Mayim Bialik and Ken Jennings are entering long-term deals to continue co-hosting Jeopardy! according to Variety , signaling a permanent solution to the void left by Alex Trebek s death in 2020.

Variety, citing an unnamed source familiar with the matter, reported that the game shows producer, Sony Pictures Entertainment, will have Bialik and Jennings share duties on the syndicated quiz juggernaut. On Wednesday afternoon, Jeopardy! executive producer Michael Davies confirmed the news in a press release.

Jennings is slated to kick off the game shows upcoming season in September, with Bialik taking over in January. And while Jennings is hosting his initial run, Bialik will host Celebrity Jeopardy! on ABC in prime time.

We know you value consistency, so we will not flip flop the hosts constantly and will keep you informed about the hosting schedule, the statement said.

Negotiations for Bialik hinged on her availability while she shoots another season of her Fox sitcom Call Me Kat, the statement noted.
