I’ve just stopped watching it. These bad guest hosts have ruined it for me.

I think Anderson is doing a great job. I like Aaron the past 2 weeks. I would happy if either of the become the permanent host.

Enough is enough. Jeopardy needs to make a decision. They are beginning to look foolish.
As for Jane Pauley and Anderson Cooper, can we trust either to accurately recognize the correct answer and report it honestly?

I think not.

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.

Wow....nothing special
Not a nice or necessary statement

I think Cooper is doing a pretty good job, better than the last dude.

You and me both, regarding Alex. He sometimes talked down to contestants, also. I didn't mind him, and he was very humble about his illness. I read he was in great pain toward the end but insisted on filming as long as he could. I admire the way he handled himself. But he could get on my nerves sometimes with his lofty response when nobody knew the answer. (Unlike Aaron Rogers, who threw his hands in the air when nobody got Who are the Green Bay Packers!)



So far my favorites are the executive producer, Aaron Rogers (who was loosening up toward the end), and Anderson Cooper.


Katie Couric a definite no, Dr. Oz, meh, and not a fan of Ken Jennings.

Really!!!!!!

Prefer Ken Jennings, he at least has a personality.

Well said. I thought I was the only one that thought he was sometimes unkind when a contestant was wrong or in last place. I agree Anderson is good.

Totally agree with everything you wrote. I cringed many times with his off handed comments.

Really?

Baggage? He is a brilliant journalist and interviewer. I think he is doing well as a guest host as have all except for Doctor Oz and Katie Couric.

I always like to see all the questions answered, and seldom they were all answered when Alex was host. To much jibber jabber, and not needed comments. At least all of these guest hosts have been able to keep it moving and get all the questions and answers in. I did like the director best of all so far.
