The Next Three Jeopardy Hosts

“After Dr. Oz, the next person to host “Jeopardy!” is NFL star Aaron Rodgers. The Green Bay Packers quarterback will host from April 5-16, followed by CNN anchor Anderson Cooper from April 19-30 and “60 Minutes” correspondent Bill Whitaker from May 3-14, according to the “Jeopardy!” website.”

(Sure, I'm biased since he is a Green Bay Packer, I do live in Wisconsin.)

And...

He and I share our birthdays! (December 2nd.)

Mom , Me... that is so thoughtful.

I used to watch too & in the 70s we had a home Jeopardy game with little clickers!

I don't have a TV but I might have gone back to it if I did.

I looked up Ken Jennings.. what do you think of him as a host?

And, who is the guy in the first reply's post?

Me.

I thought the producer of the show was really good, and while many might not agree I thought Katie Couric did fine. I also thought they might try Levar Burton which I thought could be interesting. My least fave is Dr. Oz followed by Jennings.

as to the guy...beats me...

Ps. I didn't know they had a Jeopardy game...would've loved the little clickers.

Jennings too Jennings. Oz leaves me cold and is awkward and uninformative and seems to be grifting for his own charity.

up Jennings he had a lot of unfavorable articles about something he said back in Nov or Dec.

I didn't click them on.

Hope you get who you want for a host.. so important obviously to have a good one.

I started watching it when Art Fleming was the host.. his time was 1964 to 1975.. probably in the 70s.

This Man Was Jeopardy’s First Host. Who Was Art Fleming?

He had a good important run.

I thought Ken Jennings did well. It was nice to see how he overcame his nerves and relaxed as time went on. I had low expectations of Dr. Oz but he's doing okay. Looking forward to Aaron Rodgers!
