'Jeopardy!' Names Former Champion Ken Jennings as Interim Host; Cancel Culture Shows up in Less Than 24 Hours

[grateful]

I’m going to be blunt. Jennings is an a-hole and they couldn’t have made a worse pick than him. Everyone I’ve discussed this with agrees.

[a fool in paradise]

Did you even watch the show?

Alex told answers and instructed the guests to post the correct questions.

I hate cancel culture, but I certainly don’t have Jennings’ back in this one....he’s on his own

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

I think we should let him twist awhile. He can commiserate with J.K. Rowling, who dared to believe in human sexual biology.

[xrmusn]

Yes, it makes sense.

I got Magna Carta Tues night because it was the only thing I basically remember from the time frame given.

Actually when they gave the subject prior the break I called it....

Of course, don’t ask me what I had for lunch yesterday...<: <: <:

That was my bet; AA seems to be the trend in game shows, Drew Carey aside (but he would almost certainly not be replaced with a white man these days).
Alex was a classy, composed guy, and Ken is a smug punk.

[gattaca]

Agree. I never realized he was a Trump hater until he made a negative comment about Make America Great Again.

We also used to watch Fox Network’s Ina Garten until she made a comment during a book signing about the only think she would cook for Pres. Trump is a subpoena.

They ruin everything. Football, entertainment, even food...

Yeah, I heard that too, but I never consider my prayers to be wasted.

Oh Well.

[laconic]

In addition, Ken Jennings is a Dweeb.

[A Navy Vet]

Correct, I got it backwards.

"Yeah, yeah, I know he was a liberal, but at least he wasn’t a NASTY one"

I don't think Alex was a liberal.

In his book, he mentions that he got solicitations from both republicans and democrats who thought he was on *their* side.

Trebek wrote:"Nobody knows my politics, and I like it that way."

If he follows the pattern of most prominent long-time game show hosts, I'd guess he was a moderate republican.

Chuck Woollery is hard-core conservative, Sajak is conservative, Drew Carey is conservative, Bob Barker is a republican, Wink Martindale is a republican.

[rintintin]

Isnt he LDS?

[left that other site]

Whatever.

RIP Alex.
