I think most of us have changed since the 70’s.

Ken Jennings one of the contestants on Mastermind. I was always wondering where they got him from, because they got the other 2 contestants from the game show The Chase

Hmmm. Dumbed down you say? I was not a regular watcher but wondered why in the past few years I could answer almost all the questions. I thought I got smarter. Apparently not :)

The best thing about Jeopardy is how it immediately gets down to business, and then do the greetings in the show.

Well you got a lot of faggots on Cash Cab too, but that’s because NYC is full of them. Not much you can do about that.

It started out very challenging but then it gradually mirrored the dumbing down of America.

I have to agree with you.

Well said & I agree. When I visit with my mom every summer we would have a G & T or a glass of wine & watch JEOPARDY. Nice memory now.....

Yes I do. He was the original Host of Jeopardy

I’m betting on Ken Jennings...James is nice, very impressive, guy. However, I find a little too ‘’off’’ to be a host.

If you watch Master Minds, Jennings is much more ‘’polished’’.

I think Ken is probably next up.

Jeopardy! will never be the same. Thank you Alex for helping to bring my family together from 7:30pm ET to 8:00pm ET each night. Rest in Peace!

They’d give anything for Ken Jennings to be just A BIT more charismatic. I’d have liked Stephen Fry to do it, but I suspect he’s a little too long in the tooth to want to bother. I think “The Beast” from The Chase would make an excellent choice. In any event, sad day for television.

As Jeopardy is one of the few things not poisoned by politics, picking Jennings as a replacement would be a bad call. Jennings is a leftist with a history of nasty tweets.

So I fully expect Jennings or someone like him to get the job.

Such a lovely man. So sad for his family. I read somewhere that he had become a person of faith—I hope so.

Or Steve Harvey


I don’t think he has time or facial expressions left.

From my couch I’m pretty good at it, though certain categories leave me cold.
