if you put on andeerson Cooper, I turn the station. if you put on Katie auric, I am gone. Savana Guthrie, also gone.....try Brooke burns. smart, can read, and as far as I know, no political nonsense from her.....but ken Jennings is doing fine, sign him and all is well.

They probably don’t have to even put the answers on the cards for him.

Ken is great. When they put on Dr Oz I will stop watching.

I agree. I emailed Jeopardy.com and expressed my happiness with Ken. He’s quick, kind, smart and humble. Not to mention he would be totally dedicated as others have had previous tv gigs. You should also email Jeopardy.com before they turn it into a host-centered carousel of stars. It’s about the game.

Default Go Ken

He was not my first choice either and I thought the first week he talked too fast, but he has settled down and is doing well. Interaction with the contestants is good, not sure if the "other guest" hosts will be able to do the same Well done Ken

Right on Mike! I'll do the same!

Default Ken is doing great!

He has grown greatly from the first few shows. He fits right in.

I too think Jen is doing a far better job than I thought he would. He would definitely make a good replacement for Alex but as has been mentioned I am not sure he wants the job on a permeant basis. Not sure the show will be the same with some of the other hosts mentioned.

agree with everyone....he's definitely grown into the job. and the job should go to someone who loves trivia as much as he.

Katie Couric is too political and should not be hosting after she said all Trump supporters should be reprogrammed. Alex never stated his political opinion. I think that’s why we liked him so much. He related to everyone. We are enjoying Ken. When Katie hosts I won’t be watching.

I think Ken Jennings is doing a fabulous job. He's the perfect replacement for Alex Trebek. Great sense of humor and since he's been on the other side of the fence, he really does understand the contestants.

He is doing better than i expected. I could live with him as a long term host, but I am anxious to see the others.

Think it’s a mistake to have all those guest hosts listed . Some may be ok but there are only 3 I would want to see. I do think Ken will be the best
