I just had the weird outside of the box idea of Dan Abrams.

And by the way - who could be smarmier than Mike Rowe.  Yep - fired from QVC for it basically.

 

And Ryan Seacrest is great but how much more can he do - not realistic.

 

Same with so many others.  

 

I love James H too - really wanted him to be the GOAT.  


Actually, Mike Rowe was fired three times from QVC, and he has written many times that it was justified. He spoke of it in a lovely tribute to Joan Rivers, which he wrote after she died. Smart, funny, good looking, with a fabulous voice- both in speaking and singing opera. Jeopardy, are you listening?

thanks to you i just read that tribute. it was wonderful. joan would have loved it.  i think mike rowe would make an excellent host......going to add him to my personal list. LOL

@sunshine45 for the Mike Rowe link.  Fantastic!  You can add me to the Rowe for Jeopardy host.  He would be a hoot.

Didn't Alex recommended Betty White? lol. I do believe that if Ken Jennings wants the job, it's his.

Wow about Mike Rowe being fired three times.  

 

I don't think we need a hoot for a host.

My two picks would have been Mayim Bialek or Neil Patrick Harris.  I think either of them are "smart" enough and have the acting experience that comes in handy for TV.  

 

From your list, I do like George @skatting44 .  


@lolakimono I hadn't even thought about Mayim Bialek, but she would be very good! She is extremely smart, and has a great sense of humor, I think she would be a great choice as well.....

Re: Jepoardy who are the Host nominees

Fun to read the list.  I like Mayim.  But, would like to see Alex's choices audition, too: Laura Coates, Alex Faust, and Ben Mankiewicz.

 

I remember when Mike Rowe hosted on QVC.  I thought he was good, but they were so strict back then.  The female hosts weren't even allowed to wear pants.  Glad he went on to  have a great career.

I dislike everything about Katie Couric and will not be able to watch if they choose her.

1000000% agree!   No political people!  Just someone nice that keeps their politics to themselves Smiley Happy


I hope they chose the person that does the best job and don't make a choice based on politics or a p.c. choice.   I am really liking Ken Jennings so far and I think he is going to be hard to beat for the spot.

Re: Jepoardy who are the Host nominees

I heard Katie Couric is out. Ken Jennings seems to be doing a great job.
