Friday marked Whittaker’s final appearance asJeopardy!guest host. His two-week stint began on Monday, May 3.
Chatting withThe Washington Postearlier this month, the 69-year-old television journalist shared details about what went into his guest role on the long-running television quiz show and how it was different from his other television ventures, including CBS'60 Minutes.
“Here, you had, I think, four cameras — one swoops in from the side, you talk to that one at the end of one commercial, and then swoops to another one you have to talk to after a commercial, and then the contestants are over on the other side,” he added. “The thing that I was most surprised about was just how fast-paced it is.”
Next up,Jeopardy!will air its fan-favorite Tournament of Champions for two weeks, beforeMayim Bialiktakes over for her two-week guest role.
