Despite the new name, Art Fleming was back as the host.
However, a lot of changes came with the new iteration of the show.

Alas, for those who loved Art Fleming, he wouldn’t be back for this third go around.
It would now be up to Alex Trebek to carry the quiz show into the future.

Even he didn’t rememberThe All New Jeopardy!.
Jeopardy!is available to stream in the U.S. on YouTube TV.
