“I'll take Fashion Icons for $600, Ken.” One of the best game shows of all time is well underway on the 2025 TV schedule, and viewers have noticed that Ken Jennings looks particularly sharp this season. Fans speculated that a new stylist might be responsible for his updated wardrobe, but the true reason is more intriguing.
Former co-host Mayim Bialik commented that she received more wardrobe feedback than male hosts, who typically wear suits. However, regular viewers of Jeopardy! often 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.”
This observation sparked an active discussion on Reddit about Ken’s bolder fashion choices this season.
The change was not due to a new stylist but because Jeopardy!’s extensive tie collection has been digitized. This digitization makes it easier to select combinations, allowing Ken Jennings to experiment with more daring pattern-on-pattern looks than before.
