Does anyone know if they're going to change the eligibility rules, now that they have a new host, or are they just going to say "never appeared on Jeopardy before?"

I think a lot of folks think that because of the language in the old J! contract, specifically mentioning "Jeopardy! with Alex Trebek" hope that. But I think that language was to distinguish it, originally, from the Art Fleming version, and later from other variations, such as "Rock and Roll Jeopardy!" and "Sports Jeopardy!"

I don't think the rules will change to allow those of us who have been on the show to try and get on again.
