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. …

I’ll take Trebek for $400. Wouldn’t give a shi...er...Obama for Dork-o-apolis. What a complete loser.

A great choice if you don’t mind the “favored” contestant getting the “Final Jeopardy” answer...

Forget it George, everyone knows it's going to be the most winningest contestant of all time, Ken Jennings, and has known for a long time.

We’re not even going to be able to watch Jeopardy anymore.
Can we stop them from infecting and destroying anything?

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

No one's fit to fill Alex's shoes but Jennings is a walking encyclopedia, he'll do fine and grow right into the job.

Nice, George. Alex passed away barely 24 hours and you’re plotting to take his slot. You’re a cold bastard. By the way, you’d destroy Jeopardy forever. Nobody wants to watch a low IQ Democrat Party hack on Jeopardy. Nobody wants to watch you on GMA.https://t.co/Url5rEkwXW— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) November 10, 2020

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

I think Ken Jennings would be perfect for the job. He's already well known to Jeopardy fans, well liked, is obviously very knowledgeable on a wide variety of subjects, and has the right temperament for the job.

Alex Trebek may have dropped a hint about this on the show a few weeks ago. They had Jennings give all of the clues in one of the categories. After the category was finished, Trebek said: "I'm a little nervous after watching how well Ken Jennings did in presenting those clues. He's got me looking over my shoulder."
