Rye Miles #13621 6,953 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 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. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cypress Sun 3,219 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 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. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Taquila Tab, Sass #25048 38 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 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. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 6,047 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 (edited) 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. Edited February 5 by Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 7 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Utah Bob #35998 16,510 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 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? 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DocWard 5,621 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 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. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 6,047 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 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. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
