Another BORING Jeopardy guest host

[La lamy]

Another BORING guest host for Jeopardy. Yikes. Aaron Rodgers is putting me to sleep. Another 2 weeks of avoiding the show. :(

[Stu from NYC]

Give him a bit more time he might grow into the role

[La lamy]

But I'll be asleep if that happens Stu.

[oldtimes]

I think he is very professional and keeps the focus on the game and not himself.

[dtennent]

Is this a strategy by the producers to make Ken Jennings look good?

[JSR22]

I think he is very professional and keeps the focus on the game and not himself.

I totally agree. IMO he is doing a very good job. I definitely prefer him over Ken.

[Tmarkwald]

wouldn't it be WONDERFUL if the 'reincarnation thing' was true?

Alex back at the lecturn as....________________ fill in the blank...

Truthfully we haven't watched since our Alex's last show.

I think he is very professional and keeps the focus on the game and not himself.

I agree. They all have done that and I am glad. I was afraid they would get someone who tried to do stand up comedy. That show the WAY it was always run is what I am hoping for.

I am not a big football fan and didn't know who it was until husband told me. He certainly is handsome. Aaron Rodgers.

[Garywt]

I don’t watch the show but I am sure Alex was not what he became his first week of the show.

[IRISHGIRL3US]

I agree, boring! So far Dr. Ozz was the best one. No one will replace Alex. It's the voice, body language...

[Taltarzac725]

I enjoyed the first day of Aaron Rodgers on Jeopardy. Missed the 2nd one as I needed to do stuff last night.

[racedaygal]

His voice is so monotonous that it puts me to sleep. Definitely prefer Ken Jennings. But I think the Executive Producer did a great job as well.

Trebek would probably pick the Executive Producer as he makes the contestants the center of attention.

Aaron Rogers does have a monotonous voice, hoping he will do better but second night not much better than the first.

[Bjeanj]

What is it you’re looking for?

[JC and John]

The Executive Producer did the best job thus far.

[La lamy]

Completely agree.

[Northwoods]

Well you are all wrong. Aaron is the best so far (OK... yes... I am a Packer fan).

But let me just say... this is a football player that can articulate the questions and maybe even understand the questions and answers. How many "big-time" professional football players can do that?

I can't see him giving up his big salary to host Jeopardy or even give up his personal time when not playing football to do this. But I think he is a positive example of the NFL.

[Mardarlowe]

Now you know how Danica felt

[Dahabs]

His voice is so monotonous that it puts me to sleep. Definitely prefer Ken Jennings. But I think the Executive Producer did a great job as well.

I think the Executive Producer was the best so far. Was relaxed and moved the show along. Found Ken Jennings a little stiff and repetitive in approach.

[Eg_cruz]

Is this a strategy by the producers to make Ken Jennings look good?
Or the producer Mike Richards was very good as well
I just read that Anderson Cooper was on the list.....that’s a big fat not watching that week

[jojo]

I vote for the executive producer.

[rjgnj321]

Another BORING guest host for Jeopardy. Yikes. Aaron Rodgers is putting me to sleep. Another 2 weeks of avoiding the show. :(
Agree zzzzzzz

[JanetMM]

I am waiting for LeVar Burton. ‘Nuff said.

[mydavid]

Is this a strategy by the producers to make Ken Jennings look good? I like Aaron Rogers, great quarter back, So far I think the show's producer was the best.:coolsmiley:

[4557Spahr]

Executive producer was by far the best. He should be because he knows the processes of the game and the expectations.

[Haole boy]

Or Steve Harvey

[Dr Winston O Boogie jr]

I haven't been watching but I've read several opinions and they have al been that he's doing a great job.
When and on what channel is Jeopardy on? I may have to start watching.

[Tmarkwald]

hmmm, would Cheech and Chong be appropriate?

[vmloya]

Yes, the Executive Producer, Mike Richardson, I think is his name, was the best guest host. He's so much like Alex in his hand gestures, smile, and body movements!

[xcaligirl]

I watch the show more for the contestants than the host.

[BillyJ]

Ken was good, but I think the executive producer was the best.

[clwahlstrom]

Another BORING guest host for Jeopardy. Yikes. Aaron Rodgers is putting me to sleep. Another 2 weeks of avoiding the show. :(

I absolutely agree. Of all the people out there, why in the world did they pick him?

[2BNTV]

When you have the best, (Alex Trebek), the rest are always going to be downhill.

I just hope they pick someone who can do a reasonably credible job.

So far all of of them have been good with Mike Richards leading the pack, (no pun intended for Aaron Rodgers). :smiley:

To me, it's all about the questions. IMHO

[Stu from NYC]

I absolutely agree. Of all the people out there, why in the world did they pick him?

They started going downhill after Mike and looking at the ones coming up the trend will continue

[CFrance]

They started going downhill after Mike and looking at the ones coming up the trend will continue
Maybe that's the plan. After it's all said and done, they hope we'll be happy to have Mike back.

