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. …

NOOOOOOO! Don’t let this weeping-for-an-hour-over-RBG punk ruin Jeopardy.

[trublu]

Can he see above the podium?

[Mouton]

Please not the gerbil.

[Intar]

Well, that would prevent me from ever watching Jeopardy again...

[\/\/ayne]

Jeopardy just wouldn’t be the same with an evil Clinton henchman hosting.

[FatherofFive]

And they lose half their audience

[Eccl 10:2]

I think Joe Lockhart would be better.

/s

[Seruzawa]

Well, he’s a relevant as a game show host.

[stanne]

Wha?

Could he allow his family go through Funeral

These people are evil.

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

[ontap]

Something I will never watch!!!

[RPTMS]

Maybe they can get Pat Sajak to do double duty.

[grateful]

I will never watch Jeopardy again if he’s the host.

[SkyDancer]

I don’t watch it but having shorty be the moderator? No way! Look what happened to DWTS when they canned the two great people there.

[CMB_polarization]

I’ll never watch it again.

[noexcuses]

HELL NO!!!!!

“I’d like Clinton lapdogs for $100”

[grateful]

That was my hope.
