Former "Today" show host Katie Couric will reportedly return to TV as she sets to be the next guest host of "Jeopardy!" after episodes hosted by the late Alex Trebek air.

Back in November, Jeopardy executive producer Mike Richards released a statement stating that the final episode filmed before Trebek's death would air on Jan. 8.

Trebek passed away at the age of 80 after battling stage 4 pancreatic cancer.

Friday's episode will include “a special tribute to the life and work of the man who captained America’s Favorite Quiz Show with skill, style, and sophistication for 36+ years,” according to a statement.

Former contestant Ken Jennings will be the first guest host when new episodes air beginning Jan. 11.

According to The Los Angeles Times, Couric will be one of many guest hosts until a permanent replacement is announced.

Couric anchored on “Today” from 1991 through 2006.

More than two months after Alex Trebek's death, fans of "Jeopardy!" finally got the chance to say goodbye.

A video tribute to the host closed Friday's episode of the quiz show, the final one that Trebek taped before pancreatic cancer claimed his life on Nov. 8.

The 90-second montage, set to Hugh Jackman singing the song "Once Before I Go," is a lighthearted and laughter-filled remembrance showing Trebek's changing look through his 36 years as host.

It shows Trebek with a mustache and without, dancing and verbally sparring with contestants.

It ends with Trebek saying "So long" to viewers through the decades.

New episodes will begin airing Monday with former "Jeopardy!" champion Ken Jennings set to guest host.

Former "Today" anchor Katie Couric is reportedly slated to guest host after Jennings.

Jean Trebek sees a great lesson in how her late husband continued to work — even while he struggled with pancreatic cancer."Doing Jeopardy really gave him a sense of purpose, a reason to wake up in the morning," she told "Today's" Savannah Guthrie in an interview which aired Monday. "And I would say we all need that. We all need a purpose."The beloved "Jeopardy!" host lost his battle with cancer last November. He was 80.His widow talked to Guthrie about life since losing her husband of 30 years."I absolutely have moments of waves of grief that just come over me," Trebek said. "Still, really disbelief that he is — that he is gone. I miss him a lot."She also discussed his devotion to charity. The couple helped to fund a new homeless shelter in Los Angeles for the charity Hope of the Valley which now bears their family name."He loved representing the underdeveloped countries, communities," Jean Trebek said. "You know, he really wanted to be a spokesman for the underdog."That extended to his desire to be very public with his cancer diagnosis in an attempt to help others, she said."I think that is one of Alex's gifts was that he could be very resolute and know that the truth will not hurt you and he wanted to empower people to move through whatever challenge they had in life with a sense of inner strength, inner dignity and love," she said.
