    Jeopardy !'s Instagram account posted a video of Ken asking former contestants questions but when reading them, he changed his voice to go with the theme. The clip showed Ken doing voice impressions of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Marvin the Martian, a character from the Wizard of Oz, Daffy Duck and more.

    Jeopardy! fans were impressed with Ken's voice impressions and even gave the show ideas on some he should do.

A third wrote: "Now he just has to do Gilbert Gottfried and Michael Winslow from Police Academy." A fourth wrote: "How can you not love Ken?!? [purple heart emoji]"

    Viewers at home are waiting for the show to go back to it's regular programming as it is currently on summer break and airing reruns.

Instagram account then posted a video, showing comments from fans begging for the streaming platform to bring it back.
