Re: Ken Jennings as Jeopardy! Host

I think if they if they dive into those ratings deeper they find Anderson would be the only one with a high negative rating, at least so far (well, maybe Dr Oz too). I wonder if part of Jennings higher rating was just general curiosity by viewers to see how Jeopardy "without Alex" would be regardle...

Re: Ken Jennings as Jeopardy! Host

Wow, Buzzy Cohen may just be the best of the lot, even better than Ken Jennings! That nerdy Buddy Holly look only adds to the appeal. :D Of those who followed Dr. Oz, Anderson Cooper is the only other guest host who cut the mustard...IMHO. I don’t think Anderson Cooper will warrant much considerati...

Re: Ken Jennings as Jeopardy! Host

I must say, Bill Whitaker is doing a splendid job. He's my new favorite of the guest hosts I've seen so far. Agree! Bill Whitaker is very good. I still lean towards Mike Richards as my favorite, and think Ken Jennings was acceptable. But Whitaker is excellent! Definitely in my personal top 3 so far.

Re: Lynne Woodison

I could be wrong, but I think Lynne worked one whole day on Drew and Zip (before it became Drew and Mike Show) at WRIF. Drew was reminiscing one day on his podcast about whomever it was, and how that person did not care at all for being on the show. Of course, Drew had some very humorous musings abo...

Re: ESPN / NHL Reach A Deal

Turner Sports will be getting the NHL’s secondary rights. It looks like the NHL will be going from $200M per year in TV rights revenue to $625M. https://nypost.com/2021/04/26/tnts-power-play-for-nhls-tv-rights-has-big-ramifications/ Turner is turning into quite the sports entity, with rights to NHL,...

Re: Ken Jennings as Jeopardy! Host

Personally, I’ve grown tired of the guest hosts. Not sure why, but Jeopardy, which has always been automatic viewing at the end of a tiring workday for me, is slowly starting to lose my interest.

Re: Ken Jennings as Jeopardy! Host

After Anderson Cooper, Bill Whitaker, Savannah Guthrie, Mayim Bialik, Dr. Sanjay Gupta and Joe Buck will take their own turns. Assuming each host does two weeks, as has been the case with everyone other than Ken Jennings, that should fill the schedule up through mid-July. Jeopardy has traditionally ...

Re: NBC Thursdays

I love Superstore, but even though it had good ratings, for the life of me I could never find another actual person that watched the show.

I thought the finale was very well done, and a great ending to the show.

Re: Ken Jennings as Jeopardy! Host

I saw just a bit of Couric and just couldn't stand it. If she was the permanent host I would probably never see the show again. I'm not sure who's on this week. Speaking of Drew Carey... WTF is up with that "David Letterman" beard look??? TERRIBLE!! I thought Couric was really bad. She’s a perfectl...

(Interestingly, WJR also reacted to McCarthy's death with another significant hiring—Mitch Albom. In October 1995, he was hired for the 4-6 p.m. slot, starting in January 1996) Don’t forget about Ken Calvert joining WJR around that same time. Late mornings. I do believe. Thanks.

Re: ESPN / NHL Reach A Deal

Wow - NBCSN is screwed! They can kiss what little audience they have good bye. It’s not really that impactful to NBCSN, since they had already announced a month ago that they were ceasing operations this year. If NBC had held onto NHL rights, the games would have been shifting to the USA Network. h...

Re: Alice 106.7

They had a Sunday morning show, “Alice’s Restaurant”, which competed with WCSX’s “Sunday Mornings Over Easy” program. I enjoyed that. Well, I enjoyed both programs.
