is this Michael Richards of Seinfeld fame? I remember him yelling about Jews during a stand up set once. I can’t believe he’d want to host Jeopardy- that’s why i am asking.
Sadly, the show has gone downhill since Alex's death. Most of the questions s_ck, it's more popular culture than trivia, the answers can now be vague, last names suffice (you rarely hear "be more specific") and the latest 'champion' is a true representative of a modern education - too lazy to say what is / who is / where is - always replies "what's..."
And the cutsie little waves and hand gestures during the intros make me believe the adults have left the set and a bunch of half witted wokesters (or lawyers with marketing degrees) are running the show now.
Idiot. Richards was the best option as host. I guess that moron LeVar Burton will get the job.
No, not Kramer. This guy is an executive producer of the show. Too bad, he was my 1st choice.
I read some of the jokes he made some 15 years ago that have now led to this “controversy”.
They were (gasp!) funny. They were typical routine jokes that Americans used to laugh at. They weren’t vulgar or obscene.
Comedy. Another area that liberals have ruined.
Exactly. Did anyone at all truly believe this guy would be allowed to remain indefinitely? Hence the entire “co-host” charade to begin with.

Yes, he, Henny Youngman and Mort Sahl had a horrible knowdown dragout in the Catskills a few years back.
Richards ended up riding in a special medical rickshaw for many months.
“ That’s Wheel of fortune.”
Aye, that it is, lol
Point still valid, however
I am beyond sick of “offensive and sexist” comments upsetting ppl. If someone is that fragile...go live in a cave.
And they let Jimmy Kimmel have a pass on that pathetic show he used to be on, can’t remember the name if it, The Man Cave or something like that.
Different guy; Michael Richards was on Fridays ABC late night; in Weird Al’s UHF movie and Seinfeld.Yelled the n word at
hecklers/late arrivers
“ The next Jeopardy! host”
That was literally the first thought that popped in my head upon reading the title. I don’t really know anything about this so was that tongue and cheek, or is she actually in the running?
I don’t know who Cooper Anderson is, but Anderson Cooper wasn’t that good. He was only slightly better than Katie Couric, who was downright terrible.
I’d vote for Ken Jennings or Buzzy before I’d let most of those subs host. Ugh! Whatever happened to Trebek’s son? Did he ever get to try?
I think it was called The Man Show. How Kimmel survives still is beyond me.
> And they let Jimmy Kimmel have a pass on that pathetic show he used to be on, <
It was called ‘The Man Show’. And for those who don’t know, Kimmel’s routine was to put something in his front pants pocket. Then he’d go up to women in the street, and ask them to feel his pants and guess what the object was.
It was pretty disgusting. But as you noted, Kimmel is a liberal. So forgive and forget.
He's no dummy, with a MA in English literature from Yale (and started work on his PhD). IMHO he has the affability, intellect and just the right quirky humor to be a great Jeopardy host.
I kid, of course. Liberals are not held to those kinds of standards.
I saw a video of a vintage April Fools edition of Jeopardy, where Pat Sajak was the guest host. He did a great job.
This white dude didn’t stand a chance surviving.
