Longtime fans of “Jeopardy!” are threatening to boycott the show since Mayim Bialik and Ken Jennings are splitting hosting duties.
On Wednesday, the beloved game show announced that the two interim hosts would keep their jobs, with Jennings hosting from September to January and Bialik taking over from January through the end of the season.

“Blossom” (Mayim Bialik’s first iteration) may be an intellectual lefty, but she is also more quick of wit than most people, and that is a plus for any venue.
She does the “brain food” commercials, too.
Perhaps, but for those who were fanatics under Alex Trebek and are threatening to boycott the show because Trebek was not cloned, they should stop watching. It’s not the same for them.
Mayim and Ken are pleasant folks, and the guests tend to be interesting.
I never do well on questions about TV and pop culture. I have no interest in that.
I do like challenging my mind and memory on subjects that interest me, and some of them do.
I used to get almost all the correct answers. Not so much any more--I think it's because I have no interest in some of the subjects that seem to fascinate the producers of the show.
If Jeopardy should degenerate any further into some agitprop display, the OFF-SWITCH is as far away as my index finger.
There was an episode where was a tip was made that someone might try to board a flight with a gun, so they decided to wand all passengers before boarding. People freely walked around everywhere.
It must have been a great time to fly.
the powers that be have really screwed the pooch on this one. it shows that they cannot make a decision and accept the consequences. i do not like bialik b\in part because she claims to be a neuroscientist when she really is a game show host. having a degree doesn’t make you a practitioner. ken jennings is the closest thing to alex trebeck, and in many ways he IS jeopardy. if they have a problem with having a white male host, they should say so, else i don’t watch.
The BDS leftists mostly, as she is supportive of Israel.

I still like Art Fleming and Don Pardo. Jeopardy just hasn’t been the same since.
It is a TV show. Our family likes to watch it. Most of it is trivia. Some of it is lame... Watch it if you like, and watch something else if you don’t. We often switch to reruns of “Emergency”. That is why TVs have different channels...
This is my view as well. There are many option available so why stress over something you can not change (seldom do boycotts work).
“ I don’t understand the rancor.…”
There is no rancor. She’s fine. Neither one is Alex. The kids here say jeopardy host needs to be a man.
That’s prob true.
The never ending runs of geniuses are what’s brutal, esp when we have to hear their sexuality. That’s something best left to what was the norm for millennia - not talking about sex and not telling people that one prefers sex with certain people
The hosts don’t do that. They’d get discontinued in a second. Guests come and go. But they are the annoying ones.
Jep is doing reruns. Why would they put Matt amodio what’s his name on and not put Alec reruns.
“Mayim Bialik is a hard lefty…”
I imagine she could be. She never expresses her views on the show so what do I care? I’m not a small minded, bigoted leftist who hates people that think differently from me.
“ Alec Trebek was a good host, but that’s all. Mayim is also good, and Ken Jennings is better.”
Yep. This is just the post selling papers.
“It must have been a great time to fly”
I know this is off topic but....
Born in 1960 and an Army brat we traveled quite often....we were stationed in Italy for 2 1/2 years. I don’t recall even seeing a metal detector at the airports we went through.
I also cherish the years I experienced before the digitization of the world.
Yes many things are more convenient now but that comes with a cost also.
Back to the subject of the thread....I agree with those saying people should get a life....killing the television might also be a good idea.
Did you stop watching when Art Fleming left the show?
Exactly, it’s a TV show.
I’m glad you still enjoy the show. We just lost interest for the reasons I mentioned; it’s not a matter of great indignation or anything like that.
Of the two, I’d much rather see Ken Jennings host the show full time. Mayim Bialik is a little too snarky. She often feels compelled to add to an answer in order to demonstrate that she knows more about a category than the contestants.
But you are correct. To be the host of any one of those shows, you just need a grade-school education. Nothing special required talent-wise.
Two leftists getting ripped by other leftists.
I don’t see a problem.
I think Harvey is a pig...his mouth and actions are more than disgusting sometimes.
