Beat me to posting this. Premieres October 7, and AFAIK will run only on weeks Monday Night Football is not on ABC.
If I have it right, primetime Celebrity Jeopardy is being held until midseason, with no clear word on who is hosting.

I see this more as a transitory thing. Pat will barely be out of the role (due to reruns) starting this fall, and I don't think ABC wants to mess with something that is currently working good enough from a ratings perspective. Once Ryan gets his footing in the syndicated show, I could see him taking over the Celebrity version as well.

Well, if the newest videos on their YouTube channel are any indication, only Ken appears now in the "click to subscribe" tag at the end...

If it was somebody other than Ryan Seacrest taking over the MC role, not messing with a working formula is something I could see; but it's Ryan Seacrest. What can't he host, and who wouldn't watch him?
