I was pulling for him but he didn't get the timing right.

The skills needed to host the show well have virtually no overlap with the skills needed to win the game.

Why has this idea even gotten as far as it has, just because the guy aspires to it?

Come on, hire a professional on-air personality.

I like Mayim Bialik and LeVar Burton. I did not care for Buzzy Cohen.

I think LeVar was far too nervous, but that would go away after a few more weeks.

It was only two days of taping for each (some only one day). I think all would improve.

I also liked Aaron Rodgers. I think he would improve too.

I think people liked the producer because they did not expect much and his bar was lower than for the others. I was surprised at how well he did, but now that I see he has had experience- it should not have been a surprise.

Maybe have the top four come back and each do 12 weeks - to get the kinks out. Then announce next year.

I can’t tell if you’re trolling or not.

Not trolling. She was a little nervous in her first episode, but had good rapport with the contestants. Also liked Buzzy.

Oh this is upsetting! This has to be known- yet they are in contract negotiations?

I REALLY wanted Levar Burton. I’m a huge PBS kid and TNG nerd, but he really didn’t do the greatest job.

Mayim Bialik was the strongest guest host they had. Buzzy was probably second strongest? Both are qualified for the job. It’s easy to believe they truly knew the answers. However, I would really enjoy seeing a woman in the role!

I liked her, but she’s not everyone’s cup of tea.

Mayim, Ken, and Buzzy had the right vibe and timing....I bet it will be one of them. Overall, I have really enjoyed the guest host run and it is clear how honored and humbled they all feel about being selected. Some better than others, but most did quite a nice job.

Mayim Bialik was the best guest host. Not even close.

Agree!
