Jennings is an anti-Trump Leftist crank. Balik is no better.

I wouldn’t envy anyone who tries to follow Alex. He was the face of the show and anyone else will be measured by that yardstick.

As a regular Jeopardy watcher, I’m fine with either Mayim Bialik or Ken Jennings.... or the two of them sharing it.

Heh. I was at a relative’s a few weeks ago and he’s a game show nut. We watched jeopardy. For me it was the first time in 25 years. I wondered where Alex was. Meanwhile, they were rooting for this guy that was winning like crazy, week after week. Oddly, I didn’t find it the least bit entertaining seeing an “ultimate nerd” prove he had perfect recall of an infinite number of useless facts. It’s like watching the Rain Man count toothpicks.

Mayim Bialik and Ken Jennings have both done reasonably credible jobs as fill-in hosts mostly because they make the show about the contestants and not about themselves.

However, I think the quality of the questions have continued their steady decline.

More about celebrity crap (who won this academy award in 2018 or this music award in 2020) and less about hard science, math or history. I understand they think that they have to attract a younger and more shallow thinking audience, but most of those would rather watch Oprah or Naked and Afraid anyway.

Bialik leaves me cold. Jennings has lightened up and is much improved. If it’s between those two then my choice is Ken, but I thought Buzzy did an even better job than the other two.

I didn’t know they were doing new Master Minds. Jeopardy could do worse than Brook, but I personally liked “Blossom”. She does a better job than Ken.

Personally, I’d prefer Bocephus to be the next Jeopardy host. He’d be a hoot, and a refreshing change of pace. Unfortunately, I don’t think the show’s producers would agree.

I like Ken Jennings as host. There is nothing controversial about him (on the show) at all. I also really like Mayim Bialik.

I've never been a regular viewer of Jeopardy but on the occasions that I've watched it I've thoroughly enjoyed it.It's taught me,among other things,that I'm fairly well informed on some subjects and abysmally *un* informed on others.

But IMO Alex Trebek was so outstanding that I cannot imagine *anyone* else even coming close to filling his shoes. Therefore it's unlikely that I'll be tuning in in the future.

I nominate Joe Biden. After all, he claims to have the highest IQ of anyone in the room!

And heck, he can punch out any rowdy participants with those fists!

I don’t care if a host is a lefty as long as they don’t bring their politics into the show.

I’m troubled. (sarc) Jeopardy isn’t woke enough. Why are there not more non-white people on that show?

And why is it that Family Feud seems the be the only show with a non-white host.

Think about that one.

What happened to Amodio? He just took a big dump on his last day.

They screwed up the headline. Should be:

Ken Jennings (Round II). Who Wants to Be the Next ‘Jeopardy!’ Host?

It’s like when Sean Connery stepped down as James Bond. Or anyone playing Perry Mason that’s not Raymond Burr. Sure the replacements may do a reasonably good job, but these two men were the faces of their characters. Same with Alex.
