The new batch of “Jeopardy!” guest host episodes will start on July 12 with Stephanopoulos as host. Stephanopoulos’ shows will air from July 12 to July 16, followed by Roberts (July 19 to July 23) and then Burton to finish the month (July 26 to July 30). Faber (Aug. 2 to Aug. 6) and Buck (Aug. 9 to Aug. 13) will close out the group’s hosting schedule.

“Jeopardy!” has had guest hosts for the show’s 37th season, as a result of legendary host Alex Trebek passing away in the fall. Previous guest hosts this season have included former “Jeopardy!” contestant Ken Jennings, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and actress Mayim Bialik, among others.

All this week while I am guest hosting, @Jeopardy is matching contestants’ winnings and donating the money to @HASHaiti. The Hospital Albert Schweitzer is in a remote part of #Haiti and serves people who might not get treatment otherwise. Thanks Jeopardy! https://t.co/bK5u0Ipjuu pic.twitter.com/CkL5pFoxIe

As part of each guest host’s appearance, the show will make a contribution to the charity of their choice with amount matching the cumulative winnings of all contestants who compete during the host’s tenure, according to the “Jeopardy!” website.
