Digging the interim Jeopardy host

[Anonymous]

I'm not a fan of the new guy, smarmy is correct.

I'm also not a fan of Ken Jennings.


I'm hoping Levar Burton gets the chance I think he'd be perfect!

Producer guy looks like he should host The Bachelor. He’s fine, but I prefer Ken, who I actually think would know the answers without the key. Agree Alex was awkward and often curt and Ken seem so less so. Really want to see LeVar.

TMZ put something out a couple days ago saying how this guy “crushed it”. I watched last night—what’s the big deal?
I think the praise is more rooted in hate for Ken Jennings, but why?
I thought Ken did a fine job. I LOVE the idea of Ken being the next host. How cool would that be? How many games shows have that sort of history and lineage to be able to say they have the greatest player ever as the next host???

His exec producer is a nobody. Give me the all time best player.

Ken has offended the disability community more than once, without apologies. He simply doesn't care if he has offended or marginalized people and that is not ok. Those issues aside, he's simply not a good host and doesn't really connect with the contestants.

I haven’t heard anything at all about this. Could you please elaborate?

PP again. I just googled and am now definitely not team Ken. He seems to be a MAGA hater and just have a cruel sense of humor. Kind of surprised he was chosen, given his previous tweets. Also, he looks exactly like a Keebler elf, which is problematic for me.

LEVAR. As soon as I heard that as a possibikity , I was like YES. Smart, likeable, great voice, easy demeanor, good sense of humor without trying to be edgy. We all need more Levar in our life.

LeVar Burton is my top choice. I’d love it even more if the producers could have him recommend a book every so often.

Ken is awful and made me not want to watch.

Ken’s voice is awful for hosting and, although he is smart, his presence lacks a certain gravitas that is needed for Jeopardy. It’s what made Alex great. This producer is closer, but not quite it either.

Ken was supposed to continue hosting for a while longer. This guy said it on his first day. But Ken had to leave b/c he was already committed to that other (terrible) show he is doing.
