And the category is: People who are angling for Alex Trebek’s job.

Reps for ABC News journalist George Stephanopoulos are lobbying for him to take over as host of “Jeopardy!,” according to The Wrap, citing a “highly placed” source.

The website says the 59-year-old — who co-anchors “Good Morning America” on ABC — has been “actively” chasing the role.

ABC, which has the syndication rights to the game show, will have to decide on a replacement with the game show’s distributor, CBS Television, and producer Sony Television. …

He is an adolescent biased anchor who never had a real job in his life.

Who is George Stephanopolous?

I like Kayleigh McEnany for that gig. Smart as all get out. She could read the Jeopardy answers from that binder of hers.

Hopefully, Kayleigh is busy for the next four years.

Doubtful - too far for George’s mother to drive him to work.

Let's see, in the age of #MeToo, what is George Step-on-all-of-us' history:

1. During the 1992 Presidential election, when working on Bill Clinton's campaign, Step-on-all-of-us is ON FILM threatening a reporter who's about to go public with reports of Clinton's woman abuse.

2. Eager to show he hasn't learned his lesson, Step-on-all-of-us attended a dinner party at Jeffry Epstein's house in 2010, AFTER the scumbucket Epstein was released from a too-light prison sentence for his sex crimes with minors.

Yeah, THIS seems like a great way to keep 'Jeapordy!' beloved across the whole spectrum of America!

Ken Jennings.
I think they’re already grooming him, thanks to his current appearances.

Not sure he’s fit to fill Alex’s shoes, though.

Ken Jennings and that is it.

Stephanopoulos would have to wear 12 inch platform shoes to make wide shots presentable when bantering with contestants. Plus the guy is unlikable to 50% of the population due to having that Clinton stench on him 24/7.

Can he see above the podium?

Probably not. Certainly not over the lectern.

Jennings is a Trump hating lefty. If he takes over, I’m done.

Not surprising at all. There’s not a single media talking head that doesn’t think they know everything about everything.

I’ll never watch it again.”

Same here. It is one of the best gigs you can imagine. It pays a boatload, you work 4 weeks of about 12 hour days and that’s it for the year.
