I think Ken Jennings or Je0pardy James should be the new host.
Ken Jennings did his stint and was good. I would support him as the new host.
Mike Richards, the Executive Producer, followed Ken and he was good too. The rest is stunt casting.
Interestingly, Richards is also Executive Producer of Wheel of Fortune, and Pat Sajak is listed as a Consulting Producer — the same title Ken Jennings has with Jeopardy.
Taht may mean something, or it may mean nothing, but I found it interesting.
