Jeopardy! UK – A Captivating Reboot Hosted by Stephen Fry

The popular game show Jeopardy! has made its way to the UK with a new British version called Jeopardy! UK, hosted by Stephen Fry. The family-friendly quiz show features contestants competing to win based on their general knowledge. Airing weekly on BBC First in Canada on Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT, from January 10 the show will have three contestants vying for the Jeopardy Champion title in a fast-paced battle of wits and skill.

“I am dizzy with delight and honoured to host Jeopardy! UK,” says Stephen Fry. “I hope Canadians watching this endlessly rewarding game show will welcome me into their homes as they did the great and iconic Jeopardy! host, Alex Trebek.

Jeopardy! was previously hosted by Trebek and is currently hosted by Ken Jennings and Mayim Bialik in the U.S. Fry, known for hosting the British quiz program QI, is no stranger to quiz shows.