I enjoy watching Aaron Rogers on the football field and in the State Farm commercials. But he always plays the "dry" character on SF ads. I think it comes across better on a commercial than on a show like Jeopardy.

[brunogal]

NOOOOO! But he's so hot!! Just mute the TV and feast your eyes!!

[CFrance]

True dat. Oops, wrong quarterback. But AR is a treat to look at.

[graciegirl]

I think you are right.

[Vernon Hud]

One thing I like about the guest hosts is, they all get the questions answered. That is one thing that bugged me about Alex, he left to many questions unanswered, he talked way to much about nothing.

[doodles]

I agree, Mike Richards the Exec producer has been the best

[westernrider75]

I completely agree, he is the worst yet.

[Aces4]

True dat. Oops, wrong quarterback. But AR is a treat to look at.

IMHO, AR is a dour, older man. Now Brett Farve is a different story, what a treat it was to listen to him and watch him play. Ah, the good ole days...

[Crazyladycruz]

You must be a Bears fan🤣🤣🤣

[jfkilduff]

Welcome on folks he is the best so far!!!!!

[Northwoods]

I absolutely agree. Of all the people out there, why in the world did they pick him?

Why would they pick him? Because he won "celebrity" jeopardy. He's a football player that was smart enough to win against then-astronaut Mark Kelly (currently a U.S. senator from Arizona) and “Shark Tank” panelist Kevin O’Leary. So let that sink in. Aaron Rodgers... a football player... won against an astronaut.
That would be why he has won the opportunity to host Jeopardy.

Kevin O'leary would have been a very interesting host.

[JoMar]

I still don't understand why people watch jeopardy which is a great game and then stop watching because of the host who has very little to do with the talent of the contestants. Are we so enthralled with celebrity that the actual game is secondary?

[Boomer]

I saw the show only once this past week

I did not know who this guy was.

I thought he was talking in a sort of Matthew McConaughey way.

I also thought he was quite handsome — OK, I’ll just say it — I thought he was sexy.

He might be too sexy for the show. . .I think there is a song about that. . .something like, I’m too sexy for my shirt, too sexy for the show. . .

Could he be too distracting?

Lol, you might be right. But unless they can tape a year's worth of shows before "two-a-days" start this summer, he will belong to the Packers and be unavailable.

[Art cov]

No worries about that, as we have seen players play 2 sports which is much harder to do. Game show could work the schedule with ease if it’s a great fit and good for ratings They already have that figured out or they wouldn’t waste their time. Game shows usually tape several shows in a day anyways

If the host is very annoying with a voice that sounds like nails on a chalk board like Katie Couric it becomes too distracting to watch. The host sets the tone for the game.

You could be right. I know that Wheel of Fortune only tapes two days per month. Still, I wonder if the NFL would be up for AR missing anything at all. I assumed the players taped the commercials during the off season.


I like him. I think his humor will come out, he'd become more at ease, and he certainly is easy to look at.

Really? Katie Couric has been on TV news forever, earned awards, has been on all the networks. Evidently her voice may only effect either a minority or those that don't like her politics. Trebek always said it's about the game and the contestants and not about the host. Was he wrong?

I think the NFL could use some positive PR.

Yes. Judging by the millions of posts on the Jeopardy FB page I’d say he was very wrong. I care nothing about Katie’s politics I did not like watching her.

She added nothing to the show, at least some of them are funny.

[Northwoods]

Or really easy on the eyes... like Aaron

[Inexes@aol.com]

Was totally sold on Mike Richards when He was the host. Do not care for Ken.... his personality and his voice were not to my liking. Wasn't too much into Aron at first, but as he progressed, his voice was a little monotone initially, but that improved quickly. He became better with each show and was quite pleasant I thought. At this point it is a toss-up between Mike and Aron. With Aron probably creeping ahead at this point. I have seen articles that claim that Aron really wants the position and already has it figured out how he can manage both.

Aaron's probably looking ahead to retirement from football as well.


I'm also liking Anderson Cooper.

[Stu from NYC]

hmmm, would Cheech and Chong be appropriate?

I would be ok with Cheech but that Chong guy dont know about him.

[stan the man]

Oh thnk stu for joining the conversation you always add something special

[oldtimes]

Not boring tonight. Buzzy Cohen is amazing and makes it fun to watch again.

We also thought he did a good job. The contestant in the middle is a very smart young man.

That he was. The host was quite good.

[RedChariot]

Buzzy Cohen should get the job permanently!!!:a040:

[Taltarzac725]

Buzzy Cohen should get the job permanently!!!:a040:

He is hosting the Tournament of Champions and feels right at home.

[Lindsyburnsy]

Too bad Dr. Oz was pushing hydrochloroquine for COVID19. He lost all credibility when he went down that path.
