Aaron Rodgers on Jeopardy
With Aaron Rodgers hosting, category Title Waves:
“In the 1960s these Midwesterners earned 5 NFL championship trophies.”
The response from the three contestants ... crickets.
“Green Bay Packers?” Rodgers said, making the appropriate face and stretching out his arms in disbelief.

Re: Ken Jennings on Jeopardy
Buzzy Cohen, a nine-time Jeopardy champion from 2016 who also won the 2017 Tournament of Champions, will host this year's TOC, to be shown May 17-28. Buzzy was probably the most divisive Jeopardy contestant before James Holzhauer with his distinct sense of humor.

Re: Ken Jennings on Jeopardy
They're making it difficult to want to watch. Cooper? Stephanopoulos? Buck? Might as well have Michelle Obama and AOC host as well. I know Buck is probably more apolitical, but who really can stand him, on either side of the aisle?

Re: Ken Jennings on Jeopardy
I love Mayim Bialik -- I love it that a neuroscientist played a neuroscientist on one of television's most popular shows, and I think she did a nice job on Jeopardy! tonight. But that outfit! Aargh! It looked like she was trying to imitate the blockiest building in town painted in the least appealing colors.
I hope for something different tomorrow night. Even one of her Amy Farrah Fowler outfits would be better.

I thought Bialik's first episode was very smooth and strong. I loved that she connected the first two players' stories, during the interview segment.

Re: Ken Jennings on Jeopardy
I agree with Skoop, and as of today, she is my pick to replace Trebek.

Re: Ken Jennings on Jeopardy
I agree she's done a great job, but I don't see her or any of the other celebrities getting the permanent hosting role. It's a very time-consuming job, and they're looking for someone willing to make a long-term commitment. The only similar situation I can remember is when Drew Carey took over for Bob Barker on The Price Is Right. His acting career pretty much came to an end at that point. Bialik has a sitcom on Fox that's been renewed for another season.SportsFan68 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 02, 2021 7:09 pmI agree with Skoop, and as of today, she is my pick to replace Trebek.
I think the host will be either Ken Jennings or Buzzy Cohen. LeVar Burton is a possibility, since his acting career is somewhat minimal now and he's got some great credentials, but I think they'd be looking for someone younger. Burton is 64.

Re: Ken Jennings on Jeopardy
I heard Mayim on a Bill Nye podcast and she pretty much said she wouldn't do it full time because it would be too time consuming. She's a great listen on any podcast if you ever get a chance.

At this point my rankings would be:

8 - Mike Richards
7 - Bill Whittaker
6 - Katie Couric
5 - Anderson Cooper
4 - Aaron Rodgers
3 - Ken Jennings
2 - Buzzy Cohen
1 - Mayim Bialik
After only one outing I can't rate Savannah Guthrie. From this list I think only two are likely candidates - Ken and Buzzy. The others are either too old (TPTB don't want to have to go through this again in only a few years) or have other commitments. I know some are holding out for LeVar Burton - but I can't comment until I see his performances.
