Former winner Buzzy Cohen, who scored more than $160,000 in a nine-game winning streak in 2016 and then went on to win the 2017 Tournament of Champions, will host the podcast series.
He will guide listeners through the six-decade history of the game show featuring contestants and producers. It will include hours of archival tapes as well as Cohen’s own perspective having won on the show.
“For 60 years and counting, Jeopardy! has established itself as a household name. I am so excited for the opportunity to give listeners a never-before-seen look at the show,” said Cohen.
“I will examine the impact Jeopardy! has had in cultural conversations and bring on some legendary guests who helped shape Jeopardy! into the show we all know and love.”
