There’s no doubt about it.

Ken Jennings, 49, has officially replaced Mayim Bialik, 47, on “Celebrity Jeopardy!” per a dramatic latest statement from the show’s network.

Jennings appears solo on an official promotional poster shared to the show’s Instagram page Tuesday.

The art contains a smiling Jennings as he walks amongst lighted signs that read, “Celebrity Jeopardy!”

“The celebs shine the brightest in PRIMETIME!” the caption reads. “Prepare for the return of #CelebrityJeopardy! on September 27 at 8/7c. Watch it on @abcnetwork and stream on Hulu!“


Bialik previously hosted the series, but took a step back to support striking Hollywood writers.

It was recently confirmed that Bialik wouldn’t be returning to host the speciality spinoff, as she did last yr — as a substitute, Jennings can be stepping in.

Bialik declined the role to support Hollywood writers of their ongoing strike, which began May 2, in accordance with Entertainment Weekly.

Bialik — a member of the striking actors’ union, SAG-AFTRA — exited “Jeopardy!” in its final week of filming Season 39 in solidarity with the writers, leaving Jennings to take over, The Post confirmed within the spring.

While each are still slated to co-host “Jeopardy!,” Bialik had been hosting the celebrity version by herself.

The primary season premiered last September on ABC, with famous contestants resembling “Crazy Wealthy Asians” actress Constance Wu, “Juno” star Michael Cera and Wil Wheaton, who appeared on the sitcom “The Big Bang Theory.”

The change to the A-list edition comes after “Jeopardy!” producers shared their plans for the unique series, which is able to proceed despite the strikes.

Showrunner Michael Davies revealed on an Aug. 7 episode of the “Inside Jeopardy!” podcast that they might be using recycled material and featuring former contestants on the upcoming Season 40.

Davies explained that it “wouldn’t be fair to have latest contestants making their first appearance” on the show with material that isn’t original or that was written pre-strike.

“The fabric that we’re gonna be using is a mixture of fabric that our [Writers Guild of America] writers wrote before the strike, which continues to be within the database and material that’s being redeployed from multiple, multiple seasons of the show,” Davies said in the course of the episode.

The showrunner added that he “admires” and “misses” the show’s “beloved” writers, who’re petitioning for higher wages, regulation surrounding artificial intelligence, and higher pay from streaming services.

The Post has reached out to reps for “Jeopardy!,” Jennings and Bialik for comment.
