I'm still holding out for Eddie Timanus as host, even though they'd have to feed him the questions (and a small percentage of the answers) through a headset every question

1/22/2021 10:58:39 PM

Jeopardy deep cut.

1/23/2021 9:24:06 AM

Watching a weekend re-run with Alex. Reminded of how he always condescendingly says "Good for you!" after a lame contestant story.

1/23/2021 7:22:05 PM

that always ruled

1/23/2021 11:05:58 PM

Yeah that was one of the best features of the show.

1/23/2021 11:22:41 PM

I'm sure the format/show will continue but there is no replacing the viewing enjoyment that was Alex

1/23/2021 11:24:14 PM

Let's be real though, nobody tuned in to Jeopardy for Alex. You watch Jeopardy to test your knowledge, 'play' against the people you're watching with, etc. He was a staple of the show but nobody who enjoys Jeopardy is just going to stop watching.

1/23/2021 11:43:23 PM

Preach

Quote :

"Ken Jennings is not in the same universe as Trebek, and I say that as someone who really likes Ken Jennings "

Based on his twitter, I thought he'd have more charisma as host but he was kinda flat. Maybe it's something he would grow into...

1/25/2021 12:45:22 AM

I'm a few episodes behind, but I watched Jennings' first show. Pretty good for his first.

But his voice is not ideal. Not vocal fry, but he's more nasal-y. Trebek had a good, solid voice.

1/25/2021 9:20:04 AM

Wow I really like this Mike Richards guy as a host.

[Edited on February 23, 2021 at 10:11 PM. Reason : Also I'd field his questions ]

2/23/2021 9:52:17 PM

don’t think he has nearly enough of a personality yet

could change with more reps, but not very impressed so far

2/23/2021 10:51:18 PM

In any case, he's unlikely to be the permanent host because he's already the executive producer.

2/24/2021 7:50:42 AM

Katie Couric was not credible as host. Ken Jennings and Mike Richards did a much better job.

3/9/2021 7:17:56 AM

Aaron Rogers slated to host in April.

3/9/2021 8:25:03 AM

According to an article in the LA Times in January Mike Richards is actually one of the favorites. Though it is one of the most desirable jobs in Hollywood right now.

Ken was a decent guest host but his nasally voice annoyed my wife

Mike got better each show and his voice is slightly better.

Katie Couric's first show was actually pretty good, but I don't care for her personally and she is pretty politically divisive even more so than Ken.

3/9/2021 9:11:33 AM

She had several patronizing remarks about the intelligence of the contestants. We already know they're relatively smart. This is Jeopardy.

Mike Richards was good, but I grew tired of his identical closing remark quoting Alex each night. It's a nice aspiration, but the Jeopardy audience isn't the demographic that most needs to to hear and heed those words.

3/9/2021 9:46:24 AM

Dr. Oz? Are you serious?

Bill Whitaker might be good.

Fuck Dr Oz

3/14/2021 11:11:06 AM

He's a snake oil salesman. Thanks a lot, Oprah!

3/22/2021 9:22:31 PM

Yeah, let me tell you, the Jeopardy contestant facebook group has been a relentless "gahhhhhh not Dr. Oz!" riot for a few months now.

3/23/2021 8:25:28 AM

Good, fuck that dipshit.

3/23/2021 9:33:42 PM

I personally think Dr. lb carries more weight

3/23/2021 9:41:28 PM

Dr. Kg will always be the true international standard.

3/23/2021 10:13:40 PM

Dr. Stone is oldschool though

LOL at Amal's furious buzzer technique tonight.

Especially on the clue about Dev Patel (answered by some white guy), and the final clue of Double Jeopardy.

3/24/2021 7:25:37 PM

^^^^^^^
Who’s the consensus? Jennings didn’t have the gravitas I hoped but maybe he could grow.

Levar Barton is interesting but he hasn’t been tapped as a guest host yet

4/2/2021 10:13:56 AM

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ .
Did you like that host?

4/2/2021 10:50:25 AM

Glad to be rid of "Doctor" Oz.

4/3/2021 8:01:11 AM

Did anyone else notice Dr. Oz saying "correct" in surprised voice when one of the females answered?

4/3/2021 10:03:29 AM

I boycotted the show during that time

And extended that to include katie

4/3/2021 10:12:01 AM

In before man's final Jeopardy response leaves Aaron Rogers speechless click bait

4/5/2021 7:29:56 PM

Got 'em!

4/5/2021 8:02:36 PM

Haha hell yeah he did

4/5/2021 10:51:54 PM

Is jeopardy just getting a bunch of really terrible hosts and then going to surprise hire an actual good one?

Because these guests hosts ain't it, chief.

4/6/2021 12:19:42 AM

Thoughts on the three finger thing?

4/29/2021 11:49:51 PM

I mean…i guess his “i held up one finger for first win, 2 fingers for 2nd win, 3rd finger for third win” defense holds water. And maybe he is so smart he is stupid and isn’t aware he held put up his 3 finger hand gesture thing in a racist manner? He definitely did the 3 wins gesture in such a manner that it at least seems suspect. I’ll wait for the internet sleuths to dig up his past

4/29/2021 11:57:16 PM

Same

4/30/2021 12:25:19 AM

What did the three fingers say to the face?!

4/30/2021 7:28:43 AM

Hopefully LeVar Burton works in both the Star Trek TNG VISOR and saying, "But you don't have to take MY word for it. . ." (*Ba dum bum!*)

4/30/2021 7:37:13 AM

Nobody holds fingers like that to mean "3"



I guess that's not entirely true nba players do but this guy isn't in the nba


[Edited on April 30, 2021 at 7:48 AM. Reason : The 3 was also diff from the 1 and 2 and he has the "ok" on his fbook page ]

4/30/2021 7:42:45 AM

People just looking to be outraged about things.

I am sure this story was pushed by Arthur Chu

This is just QAnon level of stupidity

4/30/2021 8:27:02 AM

QAnon doesn’t exist and racists use that signal

4/30/2021 8:53:03 AM

QAnon doesn't exist? Depends on whether you're referring to a person or the "movement".

4/30/2021 9:07:08 AM

I guess I should’ve said one is a baseless conspiracy theory and the other is an actual symbol white supremacists use

always amused how right wingers always make a point to downplay racism

bonus points for baselessly accusing an Asian former champ

[Edited on April 30, 2021 at 9:42 AM. Reason : .]

4/30/2021 9:16:15 AM

Just because some 4Chan shit posters and a group of White Supremacists say the symbol means white power does not mean it is. Especially when it was a common way to show the number 3 on your fingers.

I stand corrected on Arthur unless he was one of the anonymous signers he wasn't on the list, but based on his social media acitivity it wouldn't be out of character for him to be involved in something like this.

The fact that he had to apologize is ridiculous over something so trivial. Even Snopes said this was BS and they have a decidedly left wing slant.

4/30/2021 10:55:21 AM

No one answered my joke.
