He might show up and maybe not.
Or he might decide to host another show.
I am a long time Packer fan; however, with all this crap from Rogers, he sure is loosing his fan base quickly!

What they need is someone with a good voice and a pleasant, almost boring, personality which you can stand day after day. Art Fleming and Alex Trebek were good, but they did not pass a test to obtain the job. All they do is read the script, move the show along, be pleasant during the "interview"; and, during those rare moments of spontaneity which they can edit when necessary. Vana White did not have to win a spelling bee or a pointing contest to obtain her position. Grouch Marks was great on his show but would be terrible on Jeopardy.
I wish I could find some reruns of the early days with Fleming just to compare the questions they asked then with now.
It is nice to be retired and have such complicated problems to solve.

I believe LeVar Burton, originally on “Reading Rainbow”, has signed a contract to be the new Jeopardy host. No one could ever replace Alex Trebeck but Burton would be a great choice as permanent host. I could be mistaken but that is what I understood.

I agree that Mayim Bialik did the best job thus far.

How can they give it to him without seeing how his ratings run?
