Ken Jennings - 9000 Jeopardy show

Ken Jennings has totally won me over as the best host ever on Jeopardy. He  is brilliant, charming, quick witted  and handles every situation so well on Regular, Championship and Celebrity shows.  He is passionate about the contestants, the game, questions and knowledge.  

I was wrong on my original assessment when he took over.  It just took him a short bit to adjust to the job and become maybe the most proficient ever..

Eating my humble pie as I watch.

Now I never miss a show.

What a WONDERFUL post!!!💝 I concur with your glowing assessment of him accept Alex Trebek still holds my heart as being the original, and best!🥰 Thanks to Ken's exemplary hosting ability and charisma, I hope the show continues for many years to come!🤞🤞😁

@hopi   I agree completely. I was not on team Ken, but I have changed my mind.  He is certainly the best person for the job.  It is a pleasure to watch him.

I like him too, but he is third in my book.

 

1.  Alex Trebek 

2.  Art Fleming 

3.  Ken Jennings

After watching Jeopardy my whole life, I got out of the habit shortly after that season of  rotating hosts right after Alex died.  I disliked Ken as a contestant, but surprised myself that I did like him as host.

I liked him right from the start, but he’s gotten more comfortable in his role (as did Drew Carey on The Price Is Right), and has only gotten better. He has a dry sense of humor which I love.

Agree, I have become a fan of Ken too.

 

Interesting observation: Hubby and I were talking about Ken. I said "sometimes I am distracted by his lisp" He said he had never noticed at all.

Guss I'm the bad guy but I no longer watch because of Ken. Don't care for him at all.
