Katie Couric will be one of the first hosts to take the “Jeopardy!” podium after the late Alex Trebek’s final episodes air this week.
The longtime network television powerhouse will guest-host the game show for a week, sources told the Los Angeles Times.
Couric did not respond to The Post’s request for comment on the hosting role. But the show has announced plans to have guest hosts lead the show until it finds a permanent replacement. Former “Jeopardy!” champ Ken Jennings has been booked for one of the guest-hosting slots.
The news comes as Trebek will appear for the last time on the long-running show on Friday’s episode. The beloved host died in November at 80 after a battle with stage 4 pancreatic cancer.
