Honestly it kinda bothers me that Ken Jennings didn't get the job because of "past tweets". People need to learn to let stuff go. Everyone makes mistakes, it's stupid that we no longer allow people room to learn from their mistakes. This P.C. culture crap has gotten way out of hand. People will ruin the lives of other just because their feelings are hurt. Do we really think continuing to hurt others is the answer? We should give the ignorant a chance to learn.

There will certainly never be another Alex Trebek, but I for one will continue watching for as long as possible since I care about the game itself and not the host at the lectern.

Here is the truth about Art Fleming and Alex Trebek, as I have watched all the seasons: This video made Art Fleming seem like a villain, but he was wildly popular. In fact, Alex Trebek was hated at first, because he took Art Fleming's job, and people thought Alex Trebek was too brash and cocky. Later Alex Trebek became a popular host. It was very similar to how people hated Jack Nicklaus when he came along and started beating Arnold Palmer, but later Jack Nicklaus became a respected golfer. By the way, Art and Alex were buddies, Art even recommended Alex for the job, and sadly they both died of pancreatic cancer.

One thing is clear when viewing this list: some of the Jeopardy fans will complain about EVERYTHING imaginable. Though we can also say Chu is a huge scumbag because of his affiliation with some very slimy individuals who are dead set against media transparency and would use their clout in media to threaten and harass anyone from publishing critical articles about them,, and using third party blocklists on Twitter to purge out anyone who had or would have the guts to call him on it.

Art Fleming was an incredibly nice man and, in my opinion, the best host of Jeopardy! I very much resent this video’s portrayal of him because, even though he had the opinions he had, he was never so strong as to be rude about it. Also even with the opinions he had, he still found the new Jeopardy! to be: “one of the better shows on television”. I know I’m kind of ranting here, but the amount of times Fleming just gets swept under the rug kinda pisses me off.

I didn't like the episode when they marked someone wrong for the garden of Gethsemane and gave it to the next contestant whose pronunciation was definitely off. They pick and choose what they will let sly on the account of pronunciation and this time I think that they were 100% wrong. I also felt that they were wrong when they asked a question about hours and the first one said, megawatts, the next one said kilowatts and the last one said gigawatts. The correct answer was kilowatt hours. They could have said be more specific and they would have said the hours. I'm sure that they felt that the hours was implied and there was no need to say it.

I feel like this list misrepresented Jennings’ tweets and how offended people really were. He was making fun of conservatives rather than historically oppressed groups. Not to mention that he owned up to it rather quickly. While it’s possible it costed him the job, it did blow over rather quickly. Meanwhile, the two hosts they did get are far more offensive with having genuinely offensive remarks and pseudoscience, respectively.

The word "Scandal" used to mean something like a married person having affairs, child molestation, single people having children, an actor or politician being a drunk or addict, or committing a murder, etc. Now it's saying a socially unacceptable word, or making a politically incorrect tweet. Yawn.

Wow you really can't pick up on nuance or tongue in cheek usages of words. First off, an executive producer hiring himself for a job that over 10 hosts were publicly competing for definitely counts a scandal, especially in the context of a show watched by millions every single day. Ken Jennings making insensitive remarks like "Nothing is sadder than a hot person in a wheelchair" got the backlash it deserved, and for some reason you think nobody should be held accountable for obnoxious and insensitive remarks. Besides, this list is obviously using a very loose definition of the word scandal for most of the entries. it's clear they mean jeopardy news stories that got a lot of attention, not necessarily a scandal. Obviously Trebek shaving a mustache is not a real scandal. You're that guy that takes everything literally aren't you?

@@20thCenturyFav I'm that chick who writes her impressions of things she has seen or read, without expecting everyone else to interpret them the same way. I CAN pick up on nuance and tongue-in-cheek, and that's why I don't take a tossed-off, foolish comment, like the example of Jenning's that you give, as a reason to deny someone a job, or worse. Your second paragraph makes pretty much the same point I was making. Thanks for the back-up.

​@@texas2step266 You actually can't pick up on nuance or loose usage of words like 'scandal' because it should have been evident to you a few minutes into this video that not every item on this was a REAL scandal. Unless you would put Alex Trebek's mustache on the same level as Watergate. The only real scandals listed in this video are what happened with Mike Richards and the Ken Jennings tweets that insulted the disabled community. The rest are just Jeopardy news items that got a lot of attention, but aren't scandals. Your takeaway from this video is that every single item on this list was a literal scandal and that people are snowflakes for getting offended at tweets mocking disabled people even if it's said in jest (as if that's a justification). The fact that Ken Jenning's tweet was tossed/off foolish comment doesn't excuse what was said or make its impact any less damaging. You could use the same logic to excuse someone using the N word. Is that a society you want to live in? Get real. This literally cost him the job of Jeopardy host, and it pissed off a ton of people, so yes it was a scandal. You can laugh off a joke that mocks the disabled community, but that says more about you than it does anything else. You're giving a pass to rude and insensitive remarks, your take on this issue is worthless since you are giving a pass for making ableist remarks and by extension, any racist/sexist remarks as well, as long as it was a 'tossed off' comment.

The fact that so many people keep having issues with the different hosts of a freaking game show just shows the sheer ignorance of humans today. I could not care less if they got O.J. Simpson to be the host, these people need to just watch the damn show and stop trying to personally pick who the new host should be. No one is perfect.
