What is “goodbye” for $1000?
RIP
I don’t know. I got tired of the stiff, semi-intellectually-arrogant “Jeopardy”.
I ended up liking “Cash Cab” better. Still challenging but a lot more fun.
It started out very challenging but then it gradually mirrored the dumbing down of America.
The show got worse when hard subjects were sidelined; instead we now have mostly popular culture and bizarre category titles.
This is sad news. An icon, and a good and decent man.
I always liked Jeopardy, but I’m a little smarter than most of the Neanderthals on Free Republic.
Will there be a replacement host, or will the show just cease?
Ugh! Me hit you with club for that!
I’m sure they’ll replace Alex with an HIV positive, left-handed, black, trans, vampire, with an eating disorder.
Will there be a replacement host, or will the show just cease?
...
I think, James, or whoever the most charismatic winner is will be the host...the guy who was the grand champion.
Unfortunately, they’ve been using that old liberal idiot Ken Jennings as cohost this season. I’m sure he slides over to host. I’m done.
Or Steve Harvey
LOL. Me go bam bam too. I live alone and turn on Jeopardy at dinner time so I don’t have to eat alone.
Ken Jennings and that wonderful LV gambler with buck teeth were hardly idiots.
James Holzhauer? I like him too. Great fun to watch.
An older former female coworker said she was a
contestant on HIGH ROLLERS when he hosted that 70s
show and that he was an arrogant flirty SOB then.
I couldn’t believe this given his beloved status, but I guess he matured

Jeopardy gave a nod to pop culture... but, they never “dumbed it down”. To the last show I saw... this week.. it was STILL challenging.
Too many “artsy” categories and contestants. Many of whom are effeminate types
Does anyone remember Art Fleming? His death was another “end of an era.” Those pesky eras just keep ending.
RIP!
