Buzzy Cohen will return to the "Jeopardy!" stage to guest host the 2021 Tournament of Champions.

Set to air May 17 to May 28, the annual Tournament of Champions will see fifteen competitors face off for a $250,000 grand prize, which will be matched and donated to the Hope of the Valley Trebek Center for Homelessness.

Since hosting duties will require Cohen to work closely with the writers and producers of the long-running trivia game, he will no longer be eligible to compete in regular tournaments.

“Buzzy has been where each of these champions is, so it’ll be comforting for the contestants to see a familiar face behind the lectern,” said Mike Richards, Executive Producer of Jeopardy!. “We will miss seeing him compete, but we look forward to seeing how he uses his quick wit and personality as guest host.”
