I like him. He has a sense of humor and a connection to the show.

He fits perfectly. I didn't think anyone would. I hope they choose him to be host.

I agree, I like Ken a lot and he's doing great, smooth transition.

It's going to be difficult watching all the other guest hosts because Ken seems like such a good fit. He really did his homework and has done a great job in honoring Alex Trebek. I was surprised the guest list was so large.

This variety approach will ruin the show; Ken Jennings is doing a great job and should be the new host of this great game.

I think Ken Jennings is doing fine. I wish they had just gone with him. Not looking forward to the other guest hosts.

I like him a lot. Great delivery, intonation, humor without being condescending, and truly knowledgeable. He was my first choice as a replacement, but I'm afraid they're going to get a hollywood 'celebrity' to take over.

Unless he’s changed his mind, he said he didn’t want to be the permanent Jeopardy host. I love him and hope the convince him to stay. He shares the same demeanor that Alex Trebeck had and we really enjoy him.

I was absolutely against the idea after I heard the bad news about Alex. On his other show, Master Minds, he can be arrogant at times. However, I was so wrong about his ability to step up to this big opportunity. He has been gracious, kind, and there has been no evidence whatsoever of any trace of "I would have gotten that right" from him. I hope he gets the permanent gig.

I agree. Was concerned when he first started, now wish
they would just continue with him.
