Which is fine by me. He was an uninspiring choice who got the job through his own connections. Not worthy as a successor to Trebek.

1. So it's Mayim now?

[Tommy Carcetti]

2. No, I think she's still just the special episode host.

And they'll find someone else for the regular syndicated episodes.

3. Replacing Trebek was never going to be easy, but REALLY? What a bumblef..k

[Baitball Blogger]

5. The man complained that walking around in Trebek's big shoes made him look like a clown.

4. Perhaps (as might be apropros), they should let the real Scaramucci have a run at it.

6. Will Ferrell :) (nt)

7. NOW, will they go with Levar Burton

or will they find another sexual predator/bigot/asshole?

[Ilsa]

11. LB! LB! LB!

I like Mayim for guest hosting or specials. She has her own projects taking up the bulk of her time.

15. I doubt it . He's too old .

[ChazII]

20. He was and still is my first choice as host. n/t

[Aristus]

8. "I can't be around all these woke people who are smart and read and know stuff."

Whatever he might say out loud, that's the reason...

9. God I Hope It Isn't Jennings

13. Same

10. Horrible choice.

[phylny]

12. You know who I thought did a great job?

Aaron Rodgers.

[malaise]

14. Agree

I liked Richards, Rodgers and Cooper but when I heard Richards treated co-workers badly I ditched him

[JoanofArgh]

16. Agree with this

[Me.]

18. Surprisingly I Think Buzzy Cohen Did A Great Job

[zuul]

17. Select Robin Roberts and we won't have to worry about any racist or misogynistic posts.

21. Isn't she also a survivor of breast cancer? I faintly recall her talking openly about her mastectomy

to increase awareness that life can go on after the surgery. I was impressed that she stepped up.

I was also impressed in her interview with Meryl Streep after the actress had won her Oscar for "he Iron Lady." https://video.search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?fr=yhs-mnet-001&ei=UTF-8&hsimp=yhs-001&hspart=mnet&param1=6246&param2=84501&p=youtube%3A+Robin+Roberts+interview+with+Meryl+Streep&type=type9045647-spa-6246-84501#id=1&vid=716e6757e96f5386bbc8affbfde63e9d&action=click

19. Good. I won't have to keep repeating, 'who is this guy'?

honestly, I have no idea who he is; what his previous gigs were...
