“I was surprised,” Ken, 49, said. Hollywood life. “I love working with Mayim. This has always been a great relationship. But I guess I’m mostly a fan of Jeopardy! This was the show that meant the most to me as a child, then the idea of Danger! as an American institution (maybe it’s just in my head), but it really means a lot to me, personally. The fact that I can help with that now… I’m always happy to host when asked, and I’m happy that the show goes on.

And he added: “Danger! It should never be about behind-the-scenes stuff. “It should be about the game and I’m happy to be there.”

OH Celebrity Danger! The Season 2 Semifinals will help kick off 2024 starting January 2. First there will be 3 rounds of semi-finals Celebrity Danger! The final. For Ken, I could never have predicted this Anyone winner and witnessed several ups and downs during the rest of the season.

“I will say I was quite surprised by the winners at every stage of the show,” the host admitted. “We had some incredible comebacks. I can think of a semi-final and a final where it seems like all the players are going to win at some point, and then the momentum keeps changing. The problem with these three-round games is that we have Triple Jeopardy, we have six Daily Doubles total, which means no one ever escaped. There’s a full hour for the momentum to change. And this happens sometimes. “There are some notable changes in leadership.”

It doesn’t seem possible. I feel like maybe he’s messing with me at some point, because what are the chances? Danger! It was my favorite show. I continued on a whim. I was so happy to win a match, and then after that crazy summer where I was just there for months, and then to be able to go back to tournaments.

And he added: “When they called me afterwards Alex [Trebek] It happened, I couldn’t believe it. Those were big shoes to fill. I was afraid of being asked to host the show, but I just wanted to help because the show meant a lot to me and made me the person I am, even as a child. I feel like it was really educational for me. In whatever way I can give back, I’m happy to do so. But I’m just impressed. It seems so strange. I don’t know why you would hire a strange station as a host. Danger!and I’m very happy that they did.
