I still miss Chuck Woolery.
Agree 100% - my mother said that until the day she died - and she was a hard-core WOF and Jeopardy fan. She also preferred Jack Paar to Johnny Carson, but never stopped watching Carson until he retired.
That said, Pat Sajek has always been a class act, and was an acceptable replacement for Woolery.
Whoopi Goldberg is anything but a class act, an bitter, angry race hustler - who wants to watch that? I too strongly suspect the ratings will tank if she is the replacement.
