Alex Trebek thinks Kings' play-by-play announcer could replace him on 'Jeopardy'

If Los Angeles Kings play-by-play announcer Alex Faust wanted to change careers and become a game show host, he would have a legendary figure in his corner.

Long-time "Jeopardy" host Alex Trebek was recently on FOX News Channel's "OBJECTified," during which he told Harvey Levin he may retire from the show once his contract expires in 2020. However, if he does call it quits, Trebek would recommend Faust as his replacement.

"I mentioned to our producer not so long ago that the fellow that does play-by-play for the Los Angeles Kings - they should consider him," Trebek said to Levin, according to Sports Illustrated's Emily Caron.

It's an interesting proposition and one Faust doesn't necessarily seem opposed to.

Faust took over for Bob Miller in the broadcast booth after Miller retired at the end of the 2016-2017 season after 44 years.
