Pop culture in danger! marks a first in Jeopardy! history: Made exclusively for a top 5 streaming service and will debut on Amazon Prime Video.
Premiering Wednesday, December 4, Pop Culture Jeopardy! brings the game to Hollywood, hosted by none other than SNL’s Weekend Update anchor, Colin Jost.
Announced in May and filming since August, the series is finally ready for its star-studded debut.
This is just one of the big changes coming to the Jeopardy! world this year.
At the beginning of last month, news broke that the iconic set is getting a high-tech makeover.
Say goodbye to individual participant monitors and hello to a sleek electronic screen – à la the improved Wheel of Fortune puzzle board.
The streaming announcement comes amid buzz that Jeopardy! host Ken Jennings may be on the chopping block for an unexpected reason, according to sources cited The mirror.
According to insider talk, Jeopardy! producers are reportedly weighing their options, unsure whether to stick with Jennings.
One factor? Reviews. Since Ryan Seacrest took over Wheel of Fortune from Pat Sajak last month, viewership has skyrocketed — a trend that Jeopardy! executives certainly notice this.
There is also speculation surrounding SNL’s Colin Jost, who could potentially appear as the main Jeopardy! host.
When asked during a recent taping when all 41 seasons of the Emmy-winning series would be released on a major platform, Jennings reportedly responded, “It’s indeed happening,” and confirmed that “early 2025” is the target.

A Sony insider even hinted to The Sun in August that it’s “not unreasonable” to think that Jost — husband of Scarlett Johansson and host of Pop Culture Jeopardy! – could land the flagship if its new series proves to be a hit.
Jennings, the show’s GOAT participant and solo host since early 2024, took over full-time after Mayim Bialik’s departure in December 2023.
But while change could be on the table, sources say Jennings doesn’t need to panic just yet.
As one insider explained, “The only real reason to replace Ken is if the ratings take a nosedive, and that hasn’t happened yet.”
