(297,196 posts)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.
(35,454 posts)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.

(38,601 posts)Jennings too Jennings. Oz leaves me cold and is awkward and uninformative and seems to be grifting for his own charity.

(297,196 posts)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 Jeopardys First Host. Who Was Art Fleming?

(2,073 posts)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!
