans were in hysterics in the comment section, with one person writing, “Okay Ken [laughing emoji]. Keep up the good work!”

Another then asked, “How can you not love Ken?!?”

A third then said: “Now he just has to do Gilbert Gottfried and Michael Winslow from Police Academy.”

“I didn’t know I needed to hear Ken’s Marvin the Martian impression,” a fifth chimed in with.

And then a sixth person sweetly praised Ken when they wrote: “Remember how nervous he was in his first few episodes hosting? And now look how comfortable he is! I’m really happy for him and his journey here.”

QUIZZING CHAMPION

Ken is a much-loved Jeopardy! host, but before he took on the role of hosting, he was actually a player.

Ken previously won 74 consecutive Jeopardy! games, with him also previously holding the record for the longest winning streak in Jeopardy! history.

He even amassed over $4 million as a contestant on the game show.

CAREER U-TURN

Ken ended up taking over on the show after former Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek died.

Alex sadly died in November 2020 after struggling with pancreatic cancer.

After a series of guest hosts, officials announced that producer Mike Richards and actress Mayim Bialik would be taking over as co-hosts.

Jeopardy! Host Timeline

Jeopardy! has had a tumultuous history regarding hosts after the death of the iconic Alex Trebek in 2020. Here are all of the hosts since the game show's inception in 1964.

Art Fleming – 1964 to 1975, he was the original host of the daytime version of Jeopardy! on NBC.

Alex Trebek – 1984 to 2020, the late, great Alex hosted Jeopardy!’s modern iteration for 36 years until his death from pancreatic cancer.

Guest hosts – 2020 to 2021, Jeopardy! tested out a series of guest hosts for week or two-week stints, including Anderson Cooper, LaVar Burton, and Aaron Rodgers.

Mike Richards – 2021, he was named host for one week before resigning amid controversy. He was the show’s executive producer at the time.

Mayim Bialik – 2021 to 2023, when Mike was announced as the show’s new host, Mayim was chosen to host tournaments and primetime specials.

Mayim and Ken Jennings – 2022 to 2023, 74-time champion Ken (the longest-winning contestant ever) joined Mayim as a guest host and they split hosting duties.

Ken Jennings – 2023 to present. Last December, Mayim announced on Instagram that she would “no longer” host Jeopardy! after a lengthy hiatus, having stood with the writer’s strike, and Ken was named sole host.

Ken now helms all editions of Jeopardy! including Celebrity Jeopardy!, the nightly show, and other primetime specials like Masters.

But after a short tenure, in August 2021, Mike shocked fans when he resigned.

Ken was then announced as Mike’s replacement after he had previously hosted the show as a guest.

Since then, Ken and Mayim split hosting duties with them hosting together up until season 39.

After the show’s summer 2023 hiatus, it was revealed that Jennings would take over as the permanent host for season 40.
