Mike Richards who was the show's executive producer, and certainly a fave frontrunner, has been named the next host of Jeopardy. But since there was a huge fan backlash that supposedly turned nasty, the show has also named Mayim Bialik (Big Bang Theory actress), who will also share some of the hosting duties such as College Championships. CONGRATS to them. I'm so pleased, are you?

They selected my favorite 2. Very happy that Ken will not be the host.

Was hoping for Ken Jennings but Mike Richards did well as sub host.

I think it was a mistake to leave the permanent position open for 8 months. No one is irreplaceable.

Whoa, I even forgot about Ken!!! I wanted him to host when Alex passed, but I'm very happy with the 2 choices they made.

They made two great picks. These were the best of the candidates IMHO.

Never watch the show but heard in another forum that the long time winner, is that Ken and Joe Buck were selected. Must have been a joke…

Is it true if those past player guest hosts can not play again in any championship series?

Check the credits tonight Ken Jennings was on them last night. I think he is replacing Mike Richards.

He is being brought in some sort of behind-the-scenes position, not as a host.

Well I'm confused from some of your posts. I look forward to seeing what is really going to happen.

Joe Buck has the best personality of the bunch. But he probably wouldn’t leave the sport world if asked.

I thought Mike RIchards and Mayim Bialik did the best job as guest hosts, closely followed by Buzzy Cohen and Aaron Rogers. The rest of the group was far behind, so I'm very pleased with the decision.

I came to the same conclusion.

Mayim Bialik was my first choice, I also liked LeVar Burton, he was my second choice. That said, the guy they picked is fine with me.... as long as Jeopardy continues.

Of course ! Networks bring in people trying to accommodate liberals and conservatives and that’s exactly what they’re doing ! Should have been Ken Jennings !

Better choices to be had.. but at least we will not have the YELLING JOE BUCK again....who thinks he is commentating on an NFL game all the time with each question.
Last weeks Finance guy ( name not known) was good, spoke well, did not shout, and was a very capable and personable host. Suppose the "good ones" all have better jobs !!!! Shame we miss you Alex, there must be someone out there who can take your place, but not replace you.

Very happy with both choices. There were several others who I wouldn't have minded but thankfully there will be no Katie Couric. If she had been chosen my Jeopardy days would have been over.

Like Mike Richards, Not so much Mayim Bialik. Not for any real reason, didn't watch the series she was in and not impressed with her clothing selections and personality.

Aaron Rogers was so lovely to look at. And sparkled with personality.

My favorite from the beginning was Mike Richards, followed by Aaron . Did not feel that Ken had the personality nor the speaking voice for TV hosting position. Burton flubbed his way through the whole time. But after watching last week with David Faber, CNBC announcer, my mind changed. He was, hands down, the best of them all. That said, I can live with the choices. I think Mike Richards and Mayim did a great job.

I really don’t notice the host that much, unless the talk too much.

Mayim was the worst of them all. Those pretty dresses? She had connections. Ken was the best by far. He was a show consultant for years. How much did Mayim win? She has no appeal & no personality.
