[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ken Jennings was and is the obvious heir apparent, but this sleazy producer/exec sandbagged him to steal it for himself. What a POS. Give it to safe and clean cut Ken.[/quote]

Boring* was the wrong and cruel word. Ken is the SAFE pick. He's got a solid personality. He's perfect for the gig.[/quote]

Exactly.  Why don't the decision makers see this?  Maybe they will now, after going through this embarassment.

I also thought Ken just did a darn good job in terms of pacing and patter. Love Levar, but he wasn't as strong on that front. Aaron Rodgers was strikingly good, too, in the "mechanics."[/quote]

Levar actually only got *one* day.  Seeing how much Rodgers improved in his second week I really feel like people aren't getting how little of a chance Burton was given.[/quote]

I am pretty sure he got one week.  But being that many guest hosts got two weeks and got better as they got used to hosting, a second week would have been good.[/quote]

One week [b]is [/b]one day.  Each week of episodes is filmed in a day.  And then some of his episodes were preempted by the Olympics when they were supposed to air, so he was screwed coming and going.  If we had to judge each host by just their first day/week he would not have stood out as bad - he was fine and could have been great given some time to find his feet.[/quote]
