What is a human pyramid?\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Jeopardy!” host Ken Jennings made a first for the quiz show on Monday when he fulfilled a contestant\u2019s offbeat request to form a human pyramid on the stage.<\/p>\n

The show shared the fun moment that ran over the credits after\u00a0Champions Wildcard contestant\u00a0Emily Seaman Hoy\u00a0explained earlier that she and her family like to take a photo of themselves forming a pyramid when they travel to places such as the pyramids of Giza or outside Mexico City and under the Northern Lights.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Our next big goal is to get a pyramid on the \u2018Jeopardy!\u2019 stage with the host of \u2018Jeopardy!\u2019” she told Jennings.<\/p>\n

“We have never done a human pyramid here, and I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever been in one, so we\u2019ll have to talk after the show,” he answered.<\/p>\n

Surprisingly, he made it happen \u2014 with the show capturing a photo of her family executing one and then Jennings stepping in.<\/p>\n

“Well Ken, there’s a first time for everything!” the show wrote on its social media, along with a video and photo of the moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hoy, who was previously on two episodes in 2021, placed second to contestant Dane Reighard.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In addition to hosting “Jeopardy!,” Jennings is hosting the\u00a0newest season of “Celebrity Jeopardy!” as Mayim Bialik stepped down due to the ongoing writers\u2019 strike. The strike officially ended Wednesday.<\/p>\n

After the news was announced in August, fans shared their mixed feelings about Bialik’s hosting abilities, with some even prefer Jennings.<\/p>\n

“Great to see Ken, love him hosting,” one fan wrote on the Instagram post featuring the new poster.<\/p>\n

“Now that Mayim isn’t hosting I can watch this,” one user wrote, referencing Bialik’s decision to step back.<\/p>\n

“Jeopardy!” has always\u00a0stood behind Bialik\u00a0as a hosting choice.<\/p>\n

Before Bialik and Jennings took over, the show was hosted by Alex Trebek, whose tenure at the game show spanned 37 seasons. After a long\u00a0battle with pancreatic cancer, the 80-year-old died in November 2020.<\/p>\n
