NO to Dr. Oz, Ken Jennings, Katie Couric, Savannah Guthrie or Anderson Cooper...all ruinous to Jeopardy!


I think so far Ken Jennings is the best. Yes to Ken! Oh, and I'm am anxious to see Aaron Rodgers. Don't know or care what his political views are!


@proudlyfromNJ   Do not know who Aaron Rodgers is, and what does political views have to do with it?

So far, I think they have all done a good job.  Each has pluses and minuses.  I don't think any so far is unwatchable for the long haul. I guess Oz is my least favorite but he is doing ok as far as I'm concerned.  


So far, Ken Jennings has been my least favorite. I heard a suggestion somewhere that Mike Rowe might be a good host, and I would like to see him give it a try.


He might be too busy with his new show on Discovery+ channel, "Six Degrees with Mike Rowe".


@deepwaterdotter  Like the idea of Mike Rowe, he has a great personality and sense of humor!

Dr Oz is very dry for sure. I liked the 2nd guy, one of the producers I think. Katie Curic was good too I thought.

Katie Couric was fabulous!  So was Ken Jennings.  Dr Oz was fine.  I look forward to Savannah.  It's only a silly, entertaining game show.


@Johnnyeager- I've never seen Jeopardy as a silly game show. There are many others to choose from, but Jeopardy has always been at the top of intelligent and interesting shows, hosted by the very best!

Burton is too old and in no time they would have to do another search for a replacement.


@occasionalrain- that sounds so funny. Last time I saw LeVar Burton he was a teenager on Roots, and now he's too old.

 

Boy I must be really getting old!

It's even worse remembering a child's birth as a couple of years ago only to receive a graduation announcement in the mail.

@Bridgegal, back in the olden days the contestants sat.

 

No matter who eventually is named host, there will be a segment of viewers, and non-viewers, that will disagree with the choice.

 

Did anyone bat an eye when Alex replaced Art Fleming? I know I didn't. I watch for the game, not the host.

@Love my grandkids I have been disappointed in the hosts since Alex passed.  Those are some big shoes to fill and I can not think of anyone that will suffice.

Just another phoney spinoff from the Oprah conga line.  And she's the worst of them all.  I haven't watched Jeopardy since Alec has been gone.  No one can fill his shoes.


I don't agree with you at all about Oprah  , but that was too funny about the Conga line. I understand your feelings though , Dr Phil  and Dr Oz.
