It's just such an American institution.
00:03
I've been a fan of Jeopardy for all of my life.
00:06
Jeopardy is iconic.
00:07
It's this legendary show.
00:09
Everyone loves it.
00:14
I've been a Jeopardy fan my entire life.
00:16
But being the next Jeopardy guest host, dream come true.
00:20
I'm with the audience.
00:21
I don't want me out here.
00:22
I want to see Alex out here.
00:30
Jeopardy is about deep wisdom and many layers of insight.
00:39
You can start in the very beginning
00:40
and maybe you don't even understand the words.
00:42
But by the time you master it, you
00:43
really feel like you're aware of a lot more going
00:45
around the world around you.
00:47
It's about making people that are smart the most
00:50
important people in the room.
00:51
And I just think it's so important to keep that going
00:56
and to continue Alex's legacy.
00:58
I loved Alex Trebek.
01:00
And I was so inspired by him, especially by his courage
01:05
toward the end of his life.
01:07
There's a lot of nostalgia, I think,
01:08
wrapped up in this show for me because I used to watch it
01:11
when I was a kid and when I'd go on my weeks
01:13
to my grandma and grandpa's house.
01:15
It was a staple in their house every night.
01:17
To be on this stage where Alex Turek hosted Jeopardy
01:20
with such grace and intelligence for so long is really amazing.
01:23
And it's very humbling.
01:24
I've been a fan of Alex and Jeopardy since high school.
01:27
I've competed four times on Celebrity Jeopardy.
01:29
I won twice, and I lost very badly twice.
01:32
I just wanted to make sure that I didn't walk away from here
01:35
looking like an idiot, you know?
01:37
I just wanted to be as smart as this group around here
01:41
and these folks up here.
01:42
They're incredible.
01:43
I stood on this stage in my Tournament of Champions,
01:46
and I told Alex I wanted a shot to host.
01:48
Did you hear that, Austin?
01:49
He's after my job.
01:51
I can't believe I got that shot.
01:52
I mean, how many people just say, this is a dream,
01:55
and that dream comes true?
01:56
Am I pronouncing lemur-ia right?
01:58
Like lemurs.
01:59
Lemur-ia.
02:00
I think being a woman of science, as I am,
02:03
is something that I'm obviously very passionate
02:06
about presenting myself as.
02:08
I really didn't grow up with a lot of female role models.
02:11
You were born during an episode of Jeopardy?
02:14
I was.
02:15
I know I could never be a contestant
02:17
because I'm not very good at trivia.
02:19
So this was the closest I was ever going to get
02:22
to the Jeopardy stage.
02:23
So I had to jump at the chance.
02:25
As a neurosurgeon, I understand the importance
02:27
of exercising your brain,
02:28
so I recommend watching Jeopardy every day.
02:31
The minute I heard I was going to do it
02:32
and started telling people, everybody lights up
02:35
when you tell them you're going to be guest hosting Jeopardy.
02:37
People you would never expect.
02:38
They think it's the coolest thing in the world,
02:41
and after doing it for a week of shows, they're right.
02:43
There's so few times in life you can say
02:46
you're doing something for the first time,
02:48
and I'll remember all three of you.
02:50
You were very gentle with me, and I appreciate that.
02:52
Being a host, being behind that podium,
02:55
knowing all the people, all the guest hosts
02:57
that have been there, but more importantly,
02:59
knowing the man who was behind that podium
03:01
for all those years, and to stand there,
03:04
something I will not forget ever.
03:06
Alex did this for 37 years.
03:08
The man was like butter.
03:10
I have been in this business for 45 years,
03:12
and the team here at Jeopardy,
03:14
one of the best I have ever encountered in my life.
03:17
Well, it's challenging.
03:19
I didn't realize quite how challenging.
03:21
I watched an awful lot of Alex Trebek,
03:23
and I sort of started to understand.
03:25
Let's play Jeopardy.
03:26
