Yes. Such an important matter.

Re: Next Jeopardy! host
I nominate TT. It keeps the show international.
They/them, non-binary and proud.
Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
Audacity sucks.

Re: Next Jeopardy! host
I'll go with Ken Jennings. He's very likable, personable, and would put the contestants at ease. My alternatives are Dan Patrick, LaVar Burton, and John O'Hurley.

Re: Next Jeopardy! host
I'm afraid I can't get the image of O'Hurley as J. Peterman out of my head. I'll also go with Ken Jennings who is so identified with the show as the GOAT. The question is (or is it "The answer is?") can he bring the on-air confidence and special panache to the game reading the clues as he did responding to them?radioandtventhusiast wrote: ↑Fri Nov 13, 2020 4:57 pmI'll go with Ken Jennings.

I think Ben Stein should be considered. He might be too old now though.
New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

Re: Next Jeopardy! host
Ken Jennings get's my vote.
LeVar Burton's air filter glasses would be a distraction.

Re: Next Jeopardy! host
Burton, Patrick and O'Hurley are all almost as old as Stein. Whoever gets the job isn't going to be someone who will only be around for another 10-15 years.radioandtventhusiast wrote: ↑Fri Nov 13, 2020 7:56 pmStein will turn 76 on the 25th, so I doubt it.
Like Sajak, Trebek was almost a kid when he started this gig. My gut is it's going to be a younger person.
Maybe Jennings. Perhaps someone even younger than him.
Re: Next Jeopardy! host
If betting odds are to be believed, Ken Jennings is the heavy favorite (50/50) with only George Stephanopoulos and Neil deGrasse Tyson as the other 2 people with better than 15:1 odds.

Re: Next Jeopardy! host
I agree it will be Ken Jennings; it's clear to even this semi-regular Jeopardy viewer that they are grooming him for the job.
Re: Next Jeopardy! host
I will say the same thing as I did about the Price Is Right. The show should have ended after Bob Barker left. Same should be for Jeopardy now that Alex Trebek is no longer with us. Those hosts were the show. The legacy of those shows should be protected.

Re: Next Jeopardy! host
I understand that you can't replace either Bob or Alex. But the show will still go on as the ratings are big, and the show makes a lot of money. Drew Carey has done a great job filling Bob's shoes and has made the show his own. I know Bob, like Alex, had a unique style that's hard to replace. I'm sure Jeopardy will search very well for picking a new host. It won't be the same without Alex, though.
