It's such a shame how this show fell apart without Alex.

Thanks for sharing. It'll be nice to have more regularity/stability with the hosting and I'll be curious about the ratings.

I didn't watch Jeopardy on a regular basis but I'm wondering -- is the host the most important factor or the game itself???

he was the show

should have just let it go

Cool!    I'll watch that.   Right now the only reason I'm watching is Matt, but I've watched the show here and there over the decades.

During my forty-year work life, I served on several search committees, even chaired a couple. It was my experience that a job was posted in relevant places, required backgrounds and experience were listed, and qualified candidates were interviewed. I imagine that when performance standards exist, videos and in-person auditions would be mandatory. This is not rocket science. Detailed vetting is part of the process. This is common sense, usual practice.

The powers-that-be at Jeopardy blew it big-time. Maybe they thought they'd garner more attention by creating an on-air competition. For those of us who've watched Jeopardy for decades, we know that this carnival was the exact opposite of what the game and Alex Trebek represented. Alex treated Jeopardy with seriousness, devotion, and respect, not a circus of revolving ringmasters. The only reason I'm watching now is that brilliant champion who continues to win a fortune. Why can't these dufuses-in-charge pick one host and be done with it?

Say it isn't so: KEN JENNINGS ???    NO NO NO!

[riley1]

I'd rather Ken Jennings than some of the other guest hosts they had.
