Cryptic Tweet Suggests Buzzy Cohen’s Return As Jeopardy! Host
Some observant fans think that a tweet by former guest host Buzzy Cohen might be a hint of his return as the game show’s permanent host. Earlier this month, a Twitter account by the name @BuzzerBlog talked about the show’s current guest host Mayim Bialik.
The blogger stated that he is prepared to be wrong, but he isn’t ready to believe that Mayim hosting the primetime Jeopardy! is still a thing. He also added if the host was dubbed to be permanent, there would have been several press releases talking about her by now.
To this, the former guest host replied, and this is what led to the speculations. Cohen responded to the original tweet with a Star Wars Yoda GIF, saying there is another. With this tweet, several fans now claim that Cohen is set to be the permanent host for the game show. Only time will tell who is the new and permanent face of Jeopardy!
