“I'll take Fashion Icons for $600, Ken.” One of the best game shows ever, Jeopardy!, is well underway in 2025, and viewers may have noticed something different about Ken Jennings. The host has been looking particularly sharp this season, sparking speculation about a new stylist.
Surprisingly, the updated wardrobe isn’t due to a new stylist. Former co-host Mayim Bialik once mentioned that she received more wardrobe feedback than her male counterparts, since the men typically wore suits. However, many fans, including daily viewers, pay close attention to how Ken Jennings coordinates his suits, shirts, and ties.
“It’s been hard not to notice over the past month or so of new episodes that Ken Jennings is doing a lot of pattern-on-pattern looks, rather than his typical patterned tie over a solid shirt.”
A Reddit discussion highlighted Ken’s bolder style this season. It turns out the change is linked to Jeopardy!’s tie collection being digitized, which helps select tie and shirt combinations more easily, rather than a stylist change.
Ken Jennings’ updated style on Jeopardy! comes from a digitized tie collection that simplifies outfit coordination, resulting in a bolder, more stylish look this season.
