Jennings is a huge Trump hating pig. I won’t watch the show if he’s on it. I may never watch it again because the show picked him.

He was charming, classy, & did it so well.

I never got the fascination with Alex Trebek. He simply asked questions of the participants. The participants’ knowledge sometimes was amazing.

That's why Trebek was so popular and beloved. He was very non-descript, understated, and simply did his job. Sometimes, being cheesy and sporting a sparkling smile while shouting "YOU WON!" isn't the way to go.

He seems like a very boring person with little personality. I love Jeopardy and Trebek will be extremely difficult to succeed. It would be tough for anyone but I truly don’t think Jennings is the best choice.

I’d like to see a Dennis Prager type

The best for me was a guy who questioned an answer about the inventor of the Ferris Wheel.

He said “I’d better get this right. He was my great grandfather.”

I was thinking the same thing. Who’s got the time?

If you watched long enough, you got to know more of his personality. Good sense of humor. No obnoxious insertion of politics. No over-the-top reactions. Just pure class. Few hosts of any type of show are like that these days. RIP.

Someone needs to start a new movement. We could call it #MeNeither.

The questions have definitely gotten easier. And many answers in “tough” categories are now written in a way that they are actually about easier categories if that makes sense.

Holy moly. I was less than thrilled to hear Jennings got the spot because I didn’t like him when he was a contestant. Just an icky kind of weasel guy.

Now? NOW?? What absolute little crap weasel @asshole. And they went ahead with him anyway?? Rude, nasty, mean, disgusting liberal.

I don’t think he’ll last long, if at all.

Hey! What’s Kelsey Grammer doing? He’d be PERFECT!

Jennings is a nerd with no personality; he made it big time bc he sits in a room and reads trivia all day. I hope he falls flat on his face and with enemies such as those on Twitter I don’t believe it will be long.

They were supposed to choose a one-legged lesbian transgender indigenous person who converted to Islam.

To: left that other site

I’ve watched him host various game shows since the 70s.
Liked him okay.

The whole nation prayed for his recovery and he was grateful for that.

Then not long ago, he came up with his “I don’t believe in God but I do believe in a higher power” comment.

Not sure how that worked out for him.

Hope not too bad.

Why would anyone watch this show???

I'd rather live my life doing stuff....not watching some "show".
