'Sad that Mark Labbett won't be returning'
While The Chase is losing one Jeopardy! host, it is gaining another with Cohen, who was among those who hosted briefly during the 2020-2021 season. Blackwell has competed on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, The Million Second Quiz, and the U.K.'s University Challenge. Groce is considered one of the best quizzers globally and finished third in the 2020 World Quizzing Championships.
'Victoria and Brandon are great picks'
Fans were not the only ones surprised by the news. "Gutted to not be invited back but really excited at the new lineup. Am expecting Brandon and Victoria to wow America," Labbett tweeted.
'So psyched to see Victoria Groce up in that Chaser seat'
Scroll on to see how fans reacted to the news and how they believe this will affect Jennings' future.
'Jeopardy!' fans hope this means Jennings will be the permanent host
"Ken, please let this mean that you're going to be the permanent host of regular season game play [Jeopardy!]. As much as I enjoy you on [The Chase], you have done an excellent job hosting Jeopardy!, and I would be thrilled to see you hosting it each weekday permanently," one fan tweeted to Jennings.
'I am going to miss The Beast so much!'
"My two favorite chasers are leaving! At least I can still see Ken on Jeopardy & the "Beast" on The Game Show Network reruns. I wish them both well," one viewer wrote.
