No one ever thought it would be easy to replace Alex Trebek. The beloved host of "Jeopardy!", who died in November 2020 from pancreatic cancer, left the game show without a leader for the first time in decades.
After his passing, "Jeopardy!" producers brought on a series of guest hosts to take the reins of the game, including Aaron Rodgers, Katie Couric, Dr. Oz, LeVar Burton, and more. Two of those guest hosts were Ken Jennings and Mayim Bialik, and you may be seeing a lot more of them over the course of the next year.
If you've been out of the loop on the "Jeopardy!" succession process, you can catch up now, because "Jeopardy!" just announced who will host the show in 2022.

What are your thoughts on Jeopardy!'s new host?

@cosmetiquequeen5371 2 жыл бұрын

Mayim Bialik should be disqualified on account of her history of anti-vaccine statements, endorsement of non-clinically-tested brain supplements (whose manufacturer is in legal trouble for false advertising), financial support of the Israeli military despite being an American citizen, entertaining the discussion of C-section births being against "survival of the fittest" and apology of Weinstein and Weinstein-esque abusers as provoked by women who dress provocatively? Surely that's not the best ambassador of knowledge, around which this job should be primarily centered. That leaves Ken Jennings as the best option by default.

@@cosmetiquequeen5371. You are absolutely correct. In addition, she just doesn't fit anyway. She keeps making these strange gyrations with her head and shoulders when she speaks, it distracts me to no end. Today's episode 21/10/21 she laughed (more like cackled) at the end like a little school girl, nickpicking l know, but she just annoys me so much. I saw the final clip here on KZfaq before Jeopardy aired and just couldn't bear to watch the show, so l skipped it. Poised and graceful she is not.

Stop making a production out of Alex's absence . Although I'm sure he would be grateful to know how much he's missed, Alex was an intelligent man . I saw an interview with him shortly before his passing. He made clear of his appreciation of the masses of fans,but said when its time for a change people will adapt and learn to love a new host.This constant musical chair approach is taxing and costing Jeopardy intelligent, loyal fans of the show. Either pick one or cancel the show if we can't be adults about the situation

TBH I don't think the time-splitting will work in the longrun. Bialik is an actual working actress, so unless Jeopardy is giving her a full time gig she isn't quitting her day job for this and that's going to cause scheduling conflicts down the line. I think she does the best job at it, but if it's time splitting vs Jennings I'll settle for Jennings.
