Ken Jennings is calling out the Recording Academy for their latest snub.

“This should 100% be Alex’s Grammy nomination. He wrote this book and reads so much for the audiobook!,” Jennings wrote. “Who do I speak to about this?”

According to Deadline, the publisher, Simon & Schuster, submitted both Trebek and the champion Jennings, but only Jennings received the Grammy nod.
The news comes just days after Jennings was announced as the first interim host of the beloved game show. Officials confirmed they will bring in multiple members of the “Jeopardy!” family to guest host for the time being.
