The long-running trivia game show Jeopardy! announced Wednesday it will be doubling up on hosts, naming Mike Richards as the successor to the late Alex Trebek and Mayim Bialik as emcee for a prime-time spinoff.

Tuesday’s announcement comes roughly eight months following the death of Trebek, who succumbed to a battle with stage 4 pancreatic cancer at the age of 80. Richards said he was “deeply honored” to take on the role as host, according to a press statement released by Sony Pictures Television.
