JEOPARDY: New Set Will Promote Social Distancing
Alex Trebek says he plans to keep on hosting Jeopardy as long as his health will allow him, and when he starts taping the show again in a few weeks, the set will have some very noticeable changes.
Social distancing is a top priority on the show, so the new set will allow for more space between the contestants. Trebek toldGood Morning America, "We’ve redesigned our set to separate the contestants and myself a little bit more from them. So we're taking all kinds of precautions. Our testing procedure now is done online.” He adds that he will tape five shows a day, two days a week and without a studio audience. "If it’s too much for me, we can always cut back a little bit, maybe do four a day.”
Trebek, who turns 80 today, released his memoir, The Answer Is…: Reflections on My Life, recently
