When it comes to Ken Jennings‘ accomplishments, one that hasn’t been made official is the title of “hot.” The Jeopardy! host answered fans’ questions, and he reacted to many of them commenting on his looks.

“You commented. He reacted,” the Instagram post was captioned on October 13. In the video, Jennings stood behind his podium on the Alex Trebek stage to answer fans’ comments that were left on social media.

“Hey. This is Ken Jennings. They say to never read comments, but I’m going to break that rule right now, and I’m going to read some of your internet comments about me,” he said. “This is a mistake.”

The first one called him a “handsome, cute, funny, smart, intelligent man.” This made the host smile and shake his head in disbelief. “Too bad he isn’t part of my ‘family’ group. His wife is very lucky! *rainbow emoji*,” they wrote.

“Okay. Why is family in quotes?” the host wondered.

Another fan said that Jeopardy! posts funny videos on social media, which people “wouldn’t think so” because it’s “such an intellectual show.”

Before answering, Jennings laughed. “We’re like, listen: We know we’re smart and nerdy, but please…”

One Jeopardy! fan said they “don’t need other people finding out” that Jennings is “kinda hot.” “He’s MY hear me out d**n it,” they wrote. The host laughed and repeated, “I’m her hear me out. D**n it.”

Comedian Andy Richter joined in the fun and commented, “So hot!”

“Andy’s just kissing up. He wants to come back on Celebrity Jeopardy!” Jennings said.

Other fans asked why there were no “mpreg” or “omegaverse” in the “Pregnancy” category. “I can confirm. None of that,” he said.

When one fan said, “What I see after hitting a couple blinkers of the Pen Jennings,” along with a leaf, a puff of smoke, and two face emojis with bubbles in front of them, the host had no idea what any of it meant.

“I really love those comments, and I love that we’re incentivizing people to send in weirder and weirder stuff in hopes that I will answer it live,” Jennings said. “This is an amazing use of social media. Thanks for watching.”
