@Janey2 I had stated in a previous post that not every guest host wants the job of hosting jeopardy. They are simply filling in as a guest host. The only two that I had read that actually want the hosting gig is Ken Jennings and Aaron Rodgers. I haven't read where any of the others want it permanently.

@Mindy D That's Bill Whittaker from 60 Minutes. Funny - but I'm not fond of him on Jeopardy... I don't know why Anderson Cooper rated lowest... I really liked him.... I don't think he was the best, but I certainly wouldn't call him the worst, so far.... I also liked Ken Jennings, but Bill Whittaker, so far, has no personality for this show.... He's a news reporter and great on 60 Minutes..... JMO

Wow, I find that surprising. I thought AC was quite good.

Ken Jennings was Trebek's pick, so I sort of feel like he might get the job. Anyone but Cooper and Couric! My humble opinion. I am a Jeopardy fan of 29 years. I doubt if I have missed 5 episodes in the 29 years! Miss Alex!!
@123SuzyQ123 .... I could swear that I heard/read that Ken Jennings got the job(?)

I could barely get thru two shows with Couric and stopped watching totally. I taped them all though.
Curiosity got me and we watched Aaron Rodgers and I actually liked him.
I liked Richards the most, then Rodgers. If Jennings got the job, I'd watch, but he's so b-o-r-i-n-g.
No one else though. DH wouldn't care, he can always find something else on TV to watch. lol

I would like to see a Ben Bailey (Cash Cab) have an opportunity to host.

I think Jennings did the best out of all the guest hosts so far. Whitaker was ok but didn't make me want to watch the show.

THey will try out others in the future. I'm waiting for Buzzy Fowler as I suspect he will be the best. He's a former champion.

Aaron Rodgers - hope he gets the job!
