Ken Jennings Ken Jennings is under fire for a past tweet mocking the disabled, just two days after it was announced he will be Alex Trebek ’s temporary replacement on Jeopardy! From one respected host to the other: ‘Jeopardy!’ legend Ken Jennings is all-praise when it comes to ‘MasterMinds’ host Brooke Burns. “How about a little @BrookeBurns appreciation tweet,” Ken Jennings tweets to fans. The “Jeopardy!” All-Time Champ” and former interim host is singing the praises of Brooke Burns Tuesday as the two gear up for “two new episodes of MasterMinds!”.

Ken Jennings has offered an apology regarding 'unartful and insensitive things' he's tweeted.

The past tweets resurfaced after it was announced that Jennings would be the first guest host of 'Jeopardy!' following the death of longtime host Alex Trebek in November after a battle with pancreatic cancer.

Jennings on Wednesday tweeted, 'Hey, I just wanted to own up to the fact that over the years on Twitter, I've definitely tweeted some unartful and insensitive things.'

'Sometimes they worked as jokes in my head and I was dismayed to see how they read on screen,' he wrote. 'In the past, I'd usually leave bad tweets up just so they could be dunked on. At least that way they could lead to smart replies and even advocacy. Deleting them felt like whitewashing a mistake.'

He added that by leaving the tweets up he believed he 'may have given the impression I stand by every failed joke I've ever posted here.' He said that was not the case.

'Sometimes I said dumb things in a dumb way and I want to apologize to people who were (rightfully!) offended,' another tweet read. 'It wasn't my intention to hurt anyone, but that doesn't matter: I screwed up, and I'm truly sorry.'

Some Twitter users responded by sharing some of the now deleted tweets, including one from 2014 in which Jennings wrote 'Nothing sadder than a hot person in a wheelchair.' He apologized for that tweet in 2018 writing 'it was a joke so inept that it meant something very different in my head & I regret the ableist plain reading of it!'

Jennings ended his tweets Wednesday by looking ahead.

'If 2020 has taught us anything, it's that we should be kinder to one another,' he wrote. 'I look forward to heading into 2021 with that in mind.'

Tasteless tweets written by game-show whiz Ken Jennings could put his chances of landing a dream job in jeopardy.

The 46-year-old brainiac, who holds the record for longest winning streak on “Jeopardy!” at 74 games, has apologized yet again for several repugnant social-media posts he previously penned.

“Nothing sadder than a hot person in a wheelchair,” read one Jennings tweet from Sept. 22, 2014.

The following year, he callously cracked on “Star Wars” superfan and cancer patient Daniel Fleetwood, who was the first person to view a screening of “The Force Awakens.”

Less than a week after watching the film, the 32-year-old man died of spindle cell sarcoma, reported NBC News at the time.

After learning of Fleetwood’s passing, Jennings quipped, “It can’t be a good sign that every fan who has seen the new ‘Star Wars’ movie died shortly thereafter.”

Upcoming 'Jeopardy!' guest host Ken Jennings, a 74-time champion of the popular quiz show, has owned up to tasteless tweets.

And in 2017, Jennings engaged in a Twitter feud with President Trump’s oldest son, Donald Trump Jr., when he joked about Trump Jr.’s half-brother, Barron.

“Barron Trump saw a very long necktie on a heap of expired deli meat in a dumpster,” tweeted Jennings. “He thought it was his dad and his little heart is breaking.”

Trump Jr. called the tweet a low blow while slamming Jennings as a member of the “left.”

But Jennings followed up by landing a dig regarding Trump Jr.’s hunting exploits.

Hey, I just wanted to own up to the fact that over the years on Twitter, I've definitely tweeted some unartful and insensitive things. Sometimes they worked as jokes in my head and I was dismayed to see how they read on screen. 1/x

“I will kill as many white rhinos as it takes to prove my masculinity to Donald Trump Jr.”

On Wednesday, Jennings admitted to his lapses in judgment.

“Hey, I just wanted to own up to the fact that over the years on Twitter, I’ve definitely tweeted some unartful and insensitive things,” Jennings wrote in a lengthy tweet post. “Sometimes they worked as jokes in my head and I was dismayed to see how they read on screen.”

He also explained that he didn’t trash the unseemly posts to avoid the appearance of attempting to “whitewash a mistake.”

In November, it was announced that Jennings would serve as an interim “Jeopardy!” host after the death of Alex Trebek. On Wednesday, he concluded on an optimistic tone.
