Jeopardy!’ names Ken Jennings as guest host. Just 1 day later, cancel culture comes for him over a 6-year-old tweet.

Former “Jeopardy!” champion — and newly announced guest host — Ken Jennings is facing cancel culture after a questionable 2014 tweet of his resurfaced, sparking outrage on the internet.

Jennings currently holds the record for the longest winning streak at 74 of any contestant on the show.

On Monday, the show announced Jennings as one of production’s guest hosts.

As highlighted by Decider, Jennings in 2014 tweeted, “Nothing sadder than a hot person in a wheelchair.”

In 2018, he issued an apology for the remarks, saying, “I never did a public flogging for this but I did apologize personally to angry/hurt people who reached out to me personally. It was a joke so inept that it meant something very different in my head & I regret the ableist plain reading of it.”
