The guest hosting thing worked to fill out the season, get the new host out of the shadow of Alex Trebek, and raise money for charity, but it's time to pick a permanent host.

Ken Jennings is a really annoying Uber liberal prick he’d fit right in

“Who is the Guest Host that 89% of viewers hate the most?

[BipolarBob]

Ken Jennings did okay.

[BipolarBob]

Anderson Cooper or George Steponallofus?

[cherry]

refuse to have Jennings in my living room, let alone the dog house....that Buzz guy is my choice, but no one listens to me....

[mylife]

no one will replace Alex

[stanne]

His to lose. The producer, the only non biased competent non hammy competent one they chose had to be fixed. He didn’t have any trump hating Bona Fides

Jennings, on he other hand passes the test with insane trump hate tweet from months ago

As aunt em said, being a christian woman I can’t say what I would like to

[TBP]

Yes, I thought he did a nice job. So did Mayim and Buzzy and Aaron.

[lee martell]

Those two are running neck & neck for the win.

Aaron Rogers was great.Loves the game been playing it since a kid. I refuse to listen to Jennings whiney voice. I stopped watching jeopardy.

[TBP]

True, but they said the same thing about Art Fleming.

[TBP]

Buzzy is good.

[TBP]

Have you seen The Chase?

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

I really liked LeVar Burton a lot, I don’t know why they didn’t pick him.

[LeoTDB69]

There will never be another Grand Trebekie

Anyone remember this practical joke on Alex by the Trebekkies. Hilarious.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Yep. He’s the Rush Limbaugh of game show hosts.

[TBP]

Hre was performing rather than hosting, and he was overdoign it, IMO. He and Couric wer the two I really didn’t much like.

Maybe throw Joe Buck into that list too.

Besides, you don’t want to go through this every decade or so. You want someone in hte Mike Richards age bracket. If you get a host who’s 45 and that host stays to teh same age tha tAlex was when he died (80), that host is in place until 2056. That person will make his or her own mark on the show.

[MinorityRepublican]

In that case, they should had gone with Aaron Rodgers. Already a household name. I haven't watched him on Jeopardy to know if he's any good. The problem is that he might get bored easily so he may quit after a couple of years on the job, which is how I see it.

You need someone like Alex Trebek or Mike Richards who would be content with the job for life.

Those two are running neck & neck for the win.

You mean there's a prize for bottom of the barrel?
