THe Jeopardy Guest Host That Never Left

[Me.]

I thought there was supposed to be other candidates.

1. They tape 5 shows a day for 10 days

He’s going to be there a while.

[Me.]

3. Sigh

[blueinredohio]

2. Me too. I'm ready to try someone else.

[soothsayer]

4. Yeah same

5. I'm satisfied with Ken Jennings. Some of the other "guest" hosts petrify me.

Jennings provides continuity.

6. Ken's doing a great job!

He's cool, calm, collected and knows what he's doing.

[madinmaryland]

7. Absolutely. He knows the show and how it goes.

To me, he was the obvious choice and he has done a great job.

ETA: I was going to welcome you to DU, but you have been here near ten years. 🙂

11. And he's quick-witted and able

to have a repartee with the guests. He's even funny sometimes.

[MANative]

9. Completely agree!

I think he's going a really great job. I'm dreading the parade of personalities that they have lined up. Hoping they will circle back to him and make it permanent. What I like best is his clear love of the game and deep affection and respect for Alex.

13. Absolutely.

I was pleasantly surprised by his run so far.

[bdamomma]

15. Me too

I'm satisfied with Ken. The show just moves quickly.

8. It bugs me that the guest host list looks more like "Celebrity of the week", as opposed to

a genuine search for the person who would make the best next host.

I mean, c'mon - are we really expecting the producers to choose Aaron Rodgers as the host, when he would be clearly unavailable several months out of the year? I think Anderson Cooper is pretty busy throughout the year as well.

12. Good points.

I hadn't thought about it like that.

14. Aaron Rodgers will be interesting...... 💚 💛 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻

16. He's going to do the episode with TV stars. Interesting to see Wolf Blitzer on again

Might as well have Tom Brady host it.
