While serving as "Jeopardy!" guest host this week, Fox Sports broadcaster Joe Buck explained how his stint will benefit a St. Louis-area charity: “While I'm guest hosting this week, ‘Jeopardy!’ will be matching the total winnings of all the contestants and donating that amount to a charity I've been involved with for many years. It's called KidSmart. KidSmart's mission is to empower children to succeed by providing school-essential learning tools. I've watched this charity do so much good in my hometown of St. Louis, Missouri, and I'm looking forward to earning lots of money for them this week” ( "Jeopardy!" 8/10). The episodes airing this week "were taped in May" (KMOV.com, 8/9).
Today is the day! @Buck is guest hosting @Jeopardy! this week. Earnings made this week on the show will be matched in a donation from Jeopardy! to KidSmart. Send Joe your well wishes, & tune in today & all week to watch Joe knock it out of the park!#KidSmartSTL #Jeopardy pic.twitter.com/GKuUT3zdmf
