Katie Couric
Journalist and former Today show host Katie Couric will make history by becoming the first woman ever to host game show Jeopardy!
Couric is one of the guest hosts scheduled to appear on the show, along with superstar quarterback Aaron Rodgers and journalist Bill Whitaker.
The guest hosts will lead the show once hosted by the late Alex Trebek who died from pancreatic cancer on November 8.
Trebek, who was the face of the show for 36 years, was featured in the final recorded shows which aired last week.
Ken Jennings, considered the show's greatest champion, is currently serving as the first guest host.
Rodgers is currently leading the Green Bay Packers through the NFL playoffs and is a former Celebrity Jeopardy! champion, and Whitaker is a 60 Minutes correspondent.
The show will make a donation to the guest hosts' charity of choice that matches the total dollar amount won by contestants during their run.
