Fans have weighed in and pinpointed “Jeopardy!” champion Buzzy Cohen as their pick for Alex Trebek's permanent replacement.
A renewed interest in Buzzy came after the quiz show shared a photo on Instagram.
The image was a throwback to when the 2017 winner guest hosted the Tournament of Champions, a special two-week event featuring the best and brightest champions, in mid-May.
Fans championed Buzzy in the comment section.
“Buzzy Cohen is nothing short of fabulous at hosting Jeopardy! — especially during the Tournament of Champions! Now, let’s make him permanent host [of] the show!” one user wrote.
“Make Buzzy the host permanently,” chimed in another one.
“TEAM BUZZY,” a third user weighed in.
“Come on Jeopardy, @jeopardy @sonypictures, how can you not see that @buzzycohenofficial is the best choice to host!?! Make it happen!!” another fan simply stated.
