New Jeopardy Host

I don't know if this subject has been talked about, but I read somewhere that Buzzy Cohen will be the new host of Jeopardy. While I've enjoyed Ken Jennings, I'd be so happy with that decision. What about you?

When was the definitive announcement of this change made? This is the first I'm hearing of this. Mr. Cohen would do a fine job as host.

There has been no announcement from Jeopardy.

Buzzy would be fine, if he is indeed the chosen one.

At the moment, I'm down on Jeopardy for not capping the number of appearances by a contestant. They used to do that, but removed the restriction at some point.

That's someone's hope or a rumor but they haven't made an announcement yet.

This news of an opening has renewed the hopes of LeVar Burton fans.

I like Ken but if not him then as long as it's not Mayim. She drives me crazy lol. Also was not a fan of Burton.

Buzzy is my all time favorite but there has been NO OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT from Jeopardy. NONE.

For the most part, I really do not care who hosts nearly as much as I care about what the categories and questions are.

I like Mayim, if they replace her I'm done.

Did they not watch his guest hosting?

@millieshops I so agree with you on this. I like Ken, Mayim & Buzzy & think all of them have done a good job mostly but when the show become more about the host & less about the questions/answers & the contestants I feel that isn't what the show is supposed to be.

I hope Mayim is not the permanent host, especially in light of the controversies involving her in the last few weeks.

There was an answer she accepted that she should not have and one that should have been taken as correct that was not. Both incidents affected the outcome of the game. She waits too long to advise contestants if their answer was correct or not.

Ken would be fine but I was Team Buzzy when all the hosts were auditioning.

As much as I like LeVar Burton, he was a train wreck when hosting.

I havent watched Jeopardy since it became a one person contest....watching one contestant answer all the questions isnt exciting or fun....the spirit of the game was ruined.....I now watch Judge Judy instead!......

But I will say this....when I did watch and they paraded a plethora of wanna be Jeopardy host---Buzzy was a favorite....so I hope he gets the job....Unless Jeopardy changes things I still wont be watching, I prefer the challenges on the Game Show Network when there's several contestants competing against one another......Like Master Minds, The Chase, and People Puzzler....

I agree. I've read an E! article that said he feels overlooked. I think he's fooling himself.

@deepwaterdotter

I dont know, they haven't said---I wish they would....the Game Show Network brought back Cash Cab...it took awhile...so we can hope...but maybe when Ken took the Jeopardy job that killed the show...I know they had new people as the Master Minds to fill in...maybe the ratings werent as good and there will only be reruns....😕
