I agree
The producer would be a great choice

[Topspinmo]

I could live with him or Ken? We see where the rating goes with rest of them?

[Bertram00]

I disagree about the job Mike Richards did. I found his delivery very stilted and his attempts at being entertaining very strained and awkward. Ken Jennings did very much better but we'll see how the other guest hosts are able to do. I personally don't expect much from Aaron Rodgers, but maybe he will surprise me.

'Jeopardy' producer on guest hosts and who will replace Alex Trebek

Yes, but last night Mike Richards said he was having to fill in because Covid interfered with some of the guest hosts coming on the show.


So who knows what's going on!

Did not watch one episode since Ken J left. AND if Jeopardy execs choose a new replacement host from the list I have seen (most with "tendencies toward a particular Party") Jeopardy is dead to us. Although Alex was probably a "Hollywood/CA type" it didn't seem to spill into his hosting duties. He was great, and sorely missed. IMO we see enough of this stuff instilled into TV. Yes, the off switch would be utilized...

I really don’t care who hosting, though I like ken and so far Richard. I watch for the answers and don’t really make difference to me who’s hosting or contestants

Totally agree. I don't care what host's political beliefs are.Just does not matter.

for me, it DOES if it SHOWS in doing the job. I agree it SHOULD NOT matter - but some celebs/hosts DO allow it to slip and be outspoken. Alex DID NOT.

Easy. If you do not like the host do not watch the show. I was looking forward to see how Anderson Cooper would do.

Thanks for the research, I did not know who they were. They have a great line up of quest hosts. Last night the producer did a great job. Holding down the fort as good as he can.

Ken J has only been gone for one episode. Everyone has a tendency toward a particular party, but you don't see it. Pat Sajak, What's-his-name on the Price is Right. I will just wait and see.

I did like Ken Jennings but did not realize we were getting a vote on this.

Keith Ellison - a legal scholar ? More like a radical Leftist - who has no earthly idea what the Constitution means, whatsoever. Attorney General ? God bless.

[Red Rose]

I think Katie Couric should be dropped from the list due to her caustic comments about people needing to be re programmed.

[tbrock555]

Every celebrity name on that list will be controversial, whether right or wrong, or left, they will be controversial, and worried they would inject themselves more into the game than need be. The producer has done a fine job, nobody knowing who he is, was, is probably a good thing. Also Ken Jennings did a good job. Switching hosts constantly is probably not a good idea, having one steady host probably is. Not sure how producing duties and hosting duties would work together but him or Jennings should just be named host and move on with the show. It is about the game, not about the celebrity host. What is my two cents.
