Re: My prediction on Jeopardy host

I have liked having the different hosts.   It will,take me a few years to settle in with whoever is the non-Alex.

Re: My prediction on Jeopardy host

I think having rotating hosts would give the show the feeling of being perpetually in transition.  No stability.

Re: My prediction on Jeopardy host

@Kachina624 - Yes, I agree. They need to pick a permanent host and have the transition completed.

 

So far, I have liked Ken Jennings, Buzzy (had no idea who he was) - he kept the game moving right along and seemed confortable with the camera.

 

Who is Mike Richards? I guess I missed a few shows when my grands were visiting. I second no Burton - this would not be a good fit.

 

Also, wasn't crazy about Aaron -

Agreed! I honestly didn't care for them. They tried too hard, and you can see that most of them didn't feel comfortable in that position.

Re: My prediction on Jeopardy host

The majority of the guests hosts, most of whom were journalists with well established careers, were obviously not auditioning for the job. 

 

I am sure the position will go to one of those with close ties to the show.

Re: My prediction on Jeopardy host

@Johnnyeager , I agree with you. The journalists were surely not auditioning for the job. I think the producers just needed to try and keep up their ratings while they were in transition to find a permanent host. Sadly, my TV station here ran the Olympics every night so I missed Levar totally. I'm thinking of all that I've watched...and I've not watched them all...I liked Buzzy best, and I didn't care for him as a contestant! Go figure! It would be interesting to know if Alex had someone in mind before he passed.

He is also the executive producer of Wheel of Fortune.
