We all know him as the king of trivia, but what Ken Jennings really wants… might surprise you.

During a recent Jeopardy! taping, an audience member posed a fun, unexpected question:
“If you could be on any other game show, what would it be?”

Without skipping a beat, Jennings lit up with an answer no one saw coming.

“My lifelong dream has not yet been fulfilled—to be on Family Feud. I just want to be on The Feud. That’s my only dream.”

Yep, you read that right. The calm, collected Jeopardy! legend—who once won 74 straight games—doesn’t dream of dominating more trivia battles. He dreams of shouting weird guesses next to Steve Harvey.

Ken’s Game Show Crossover Era?

This dream revelation came hot on the heels of the news that Jennings will be a contestant on the upcoming season of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire—his first return to the hot seat since becoming a host himself.

Sure, Millionaire fits the bill for a trivia legend. But Family Feud? That’s a whole different universe.
No Daily Doubles. No academic buzz. Just wild guesses, awkward answers, and Steve Harvey trying not to lose it.

The idea of Jennings navigating Feud’s unpredictable chaos—with Harvey reacting to his deadpan delivery—is the kind of crossover we didn’t know we needed.

After the moment went viral, fans immediately ran with the idea. On Instagram and Reddit, the fantasy matchups began:

“We need a Jeopardy! Family Feud team with Ken, Matt Amodio, Sam Buttrey, and other legends.”
“Let them go against the Wheel of Fortune team—Ryan Seacrest, Pat and Maggie Sajak, Vanna White, and Jim Thornton!”
“Are we not going to talk about how this would break the internet?”

Honestly, it’s a million-dollar idea.

A Feud for the Ages?

Jennings vs. Harvey. Jeopardy! vs. Wheel.
Buttoned-up trivia icons face off against flashy game show hosts in a battle of brain vs. chaos.

Will it happen? No word yet from ABC or Steve Harvey… but we’re manifesting it. And judging by fan demand, someone better start prepping that Celebrity Feud buzzer.

After all, if anyone deserves to live out a childhood dream—especially one involving fake survey questions and shouting “Pants!” for no reason—it’s Ken Jennings.
