‘Jeopardy!’ Fans Weigh In on Next Host

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/10/arts/television/jeopardy-next-host.html

[pilight]

Jeopardy should take a cue from LIVE with Kelly & Ryan. Try out some hosts for a week at a time and see who works best.

Ken, Neil, Laura....after that, the others might just be a move from the sublime to the ridiculous.

Trevor? Jimmy? Really??

I kinda like LeVar Burton for this. He's a big Jeopardy fan.

There are so many articles throwing out names of potential replacements. I just read one that suggested Keke Palmer, as if someone who doesn't know who Dick Cheney is would be credible as the smartest person in the room.

Does the host have to be or appear to be smart? I am old enough to remember the first Jeopardy run and that host treated it like a normal game show, which I preferred.

[StevenHW]

Onlline petition to get Levar Burton to be the next host.

Levar Burton is 63. Al Michaels is 76. lol. I'm not a bookmaker but I'll cover ANY and all bets on Al Michaels becoming the next permanent host of Jeopardy.

Ken Jennings called out for past insensitive tweets after being named interim 'Jeopardy!' host

Besides Jennings, I think they will have asked the other two contestants on "The Greatest of All Time" show. I am wondering if they are also considering some of the other contestants they brought back for the Team competition. I remember Buzzie and Austin (I think) the bartender. For some reason, the fact that he was a bartender made him stick out to me.

I wonder if these temporary hosts are being trialed for a permanent position or they are just waiting to negotiate a deal with some experienced TV host.

All 3 Jeopardy GOAT contestants are going to be the expert on The Chase.

They announced tonight that Alex Trebek's last episodes are going to be aired next week.

Jennings seems to be trying to tweet his way out of the job

Christmas week also tends to come with a lot of preemptions for holiday programming, which would lead to a lot of angry viewers yelling at their stations. This week isn't much better with the Georgia runoffs, but I don't think they could hold those episodes any longer. I have the sneaking suspicion pilight and others from our Georgia contingent might not get the Tuesday episode, at minimum.

Jeopardy did not get preempted here. They cut the last commercial break short so they could get a quick update in before NCIS.

Apparently today's nonsense is going to knock Jeopardy off the air

I am on the West Coast and they showed Jeopardy/Wheel of Fortune at 8:00pm instead of the normal 7:00pm timeslot. Who Wants to be a Millionaire was supposed to run for 3 hours in prime time and they ended up scrubbing that for Jeopardy/Wheel of Fortune and Shark Tank for the next two hours.

[Ex-Ref]

Will be interesting to see if Alex gives a goodbye statement. Like something he taped for this episode.
