What is a human pyramid?
“Danger!” Host Ken Jennings scored a first for the quiz show on Monday when he honored a contestant’s unusual request to form a human pyramid on stage.
The show shared the funny moment that played over the end credits after Champions Wildcard contestant Emily Seaman Hoy previously explained that she and her family like to take photos of themselves forming a pyramid when they go to places like the Pyramids of Giza or outside Mexico City and the Northern Lights travel below.

“We’ve never built a human pyramid here and I don’t think I’ve ever been in one, so we’ll have to talk after the show,” he replied.

“Well Ken, there’s a first time for everything!” the show wrote on its social media along with a video and photo of the moment.
Hoy, who previously appeared in two episodes in 2021, came in second place behind contestant Dane Reighard.
In addition to hosting “Jeopardy!”, Jennings is hosting the latest season of “Celebrity Jeopardy!” when Mayim Bialik stepped down due to the ongoing writers’ strike. The strike officially ended last week.

After the news was announced in August, fans expressed mixed feelings about Bialik’s hosting skills, with some favoring Jennings.
“Great to see Ken, love him as a host,” one fan wrote in the Instagram post.

“Now that Mayim is no longer moderating I can watch this,” one user wrote, referencing Bialik’s decision to step down.
“Danger!” has always supported Bialik as a host.
Before Bialik and Jennings took over, the show was hosted by Alex Trebek, whose tenure on the game show spanned 37 seasons. After a long battle with pancreatic cancer, the 80-year-old died in November 2020.
