Re: Jepoardy who are the Host nominees

@VanSleepy I so agree! I couldn't keep watching if James were hosting permanently. I just never cared for him. Found him too smarmy for my taste.

Mike Rowe is a loose cannon. I dont think his persona suits Jeopardy.  Remember he used to make fun of items he was selling WHILE WORKING FOR QVC !!!


And that's what makes him so fabulous! Heart

 

Mike has bigger fish to fry.

@just bee  Bigger fish to fry?  The Jeopardy host gig must pay pretty darn well!

Mike has plenty of worthy projects to keep him busy.  I miss the days when I'd stay up late to watch him on QVC.

 

But I bet he doesn't. Heart

Re: Jepoardy who are the Host nominees

[ Edited ]

 The list that I mentioned came from  various  news articles.of proposed Hosts .

After so many yrs of watching the show , it's hard to imagine a new Host . I agree with many other posters

 

I would like to see  the Host be someone who a is:

Intelligent &  respectful to others maybe a retired Judge

does not  add a  bunch of gabby nonsense talk or giggles alot

must be non political 

fair to all contestants,

good looking would be a plus - a young Sean Connery  or even a Mr Spock

Re: Jepoardy who are the Host nominees

Former contestants Brad Rutter or Buzzy Cohen.  I also like the job Ken is doing.

 

Please, please no Katie Couric

 

I'd like to see them give Brook Burns (former hostess of the Chase and Dog Eat Dog) a chance

Re: Jepoardy who are the Host nominees

I thought I would like Ken Jennings, but I don't.  I feel that sometimes the intonation he uses to be condescending toward the contestants and partial to some. 

This goes to prove that although one can speak a language, it doesn't mean that they can teach that language.  

I would hope that whomever is chosen is not only intelligent but compassionate as Alex was.

Re: Jepoardy who are the Host nominees

Alex could be very condescending at times!

 

I'm really liking Ken Jennings a lot - I hope he's the permanent host.  I think he's perfect for the job.
