Ken Jennings, one of the show’s most well-known former contestants, will serve as a consulting producer.
Trebek hosted more than 8,200 episodes over the course of nearly 37 seasons before he died in November due to a battle with pancreatic cancer. The popular show cycled through a number of guests hosts in the nine months since before landing on Richards and Bialik.
