1. Is it too much to ask to get someone who speaks truth??

The Trebek legacy is far too precious to lend to this faker even for five 30-minute episodes. PLEASE replace him!!!

[CTyankee]

2. NO,no, no,no.

3. Looks like I get a week off from jeopardy

Wont watch it with that faker on

4. Odd choice.

There has to be someone good out there. And it's not Katie Couric.. She sounded like a second grade teacher cheerleading her kids. "Good job!". "Wow, you.guys are all so smart!"

[happybird]

15. Agree

I didn’t care for Katie or Ken. The producer guy was good.

I thought Austin was going to host? That should be fun! I thoroughly enjoyed him as a contestant.

20. Austin would be a good choice. I loved watching him when he was on the show.

16. Katie Couric grew on me

I was not looking forward to her hosting at all, but she was surprisingly good, and seemed to bring a fresh attitude to the job without making it all about her. The teacher thing didn't bother me, maybe because I am a teacher (LOL) and find the attitude familiar and calming. The more I thought about it, though, it wasn't so much that she was acting like a teacher as she was acting "feminine", and we are just NOT used to seeing a woman host Jeopardy. If that is her true personality, she was just being herself as men are always allowed to do. Don't know if any of this makes sense, but I guess I felt bad about my ill feelings towards her at the beginning. Also, the rightwing hates her and was posting all kinds of hate comments on the Jeopardy twitter page.

19. Your post

Spoke for me totally. Except I’m not a teacher, but I’m married to one. 🙂

21. Good, I'm glad someone could relate

When you think about it, a teacher's personality and mannerisms are designed to make people (kids are people) comfortable and willing to try and do their best. Not a bad goal to strive for on Jeopardy or anywhere else.

25. My dad was a teacher. And I taught pre-school for four years.

I am very, very pro teacher. I just didn't like that approach to the show. She also seemed unfamiliar with the material and surprised by the answers, which really threw me off. I am not a giant Ken Jennings fan, but he seemed completely in control of the material.

Someone more along the lines of a college professor might work. Alex kind of became professorial as time went by.

We were also comparing her voice to women sportscasters and radio hosts the last few days. There are some women out there with excellent voices. Maybe they need another Canadian!

18. I liked her

5. How did they pry him out of Hannity's ass?

[Dread Pirate Roberts]

6. I'll take "What Does My Poop Look Like" for a thousand

He's always been more of a game show host than a doctor. I just wish it wasn't this game show. Jokers Wild or Card Sharks would be more his speed.

24. Big Money! No Whammies!!! n/t

[IL Dem]

7. You've GOT to be kidding me!

Damn it! Jeopardy is usually can't miss TV for me. Guess I'll have to do something else.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

8. Maybe there will be a category about medicine?

The answer, "This highly-recommended stress reducer is common during seances."

Later...

"We wanted communicating with the dead, everyone. Communicating with the dead."

10. I will boycott this week

[liberaltrucker]

11. I'll watch "Gunsmoke" on INSP for the next 2 weeks

[likesmountains 52]

12. Won't be watching this week either. yuck!

[SheilaAnn]

13. More Ripper Street for me. Yea!!! n/t

[Politicub]

14. I think he'll be the second-worst, and I do not like Dr. Oz. At all.

I couldn't stand the executive producer guy -- Mike or whatever his name was. I would place him the bottom of the guest-host list.

Katie Couric was great. Ken Jennings was good, too.

[Vinca]

22. I detest Oz, too, but I liked the producer guy better than either Ken or Katie.

Alex is a hard act to replace.

23. Guess I'm watching M*A*S*H reruns this week
