I like Mike Richards the most so far. He makes the contestants the focus. And his birthday is July 5 which is kind of like karma smiling on him.

My vote would be for Aaron Rodgers.
He might show up and maybe not.
Or he might decide to host another show.

My vote goes to the gal whose name I can't spell or pronounce. With her you get a host who is smarter than 99% of the contestants, and she seems to have a good time with it. But Jennings has to be the favorite.

Or he might decide to host another show. I like the Pack and Aaron, but I can't figure out what's going on. Maybe he thinks being a game show host is in the bag for him....

Yes. Mayim Bialik is my choice also.

Never heard of her before but she is engaging and smart and seems at ease. Just don't know about having a female host vs. male host. Women seem to have taken over TV anchoring in the past several years.

I think Mayim plays Amy on Big Bang Theory tv sitcom. I also believe she is a real neuroscientist, author and director. I thought she was sweet and entertaining.

She was on the show but it ended a year or so ago.

Mayim is a real neuroscientist and one very smart lady.

I like Ken Jennings, the Jeopardy producer or Mayim Bialik. Sanjay was also great with his infectious smile, but can't see him taking the job.

I am a long time Packer fan; however, with all this crap from Rogers, he sure is loosing his fan base quickly!

What they need is someone with a good voice and a pleasant, almost boring, personality which you can stand day after day. Art Fleming and Alex Trebek were good, but they did not pass a test to obtain the job. All they do is read the script, move the show along, be pleasant during the "interview"; and, during those rare moments of spontaneity which they can edit when necessary. Vana White did not have to win a spelling bee or a pointing contest to obtain her position. Grouch Marks was great on his show but would be terrible on Jeopardy.
I wish I could find some reruns of the early days with Fleming just to compare the questions they asked then with now.
It is nice to be retired and have such complicated problems to solve.

I believe LeVar Burton, originally on “Reading Rainbow”, has signed a contract to be the new Jeopardy host. No one could ever replace Alex Trebeck but Burton would be a great choice as permanent host. I could be mistaken but that is what I understood.

I agree that Mayim Bialik did the best job thus far.

How can they give it to him without seeing how his ratings run?
