I've been impressed by the guest hosts. It proves to me that Trebek was nothing special. The guest hosts have been at least as good and seem very intelligent when they have the answers in front of them. I'm sure most of them are anyway - I KNOW Ken Jennings is. He proved it over many weeks.
So true!!! But Cooper is 2 times Jeopardy champion (and I like that he has enough humility to say he also lost twice). I have no doubt he and Ken Jennings are the real deal, not just people who can read. They also have good humor and varied intonation which I appreciate.
