Digging the interim Jeopardy host

How corrupt is it that the executive producer, with a history of sexism, engineered his own hire? Unbelievable.

I hate the choices even though I admit Bialik was fairly good. Producer Mike was awful. I know a lot of idiots fall for that oily, faux-anxious, obsessively groomed charm so it’s not surprising, just as the revelation that he’s a dumb little skeeze was also unsurprising. Booooo all around.

Couldn't agree more.

Jennings knows too many people in the trivia world. I only made it as high as the trivia equivalent of the low minors or D3 ball and even my application as a contestant would be a nightmare. (So do you want the entire list of people I know or just the first 25?)

Still seems like this was all a sham.

I don’t understand?

NP. Bias could theoretically affect treatment of players though it seems to me there are enough built-in protective mechanisms for that. I haven't really watched in a long time, but the host doesn't have much power to support particular players, right?

And she's now issued a statement saying she'd not anti-vax while stating her children might not have the same vaccinations as ours.

Corrupt? He was one of the only candidates with game show hosting experience. And it was the higher-ups at Sony who made the decision. I can see why they selected him, given how he handled the guest hosting well, and he had already been with the show.

Sure the little boys club hiring one of their own. Shocking.

Sorry he's a white male, but he was professional, competent and had good pacing and command of the game. Experience wins.

He was the worst of the bunch of guest hosts and came across as sleazy even not knowing his background. I groaned at the news and have watched every night for years.

Dr. Oz was hands-down the worst guest host. Aaron Rodgers and Bill Whittaker weren't great either. Richards was capable, and obviously there is more to the job than what TV viewers see.

Did you even see LeVar Burton? Apparently not.
