I will take who would cause the total demise of Jeopardy if selected as a host for $1000.

Following Alex Trebek’s death on Sunday at age 80, George Stephanopoulos’ reps are already lobbying for the ABC News anchor to become the next host of the hit game show “Jeopardy!,” a highly placed person with knowledge of the situation told TheWrap.
Stephanopoulos’s agent did not respond to TheWrap’s request for comment, but a knowledgeable individual close to the “Good Morning America” co-host denied that he was “actively” pursuing the role. However, the highly placed person told TheWrap that Stephanopoulos has his eye on the lucrative position and that his team was lobbying hard at ABC, where he serves as ABC News’ chief anchor and political correspondent.

people are going to hate whoever they hire, so it doesn't really matter
Jeopardy is going to die a slow death now

No one likes little Georgie and it's just like his smarmy arse to lobby for this job a day or two after Alex died. The public backlash will show ABC it would be a poor choice.

Trebek swore it would be a woman.
Though his pick was a different guy hated by the right.

He would be a terrible choice. Punchable face.

I want a no-name to be Trebek’s replacement at Jeopardy instead of a big-name celebrity. With the exception of Regis Philbin, well-known celebrities tend to be terrible game show hosts.

I got a buddy who watches every single episode of Jeopardy and could definitely be on the show and he said George Stephanopoulos is way too political.
I agree that Stephanopoulos is too political. It needs to be someone more universally liked, IMO.

I watch some of it most every day.
I think personable people that have experience running a panel type show is what I'd look for.
Maybe someone who hosts a news show. Do they have any people on news shows that just host, and don't argue?
A talk show host does most of the same things a game show host does.
People I could stand in the role from sports:
Chris Fowler and Rece Davis both have experience with hosting College Gameday, a show with multiple players they have to keep on cue time, etc. They were never the stars on the show.
Kay Adams does the same thing really well, on The NFL Network morning show Good Morning Football.
It almost has to be someone that will take a back seat to the contestants.

It’ll be a woman or non-white. Or a gay.

They just need to "kill" the show. Give trebek the honor of being the last host.
