“probably end up with Snoop Dogg.”

Ewwwwwwwwwwww another waste of flesh and bone.

[dfwgator]

He’s already doing The Joker’s Wild

Lol. Three out of twenty thus far. Too tell the truth, family feud and let’s make a deal.

I liked The Chase, the old version, with that British guy they called The Beast. It was hosted by Brooke. She would be great on Jeopardy.

[napscoordinator]

I’m iffy on that. Problem is that between master mind and the new password show, I can’t watch too many others. I watch password only cuz the king of queen actress hosts. She’s a laugh. I almost think she’s a republican. Probably not as conservative as we are, but that’s a special breed. Ha.

I recall one of Jennings responses while on his long run as a winner. His answer was “what be Ebonics”. I laughed for an hour. They actually got it by the censor.

His first show he looked a bit unsteady. Hard to follow a giant IMO. The last one I saw he did credible. He is not going to be Alec no one is. I think of all the characters they have had win a lot of games, I think Brad would probably do a better job.

I've read that Jennings is a leftist punk. If that's true then it stands to reason that nobody would watch. Even if he isn't I'd probably not watch. I've seen Pat Sajack a few times and I wonder how good a replacement he'd be.

[Sans-Culotte]

He’s no Alex and he is a leftwit, but I think he has done okay in the job. He is for the most part unobtrusive. I expect I will miss him when they bring in the skank Couric.

[LeonardFMason]

Huh?

Ken Jennings has ALWAYS been an ASSHOLE. Embrace the SUCK of bad ratings.

[cherry]

not watching so there's that....

that little jennings is a arrogrant, irritating, hateful pri*k and jeopardy is over for me, after watching it for many decades.....

katie couric?....omg....

Regarding Ken Jenning’s TDS problem, my Dear Mother used to say “Some People are so smart, they’re Stupid”.

The older I got the more I understood what she meant.

[Veggie Todd]

Jennings is doing fine. He should get the job permanently. Nobody will come close to being Alex.

[irish guard]

Katie Couric? Please no

[Intolerant in NJ]

...including talk-show host Katie Couric...Katie "We have to de-program Trump voters" Couric - that'll do it for me......

[minnesota_bound]

The answer is: What is a Tall order?

[jocon307]

Yes, that was very clever!

[ridesthemiles]

IF so-—I won’t watch it.

Jennings is a bit stiff, but IO, most of us would be. Trebeck is a hard act to follow.

Couric would keep me from watching.

[OK_Sam]

No one I can think of!!

[Nifster]

Easier to answer trivia than run the show
