Mattea Roach did very well on Jeopardy, winning 23 games, the most of any Canadian contestant ever. Now the clever Canuck has been tapped to ask the questions as host of a new CBC Radio 1 show about the literary world called "Bookends." Roach is filling the shoes of a long time CBC host, who is retiring.

"Eleanor Wachtel, who had hosted the program [Writers and Company] since its inception in 1990, announced her retirement last year.

Wachtel will host a final episode on Sept. 1 to discuss Roach's new role and their vision for the show.

CBC promises "Bookends" will offer listeners a glimpse into the minds of great writers from Canada and around the world."

It debuts Sept. 8th, and hopefully the guests won't have to answer in the form of a question.
