Ken, now co-hosting Jeopardy! with Big Bang Theory star Mayim Bialik, 46, lives in the 4,500 square foot home with his wife, Mindy, and his two children.
The luxury home, worth over $2,900,000, has views that span over the Washington mountains and massive lake.
Ken’s home includes a large patio deck with a relaxing spa space.
The master bedroom includes a big, full-sized bathtub.
As well as a media room, Ken’s home – built in 2008 – boasts two full kitchens!
WHAT IS FULL TIME HOST?
After Ken won over $4M during his time as a contestant on Jeopardy!, he returned to the fan favorite trivia show to host as an interim after the unfortunate passing of Alex Trebek.
Alex died in November 2020 after a long battle with stage four pancreatic cancer.
However, Ken’s path to hosting Jeopardy! full time has been complicated as Mayim is also up for the job.
As Ken and Mayim alternate picking up the Jeopardy! torch, fans are calling for Mayim to be fired.
Outraged followers of the show chimed in and called her a “terrible” host.
One wrote: “Why is Mayim Bialik hosting Jeopardy again?
“She is not funny, she has more money than most TV personalities, she endorses a terrible product and should concentrate on other things rather than hosting Jeopardy, which she is terrible at. Please bring back Ken Jennings!”
A second agreed: “Please, Jeopardy, I beg of you: Name Ken Jennings as host immediately and stop this Mayim Bialik farce.”
A third shared: “Mayim Bialik has been hosting Jeopardy on and off for about a year at this point and still sucks at hosting. Remarkable stuff.”
The Sun exclusively took an inside look at Mayim’s $2.3M LA home.
MAYIM CLAPS BACK
The Big Bang Theory alum defended herself from social media critics, who bashed her skills on the show.
It all started when fans went into a frenzy after Mayim referred to the opening Jeopardy! round as “Single Jeopardy!.”
The TV star responded to the backlash by apologizing for the unpopular name, promising to never utter the words again.
She said: “I know it may not be the norm, but… it was not not out of the norm. I will never do it again! Even if it’s in this script, I will not say it.”
She then fired back, explaining that the show has a crew of team members perfecting the script – which she rarely strays away from.
“If it wasn’t right, they would’ve had me redo it. I barely act alone… there are so many things that we re-tape,” she insisted.
“If it was literally not kosher, there are a million producers, writers, and researchers and they’re all listening to me.”
She continued: “I say things all the time where they’ll be like, ‘What? Do it again.’
“So it’s not like Mayim’s going rogue! Everything is very carefully monitored. There’s a thing in my ear, I promise.”
Executives at Jeopardy! are still searching for a new permanent host, although Mayim is currently the frontrunner to take on the role.
KEN’S CLUE?
Amid the squabble, fans thought they spotted a major clue that Ken will be sweeping in to snag the host position from Mayim.
Ken recently announced he will not appear on the new season of The Chase in May.
The Chase’s official account tweeted: “New season. New Chasers.
“Victoria Groce, Brandon Blackwell, and Buzzy Cohen join Brad Rutter and James Holzhauer on May 3 when #TheChase returns.”
Ken – who joined the show in January 2021 – was notably missing from the line-up.
His costar James pointed out his absence, posting jokingly: “By popular demand, The Chase is now 100% @KenJennings-free.”
Ken tweeted back in a similarly playful tone: “I’m already missing all the lovely folks at @TheChaseABC, and the great trivia minds, and James.”
The TV personality’s post seemed to many like a hint that he won’t be returning to The Chase any time soon.
Fans flooded the comments to ask whether this means he will now become a full-time host on Jeopardy!
“Please tell me this is because you are taking the full-time Jeopardy hosting job,” one begged.
“I hope this means you’ll be the permanent host of Jeopardy! You are fantastic there but I’ll miss you on The Chase,” another wrote.
“Permanent J hosting announcement incoming?” a third viewer asked.
