Rye Miles #13621 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Any of you been watching? Ken Jennings is doing a decent job I think, he doesn't have the personality of Alex Trebec but he does okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cypress Sun Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Lets face it, nobody can replace Alex. Ken tries to be entertaining but it's just not in his personality or makeup. Personally, I'd like to see them give Brad a try. I think he'd be funny, smart and entertaining. Whoopie Goldberg? Even the thought makes me puke.

Taquila Tab, Sass #25048 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Loved Alex, but let's not forget that prior to Jeopardy he had years of experienc as a game show host and broadcast personality. Other than being a former contestant I'm led to believe this is KJ's first foray into television hosting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I had reservations about Mr Jennings at first, but I will concede that he's not done badly at all. I may or may not watch during Whoopi's stint. But when Katie Couric comes on board I'll have to make sure there's nothing harder than a Nerf ball within reach, even if the set's turned off. Not budgeted for a TV replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 The issue I have had in the last week is the quality of the questions. I have been correctly answering far to many! Did they fire the researchers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocWard Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I heard Aaron Rodgers is supposed to guest host, so I will want to see that. Otherwise, I hope Ken gets the gig. My vote would be for Austin Rogers if he were in the running, because even when he was winning, he didn't seem to take it too seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have the book with lots of useless info. Attica Jack Jeopardy question..... What was the worst decision you made in the last 8 years? Answer, why did I leave the Caribbean and move back to Michigan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Mike Richards - producer of the show and Wheel of Fortune - is this week's host. In my occasionally humble opinion he's quite good ~ I think he's going to be hard to top. Katie Couric is up next (March 08 - 19). That's the weeks I'll be watching YouTube videos of James Good flying around in his Ercoupe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep politics off the show, she has a big mouth and should not be hosting a game show. I urge everyone to do this! It may not do any good but it can't hurt!

I feel the same way about Savannah Guthrie and she's slated to be a host too. I've written the Today show to complain about her. She's always interrupting people.
